| At the beginning of the ceremony, the groom, his groomsmen, and the pastor are usually already standing at the alter. The flower girl and ring bearer usually walk down together. Then the bridesmaids, alone. And then the bride. At the end of the ceremony, the bride and groom will walk down the aisle together, followed by the bridesmaids who are then escorted by the groomsmen. Usually by then the flower girl and ring bearer have sat down with other family members. That's how it's been done at most of the weddings I've attended and even at my own.Good luck! |

| I just got married and I had my girls walk down with the boys, They didn't hold any flowers and after the ceremony the walked off with the boys as well. I though it worked well.I also recommend having a break after the photos at your house/ hotel and before your car picks you and the girls up, just to have a coffee or something and to relax.Have fun. |

| In tradition when the ceremony begins, the groomsmen usher the mothers of the bride and groom to their seats. Mind you at this time the groom and the best man are already standing at the alter w/ the priest/ pastor/ jp ect. Then the groomsmen usher the bridesmaids down, and both bridesmaids and groomsmen take their places on either side of the alter. After this, the Maid Of Honor walks down the isle to her place, she traditionally walks alone, followed by the flower girl, and ring bearer whom traditionally walk together, and then finally the bride whom is escorted by her Father. Now after the ceremony is done, Bride and groom exit frst, followed by flower girl, and ring bearer, then maid of honor and best man walk together, and your bridesmaids and groomsmen follow. Then exits the parents grandparents, and other close family members. |

| It's however you want it done. Sometimes the girls are escorted by the men, sometimes the men enter with the minister/officiant & bridegroom & the girls walk alone.How is the venue you're using situated? One wedding I recently did was in a refurbished theater. There were some difficult steps up to the stage that the girls had to walk up so it was much easier for them to have someone to steady their step.And how is the flooring? Another wedding I did, the girls walked in alone but was escorted out like it's usually done. While recessing the MoH slid on the tile floor; luckily she had her escort. It would have been frightful had she done this processing; she could have really hurt herself.If you have any other questions you can talk to your officiant or email me. |

| The groom & groomsmen can enter single file and stand up front just before the ceremony begins. That is a signal to the guests it is about the start. The bridesmaids then enter and stand in their place. They are escorted out by the groomsmen. They should be fine on the staircase, in fact I think its easier to balance yourself when youre not holding onto someones arm. I wouldnt have a runner, either- they seem to cause more problems than anything else. |

| it's your day, do it your way! Groom and best man are normally already at the front. It's up to the couple if they want the groomsmen to escort the bridesmaids. If there's a staircase involved I really recommend having the groomsmen escort them. It will alleviate their nerves of the stair case and offer some safety if one should stumble on the stairs. Best wishes! |
