Brideman

I want to thank everyone for there suggestions as I was lost before this thread. So I definitely will be taking everything into consideration.


Thank you so much

He can walk alone ahead of the others if he doesnt want to walk with another guy and he carry flowers too. It can add some light humor to a very serious (and sometimes awkward) moment. I'd talk to him about what hes comfortable with

A colleague of mine had two bridemen and one groomslady in their party of five each. For the reception, only the bride's party walked down the aisle in single file as the groom's party were already up in front of the church. For the party, they wanted to have the party walk in as pairs so one of the bridemen walked in with another guy. They totally owned it, hip checking and twirling each other in their entrances.

In this instance, the bridemen worse corsages because they didn't want to carry things around in their hands the whole time. It also saved the couple money because corsages are cheaper than bouquets. The groomlady wore a boutonniere on the strap of her dress.

One thing that I thought was cool was how they dressed the group. The groomsmen wore black suits with white shirts and coloured ties while the bridemen wore black suits with coloured shirts and white tie. The groomslady wore the same design of dress as the bridesmaids but in black with accents such as belt and shoes in the corresponding colour. This made it seem like the bridemen were integrated with the bridesmaids as opposed to being groomsmen standing with the bridesmaids, and same with the groomslady.

You could also have the grooms party all come in together, and all the bridesmaids with brideman come in together as group entrances representing each side if you prefer not to pair up.

It's pretty much up to the comfort level of your party members because I've seen stiff entrances for pairs made up of a guy and girl, as well as single entrances.

I like the idea of people walking up and down the aisle alone except for you and your new spouse after the ceremony. They can all follow single file after you (plus after the ceremony no one will notice the wedding party when the happy couple is the focus anyway)


He doesn't need to carry flowers, unless he wants to! You can have him simply walk empty handed or give the girls corsages and the guys boutonnieres so no one carries anything but they still get a floral piece to their outfit.

Brideman is a common thing now that is acceptable in the wedding party and to walk down the same as a bridesmaid. Just let him know where he stands in line. They can walk down side by side without hand contact or in front of the groomsmen as his choice.

Exactly like that! That's how my cousin in-law had her wedding party walk down. You would put the bridesman wherever he is in the lineup (doesn't have to go first or before the MOH or anything). Whoever is at the end (when looking at the alter) would walk first, leading up to the MOH who is right next to you at the altar, then you in the middle with your FH (same for his guys leading up to his Best man and then him in the middle with you).

Thank you so much Tori for welcoming me.

Okay so I are saying like as singles instead of couples?

Like first it would be Bridesmaid , then Bride-man , then the maid of honor.

Is that a thing because I have never seen it

Thank your for your reply

Before I even get to the questions - don't you worry about judgement!! This is a safe zone and we don't tolerate rudeness and/or ignorance! (Congrats on the engagement and welcome to the WW community btw)

1. For walking down the aisle we had our BM's and GM walk hand in hand - but if they either felt uncomfortable walking down hand in hand; man and man, then what about if they have the GM walk down first, then the BM, then you? (Like the officiant, the Groom with his Mom, GM, BM, flower girl/ ring bearer, then Bride with her Dad/Mom/etc.)

2. Again, it's a comfort thing - if he wants a bouquet, give him one. If he doesn't - then I would just have him look like the BM and if they have boutonnieres then so can he
