Bridesmaids walking alone down the aisle

[*Pixiedust1438*]

We have an uneven number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, and since the groomsmen already are, "walking down the aisle," with the groom and officiant, do you think it is fine if they walk alone, one after another? I feel like it id going to be more chaotic trying to arrange them with groomsmen and would just be a whole lot easier if they walked by themsleves and took their place on the altar. Any opinions?

Most of the weddings I've seen, the bridesmaids come alone and the groomsmen are at the alter with the groom. So I think that's fine. Are they going to walk into the reception in pairs? Then you might have to have a group of 3.

That is exactly what we are doing. We have 3 BMs and 5 GMs, so we will have the GMs walk in first, one right after the other, then the groom, then the BMs will walk in by themselves. It's really a matter of what your preference is. HTH.

Regardless of what Martha Stewart tells you, there's no right or wrong way to do these kinds of things. It's whatever you think will look okay! I have been to weddings where bridesmaids have walked alone, or paired with a groomsman, or I've seen two maids with a GM or vice versa. If you think the processional might be too long, the maids can walk in pairs and maybe the MOH can walk alone ... trust me, your guests will not think twice about any of it! Happy planning!

We had everyone walk in individually. I prefer it that way because I feel like guests are always trying to see the girls' dresses and flowers and it gives everyone their chance to shine. I did have them walk out together. I had two MOH's so they both walked out with the Best Man.

I think it's fine and actually looks really lovely for the groomsmen to be with your fiancee and your bridesmaids come down the aisle one at a time.

Congratulations!!!!!

I agree with the above. I think it looks classy to have the guys waiting with your future husband and to let the bridesmaids walk down one by one. I think it is classy to have the guys walk with the ladies as well. But if you are worried about them walking down one by one don't be. It will beautiful either way you decide.

I had the guys and the girls come on their own... I think that's usually the way they would set it up unless you tell them differently.... it's nice that way it give everyone a moment to shine!

Our wedding party was a lopsided mess I had a bridesmaid not be able to make it last minute, and I had a man of honour, bridesman, and flower girl. DF just had groomsmen lol So the groomsmen walked down the aisle after the officiant and DH, and my party just walked down themselves. It actually worked out better than I would have thought!

Have all the men supporting your future husband at the alter and give all the girls a moment to shine on their own before the real bell of the ball arrives.....Enjoy your day!
