Who is walking in first? You, Your BMs? Which order are you all supposed to walk in, in ?

I have 3 little girls, 2 page boys and 1 adult BM? I am not sure what the done thing is???

Ours is a civil ceremony at our hotel so they don't really mind. My son/pageboy is walking in first, then bm's and then me and my mum :) x
The registrar is quite happy with this as there's not much room at the front so this will give them chance to get in ang get to their places before we get in. If it was us first we'd have to be moving about up front to make way for them. This way when I walk in I can just stand straight next to h2b x

It personal preference i think when i was BM we walked in 1st then bride and like ClareE i would also think about venue as it was like hshe said it will give them time to sit if need to but do think about if giving flowers to anyone or want dress sorting out etc as well x

i wanted BM's first but the church told us it was bride first so check with them first

ours is a civil partnership so toally different.
we're having out flower girls go first, all 3 together, then the 5 bridemsiads and 5 ushers (one male one female together) about 30 seconds or so apart, then my parter and her dad and grandad whoa re both giveng her away, then my partner.
We are then leaving a gap long enough for her to walk down the aisle get to her place and turn round so she can see me walk in with her mother

hi, i think it depends on the venue as well.
my sister had BM's first then her as she was getting married in a hotel. She did have to expain to them though thats what she wanted as they assumed that she was going first, but my friend got married in a church and they were quite pushy about her walking in first.
i prefer the american way of BM's and flower girls first.
that way. once they are all down the front. all the attention is on you.

Mrs Mann, the church didn't let you have the bm's first? I'll have to remember to check with my church then lol x

I'm having the young BM's walk in first, then me and my dad, then the adult BM's behind so that they can sort out my dress before I go down and it will also be easier to pass my flowers to one of them when I get to the alter xxx

I am having my MOH first then my two bridesmaids then me and my dad. Ive always wanted them to go in first as that way i get to take everything in beforehand.

i didnt know the church could tell you what order you have to walk in!!! i am worried now as i want to go down the aisle last!

That's silly I don't see what difference it makes in church. I think I'd like to go first but will need to look at the venue again as it might be easier to have the bms first xx

Mym is right, it's the difference between British and American tradition. I think if you've got lots of bridesmaids it makes sense for them to go first then they are out of the way. My BM's sister only had her as a BM so she went Bride first and it was lovely. Not sure what i'm going to do yet, I hadn't really thought about. Only having 2 bridesmaids but also a couple of children. x

i want my bridesmaids first as when i was bridemaid when i was little i walked in first and thats always how its been in my head x

My bridesmaids walked in first, I wanted them to have their 5 minutes of fame.....then the aisle was clear for me to walk down with my son.....

My MOH is going in first, then the two older bridesmaids, then my youngest and then me.

I'm thinking FG with her mum (my CBM), then my MOH, then my other BM, then me and dad, think my ring bearer will already be down the front with the lads, he always likes to feel like one of the lads being only 14 lol

N xx

i think i will b sending page boy,flower girl n bm first n ill go last with my dad x
