Should the groomsman escort the bridesmaids down the aisle, or should all of the groomsman be standing by the groom? I do not have a wedding planner, so I need some help!!! Thank you in advance.

We are not getting married in a church, we are getting married at the reception site by a justice of the peace.

first congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!
The grrom stands next to the judge along w the best man, the bridesmaids are escorted up there by the groomsmen, then if you have he ring bearer w the flower girl
your maid/matron of honor walks ahead of you
you make your big entrance w whoever is escorting you
after the ceremony, you walk out w your husband(:-) your maid of honor w the best man follow along w the rest of the bridal party.
during the rehearsal dont hesitate to try things different if something doesnt seem right to you. nothing is ever set in stone.
good luck and congrats again

The Goomsman stand up next to the Groom, the bridesmaids walk down the aisle by themselves. When you leave the ceremony, the groomsman escort the bridesmaids.
The groomsman need to be up there to catch the groom if he faints :) or to just support him if he is nervous! When all is said and done, everyone walks out together.

I have been organising weddings in Asia.
I think the groomsman should be standing by your man to help reduce his nervous. More people walking down the aisle meaning longer time to take. You wouldn't want that. Anyway, bridesmaids are good to look at, no one would really care who's the groomsman. :P Honestly.
You could have 2-3 flower girls to enter before you enter to sprinkle rose petals on the aisle to enhance the mood.
You could also pass around mini party poppers to the guests so that they could celebrate your occasion when you and your man walk back up the aisle.
Anyway,congrats!
Hope this helps.

My daughter had the grooms men stand at front with the last 2 groomsman walked the mothers down & joined the groom & bridesmaids walk alone. The bridesmaid, then jr bridesmaid, then flower girls & the only couple to walk down was her & as she says her "Daddy". After Bride & Groom walk down followed by flower girls, jr bridemaid, couples - Best Man & Maid or Matron of Honor, bridemaids & groomsmen, parents of bride, parents of groom, grandparents - brides then grooms. The groomsmen then go 1 row after another having people leave.
You can do couple to speed up wedding, but I like suspense
of waiting for bride. Good luck!

Okay let me ask you this. Do you have the same number on each side? What do you want?
This is what we did: Our best man stood up with the groom so he wasn't standing alone. Then the groomsman walked the girls down but the maid-of-honor walked down alone. It was beautiful. But it really depends on what you want. My brother had his groomsman walk down the grandmothers and the mothers and then they just went and stood up front and the bridesmaids walked down alone but I like the girls being escorted.
The flower girl and the ring bearer are the last to go before you so you are the only ones to walk on the flowers that she tosses on the ground.

There's many ways of going this. The one I've seen most recently is the Groom and Bestman are standing up front with the Clergyman. The Groomsmen then walk the bridesmaids down the aisle with the Maid of Honor walking by herself. It's really up to you how you want to do it.

At my wedding we had the men standing at the altar and as each bridesmaid walked down the aisle her escort would meet her and give her his arm and then walk her the rest of the way down the aisle.

The way the wedding goes is according to whateve the bride wants. I choose to have my groomsmen usher the mothers and grandparents and then stand next to the groom and the bridesmaids walked down by themselves carrying their bouquet.

As tradition goes, the women walk alone to the "altar" and after the ceremony is over they walk away with the groomsmen. Just like you walk alone or with a parent, but then away with your new husband.
The women will be on the left side and the men on the right during the service. Atleast that's how I did it at my wedding. Always here for advice!

In my wedding, the girls walked up the aisle alone and the guys walked back with them when the wedding was over. I have seen it either way. Try it both ways and see what you like. It is all up to you and what you want. It is your day and you can do what you want.
