For your wedding how did you decide who walked down the aisle with who? Did you not care and just picked names. Did you base it off of heights, bodytypes, personalities, friends with certain ones so you matched them together if two in your party were friends....etc.
Explain how you matched your bridesmaids and grooms mens. There might be a tradion to this I'm not aware of.
Curious to read your responses thanks!

I have read some of your responses- matching couples by color is ignorant. Matching them by height is fine, so is age, or importance to the bride and groom. But the main thing to consider will be who would that person be comfortable with. My daughter is in mine. She would not feel comfortable holding her 29 year old new uncles arm so we paired her up with her 15 year old new "uncle". They are close in age, so it wont look funny. I tend to think more on the bridesmaids and their feelings. Since we only have 2 on each side it wasnt really a consideration.
You can do it how you like, but height, age, role in the party and preferences play a HUGE part in it.

In my wedding I simply knew who my maid of honor was and who the best man was, so they we automatically together whether they wanted to or not. It is your wedding and you just put your people in it. I only had 2 maids and my husband had 2 men in it. So, it wasn't so difficult. I'd say it is your wedding and if they do not like it...TOUGH!...It IS all about you!!! They can hold arms for a day it will not hurt them!!

i did not have bridesmaids, yet as quickly as I had i might have positioned them mutually in accordance to top. there isn't something stranger then seeing an exceptionally tall bridesmaid with a shorter guy or any incorrect way around.

People usually go by height, in my experience.
And if you have one maid of honor and one best man, then those 2 get put together. Other than that, by height.
It's not meant to be a matchmaking or pseudo-romantic pairing thing at all.

When I got married ,I'm divorced now, my best friend was my maid of honor and a very close cousin of mine was my bridesmaid. My ,now ex, husband had his best friend as his best man and my brother as his groomsman. When the wedding was over the maid of honor and best man walked together and the bridesmaid and groomsman walked together. It really all just depends on you.

First off, I think it's icky if people put together couples just for appearances' sake - by height, etc. It should be done in order of their importance to you. Your maid of honour and his best man should be two people who are closest to each of you, and then the bridesmaids and groomsmen in descending order of closeness to you. That obviously doesn't mean that the third or fourth in line aren't important!

let's see... my sister walked with our cousin. my VERY TALL bridesmaid walked with the tallest usher. maid of honor with best man. his sister with her fiance, then my last bridesmaid walked with his cousin.
So I guess first family relations then height. The only tradition that I know of is maid of honor with best man, other than that I think it's fair game.

I first matched the matron, maid, and the best men, then, I went by height. :)
