H2B and I have already decided to go for the traditional English order walking down the aisle - me first followed by MOH with flower girl and then BM.
However, I was torn between the two at first and ended up not really bothered so gave H2B the chance to decide and he wanted traditional English so that's what we're doing.
My sister decided to do American style, BM's first and her last with Dad - save the best 'til last and build the suspense and anticipation.
Traditional English style means your BM's can ensure your train is all arranged properly as you walk down. American style I can see the argument for saving the best 'til last but you could have an untidy train as you make your grand entrance.
I'm just curious as to what everyone else is doing or thinking of doing - just out of interest.

im having the american as the way the church is set up the families and my BM's will actually be sat in front of where we get married ( in what was traditionally the chior pews). if I went first my BM's would have to squeeze past me to get to their seats!! Also I am having my FG scattering rose petals as she goes.
CommentAuthorMrs Davro
Now you've got me thinking, they need to sort out my dress but I also want them to go first.
Think if mum is still with current flavor of the month will have his daughter as flower girl (just coz I want one) go first then me then two bridesmaids.
I'm going last, and I havent got a train on my dress so no problem
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorInDreamland
I love the idea of my FG scattering rose petals in front, followed by me and Dad, then my sis and my best mate to ensure train is all tidy. Only thing is my niece-to-be (FG) will only be coming up to 3 and a half when the time comes so I'm not sure if that is old enough to walk down the aisle and do what she needs to do at the right sort of speed without some form of supervision.
My sister last year had 3 FG's, they were 9, 7 and 5 and the youngest needed to be supervised down the aisle by the older two.
So I will need to decide if I send my FG down first or if I have her follow me with my sister holding her hand, or she could hold my train (if she is no longer at the nose picking stage - saw her last week and she is digging out some serious bogeys and then coming in for cuddles - GROSS!).
I still have 13 months to decide.
What do you think?

CommentAuthorbrilly
i will be going last hopefully the train will keep itself straight as i drag it along lol but it just gives every 1 a chance (6 bms) to get in and then be seated i suppose but we are having christine aquilera "i turn to you" played which means alot to me as it describes h2b to the T so gives people a chance to hear the music too xx
31st August 2013 I became Mrs Carrick

Our wedding day - 6 October 2012
CommentAuthorJoanna
I think i want my bridesmaids behind me because i need my moh to help with my train, but i have two bridesmaids aged 2 and 4 so i'm a bit worried about them getting down the aisle and not wandering off lol, so i might have to have my moh hold their hands and just hope my dress will be okay lol xx
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return

CommentAuthorMorgsysGirl(kempy)
I'm not too fussed about my train as the BMs can always sort it out at the alter. I think they'll go first then me my dad and my son as my two boys are taking me to my third boy. Also if my daughter is walking I want her to toddle down the isle with me x

CommentAuthorLoopster
I'm going last. I've been at weddings where both have been done. But just feel like when the bride came first I paid no attention to the bridesmaid. But everyone has there own preference and I can understand outting the bridesmaids at the back to sort the train etc :-) xxx
CommentAuthorJennyTembo
im going last for the exact same reason as the one above.. i know the day is all about the bride and groom but the people that are taking part in the wedding cause you have asked them will compleatly be outshined if you go first ... let them have there bit of limelight to :) xx
looking forward to being Mrs Embo :)
CommentAuthorStaceyP91
I'm also going last, have 3 bmaids including the moh, but also a fg and a pb so those 2 will be going 1st followed by 2 bmaids & then my moh but also thinking bout having my moh infront of the 2 bmaids :) i was also worried bout my dress as I have a Big grand enterance with a grand stair case. Got me thinking bout it now lol Xxxxx
30-11-13 my life becomes complete

CommentAuthorKaya
My bridesmaid wanted to go behind me, cos she was nervous about walking down, but tbh I wish I'd made her go first, as cos I was first, didn't get any pics of her or my page boys walking down :-(
Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D
CommentAuthormrsheavey2b
i will b going last as well i have 2 older bms 23 and 24 they will go first then i am going to have my daughter and son that will b 3 and 6 wearing identical out fits to me and there dad good down holding hands then me and me dad x:)
CommentAuthorKate_B
I always imagined my BM's going down behind me but like others have mentioned - at least they'll have their lil moment in the limelight aswell so will check dress is ok before they go and thenme and my Dad will come in last... :) xx
CommentAuthorFuture Mrs Doublé
I an going last as I think it gives bm and fg their moment of glory, and my sister who is a bridesmaid will need to hold her son (pb) hand as he's only 2 and would be likely to run away with our cushion
Soon to be Mrs Gary Doublé
Everything is now booked
Getting really stressed and excited now
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Nice to hear everyone's thinking on this lol. My sister is not fussed, I wasn't particularly fussed so I'm happy with H2B's decision. It was actually my best mate who asked me what my thinking was as she was nervous about going first and so is really pleased my H2B has decided he'd like me first.
Still to decide what to do with the FG but we have time to see what she'll be like.

CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
I am chief bridesmaid at my friends wedding next year and she is going kind of American! The bms and flower girls and page boy are walking down before her, however I will walk behind her so that I can sort out her train before she walks down the aisle and then she can also easily pass me her bouquet when she gets down to her h2b :) xx

I want my BM to go first (possibly along side flower girl) followed by MOH then me and my Dad. However BM's and Mother all want me to go first as is the tradition. Of course being the bride and having been nice and calm about everything so far I might have to unleash my inner brideziller if they keep arguing about it....
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Hmmmmm, American style seems to be more popular?
My train will be a mess though if I send BM's down before me and Dad. Have to take a 90degree corner at the beginning of the aisle.

I went last
Flowergirl scattering petals (our venue didn't normally allow it, but our co-ordinator was so lovely and she couldn't say no to my husband's baby sister- she said the venue should be fine since it was petals and not paper), accompanied by Bridesmaid no.1 to make sure she didn't get nervous.
Bridesmaid no.2 with Best Man no.2
MoH with Best Man no. 1
Me with my mum and dad- I wanted both of them to walk me down, although it was rather interesting getting the three of us down in one go!
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Oooh, the bestman walking down the aisle, that's new? I haven't seen that before during the processional, only the recessional. x
