Might be a silly question but I'm having my bms walk down the aisle before...

Might be a silly question but I'm having my bms walk down the aisle before me as I think it builds up the moment. But my worry is who is going to sort out the train at the back of my dress when I arrive at the top of the aisle? Is this something I could ask my planner to do? Going into the room, there is a slope, which might sort the train out naturally, or do I just let it do whatever it's going to do for the walk, and ask my bms to fan it out once I get to the alter? With the rest of my wedding planned and sorted, it's these silly things that have got me worried now!! Ha!

My venue told me to stop at the bottom of the stairs and they sorted it for me before I continued to walk down the aisle! Ask the venue? I'm sure they'll have staff standing by!

There is normally a staff member (usually the planner) there to open the doors and make sure you're ready to go in and they normally do things like that if the bridesmaids go in first .

As photographers one of us always straightens the train for the bride before she walks in.

Bridesmaids just before they set off. Then dad just to double check before you set off. Enjoy your day.

I had my BMs go ahead and then my MoH after me to sort my train. Maybe this could be an option if you have a MoH or chief BM x

Get your bridesmaids to do it before they go in and if it messes up again get your dad to do it. When you are stood in the room with your fiancé your bridesmaids will sort it there too. X

Bridesmaids sort out your dress, then they walk in first, then you walk in and if necessary one bridesmaid can adjust your dress when you reach the top of the isle, then just steps back in line x

My event planner at the venue did mine before I walked in
