the wedding processional

Hey ladies i just wanted to ask how you are doing the wedding processional in church. I told my mil2b that i wanted the bridesmaids to go down first and then myself and my dad, for a couple of guilty reasons some i want to admit others no so much firstly Idlike to build up suspense so want to make a big entrance (lol) but mostly i went to a wedding reciently and the bridesmaids just seemed to be stuck in the aisle behind the bride and her father. Also i want evey1 to have a chance to admire my lovely bridesmaids, they r all so special to me and as much as no1 will admit every1 is interested to see wat the maids are wearing as well as the bride. I just likeit that way round. But my mil2b does not, she says its untraditional and americanised, what do you ladies think because now im confused and worried that people will react negatively to it!

I'm doing the same and for the same reasons, my MOH really appreciated the sentiment when I told her about it. It is untraditional and a bit American, but why does that make it bad?! Of the friends that I've told people havent said anything bad, I'm a little fearful of what some of my family will think, but I've decided not to tell them, I don't want the negativity plus when they see it they might get it, also remember no one is going to be rude to you on your wedding day. Ultimately you don't want to look back and think, I wish I had done it my way, it would have been so nice...

That's what we'll be doing! Our daughter who is flower girl (she'll be 2 at the wedding) will be going down first...followed by BM's...followed by ME

Me too. I really want the bridesmaids to have their moment and don't think they will in the same way if they go behind xx

I will be doing the same in six days time, sending the girls down first! It's your wedding do it your way!

Hello!i think that would be excited ！if me , when put on the wedding dress is enough make me happy!

Yep, we are also doing flowergirls, bridesmaids, bride. To be honest I have even asked anyone what they think. I have already discovered that you cannot please everyone all of the time and I am only prepared to argue/compromise on certain things now. This is certainly not going to be one of the things I stress about. Your MIL will get over it. Wedding traditions change. An older lady asked me the other day if I had my "going away outfit" yet. I had to politely explain that most people don't "go away" anymore and that I will be there at the party in my dress until the end!

If it makes you feel any better, I have been to 6 weddings in the last year and the BMs went first at ALL of them. Try not to worry, very few people will be surprised or even think anything of it.

I'm dong exactly the same! Flowergirl and pageboy for the cute factor, 3 bridesmaids then me and my Dad:) makes perfect sense to me!

My venue has a narrow aisle so there's no way I'm going first and having them all trip over my train to get past! Also I want to build up the excitement just like you

didn't realise it would be such a controversial decision. my sister (only bridesmaid) is going down before me and my dad with my dogs and no one will be following us, how would you admire the back of my dress hehehehe
