Who walks down the aisle before the bride?

In a traditional wedding ceremony I was wondering who walks down the aisle before the bride? The brides mother and brother, or the flower girl ect. I appreciate any help!


Usually your bridesmaids go first, then your maid of honor, then the flowergirls (if any) and pageboy then you

Traditionally, in the US, the procession is as follows:

grandparents of groom, grandparents of bride

parents of groom, mother of bride

groom and groomsmen enter by the altar

bridesmaids process in, one at a time

maid of honor enters

ring bearer and flower girl enter (if separately, flower girl is last)

bride and her father/escort enter

However, in the UK apparently the tradition if for the bride to enter first, followed by her bridesmaids.

After grandparents are seated, typically mothers of bride and groom are first, to light the candles (if you have that). Following will be the flower girls and/or ring bearer; next are typically the bridesmaids.

But it's all up to you! I've seen lots of variations and they all seem to work as long as it's practiced at the rehearsal and it's what you want!

Best of luck!

Are you walking in with your fiance or is he processing in separately? If you and he are walking in with your parents instead of together, then he and his parents will be right before you. If you're walking in together, then either your parents or his walk in before you two do (and the other set of parents right before them).

Traditionally the flower girl walks down right before the bride. If you are not having a flower girl, then it would be the maid of honor.

usually the flower girl is right before the bride but you can have it anyway you want :)

The flower girl, throwing petals out of her basket for you to tread over. My daughter was mine, it was so precious.
