I don't know what order to have my wedding party walk down the aisle. Are you brides having bridesmaids go before you or after you? I have a flower girl, two bridesmaids and my maid of honour. And of course me and dad!

I read about this one way is American the other is British. I've decided to have bridesmaids first so that everyone will of stood up and stopped shuffling by time they get down the aisle then I can go next x

I'm thinking my venue is smaller so it might be better if they go first as there might not be room for them to get around me. That might change when I see how the room is laid out though.

I had page boys and flower girls, the page boys went first, flower girls with my adult bridesmaids then me and my dad. That's the order the registrar told us to go in xx

I walked down first with my bridesmaids in single file behind me. We talked about it and he said he wanted to see me as soon as he could, so he could take in all of my dress and stuff and we just grinned at each other the entire time :) It was like one of those cheesy moments in the film when all you see is each other and almost forget people are there watching

I had everyone walk before me... I had my son & daughter (flower girl & pageboy) holding hands going down first, my daughter was only 2 yr old so thought they had to hold hands... But they both walked lovely.
Then my MOH (My aunt) in the middle of my 2 little bridesmaids all holding hands.
Then me & my grandad at the end.
I wanted everyone before me so I'm simply not stood waiting once I got down the isle
If I was you I'd have the flower girl & MOH together, then bridesmaids, then you & your dad! Good luck

I had flower girl and pageboy then bridesmaids then maid of honour then vicar then me and my dad. The vicar had to walk in front of me. I just thought if bride walks first, everyone is follows her down right till end and looking at back of brides dress so they miss bridesmaids etc walking down. Show off your bridesmaids etc and let them have a bit of the limelight, plus it's a big build up for the bride x

I had flower girl, ring bearer (my son) and page boy first then me and my dad and then behind 3 adult bridesmaids x

The British way is to have the maids follow - my cousins priest insisted on the British way, he wouldn't allow it the American way with the bridesmaids first....x.

UKbride Administrator 7 Jul 2017

I had my flower girls, then my youngest bridesmaid, then my two older bridesmaids walked in together, then myself n my son x

UKbride Administrator

Traditionally before is the American way and after is the British way. It's up to you but I like tradition so I think I'm having mine walk behind me. That also means my maid of honour can make sure my dress is all in place at the back too.

I had three adult bridesmaids and two little flower girls. Two of the bridesmaids went down the aisle first as a pair, followed by the flower girls with chief bridesmaid behind them (to help them know where to go). I went last with my dad. I think it's more American for the bride to go last but I just preferred it that way. Do whatever works best for you x

I had my bridesmaids come behind me. I had quite a long train so they made sure it didn't get caught on anything while I walked down the aisle!

Bridesmaids/bridesman before me, until I saw a similar post to this recently I actually didn't know that the bride going first was even a thing! I thought it just made sense for the bride to walk down last

UKbride Administrator 7 Jul 2017

I had 11 bridesmaids 5 little 5 adult and my maid of honour they walked in pairs 1 little 1 adult then me and my dad and my moh behind x

My dad is no longer with us unfortunately and neither is my husbands dad, so my sister walked me in (she was my moh as well) my bridesmaid and my son walked in just before us X

UKbride Administrator

I was going to walk down first until my photographer pointed out out she may not get all the bridal party shots because there are a few people and it's quite a long walk. She may have had to stop capturing the walk to get me meeting my partner at the front. Speak to the venue and photographer about it also.

MY bridesmaids walked in before but they were my daughters and I wanted them to have their moment

I'm hoping to have my first bridesmaid walking with my daughter holding hands who is flower girl, then my second bridesmaid with my son who is page boy and is her godson and then my MoH who is my sister so she can do a final check on me and my dad. And then dad and me. Making my partner wait simply because my dress is quite big and I don't want people stepping on it behind. Or one of my children jumping on it. (guaranteed one of them will, I'm betting my daughter)

My bridesmaids walked in front of me and my dad and my maid of honour came in after to sort my dress train as had to walk up stairs x

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 7 Jul 2017

Mine are going first, I've got 1 page boy, 4 flower girls, 1 bridesmaid and my maid of honour. My son (pageboy) will be almost 5 so will walk down holding the hands of my daughter and niece who will both be nearly 3, I then have my other 2 nieces ages 5 and 8 who will walk down together throwing flowers followed by my eldest niece 17 and my moh! I will then follow with my dad. 2 reasons for this is that the room I am getting married in is quite narrow so want everyone to be able to be seated easily without trying to get round me being in the way and I'd also them to be photographed coming down the aisle without me in this way and also me and my dad be photographed without them in the way.

I sent my bridesmaid and flower girls in first because the last flower girl had this sign i think it builds it up more, the guests see the bridesmaids and the flower girls and then they see you :)

My junior bridesmaid is going first she's 10 and then my flower girls which are 5 and 2 going next then my adult bridesmaids my cousin then my sister and then my my maid of honour and then me after .

I would have liked them to go in age order but my 2 year old daughter won't know what she is doing if I send her out first so having my junior bridesmaid and my eldest daughter go first

I like the thought of the bride being the last to enter the room! It builds excitement and lets face it everyone can't wait to see her! 5 weeks to go for me and dress fitting yesterday has increased my excitement to overload 😬

Em, when we married, mum came down the isle with her dad, followed by the brides maids, vicar was already up by the altar in front of me and the best man. Father of the bride then hands bride over.....
