The wedding processional is the order in which people walk down the aisle at the start of a wedding ceremony. It marks the beginning of the ceremony and is a highly anticipated moment, so its important to get the wedding processional order right. The traditional wedding processional order is as follows:
- Grandparents of the couple
- Parents of the couple
- Officiant
- Groom and groomsmen
- Bridesmaids
- Maid of honor
- Ring bearer
- Flower girl
- Bride and father
However, this order can be adapted or personalized to fit the couples preferences and values. For example, some couples may choose to have both parents walk the bride down the aisle, or to have the bride and groom walk down the aisle together. Here are some tips to help determine the wedding processional order:
- Consider the couples values and preferences.
- Decide who will walk the bride down the aisle.
- Determine the order of the wedding party.
- Decide who will walk the groom down the aisle.
- Choose who will carry the rings and flowers.
Ultimately, the most important thing is that the couple feels that the processional aligns with their personal style and values.
