It's not inappropriate at all! In fact I think it would be touching, she is still a parent to give you away. I'm sure she'll be very honored and blessed. There is absolutely no reason not to have her walk you down the aisle.
You might want to think about what your mother will say when the minister asks "Who gives this person in marriage?" The father usually says "Her mother and I." So she might want to pay tribute to your father by saying something like "Her father, in spirit, and I."
God bless, it's very emtional.

Even if he were still alive, there would be nothing wrong with your Mom (or both) walking you down the isle. Other substitutes might be an older sibiling or if you really want a man (archaic notion IMO) then an uncle would do well. Or you could just walk alone.
It's your wedding, do what you want. Break from tradition and make it your own as much as you can stand - but whatever makes you and your groom happy since it's your day.
For what it's worth, instead of having a best man, my sister was my honor attendant.

Oh not at all! I think that would be very touching. My father is also deceased and the decision about who to give me away at my upcoming wedding was a hard one.
My mother would have been a tough choice but I felt it might be too emotional for her to step in and take the role of my dad. So I asked a very close uncle. But having your mother give you away is very touching and so very appropriate, particularly if you and your mom are close.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I'm sure it will be a beautiful moment for both of you :o)

I think it will be wonderful. I've been to a wedding where the mom walked the bride down the aisle as the father was deceased. It will be a beautiful moment. Plus, it's your day...make it special for you and your groom.

No not at all, I think that is very sweet. Your Father walking you down the isle is a symbol of he and your mother giving you away. Since he passed away, I think it is perfectly fine that your mother would.
And congratulations on your marriage, I wish you all the best!
God Bless You
Hope I helped

Not at all! Actually I have been to three weddings recently where both parents walked the bride down the isle.

Not at all! When i got married last time(i am divorced) I had my mom and dad both walk me down the aisle. I feel like that is how it should be because you are leaving you mother and father, not just your father. If you are not comfortable with her walking you down, if you have a brother, ask him to do it. Its your wedding, do whatever makes you happy!

I have been to weddings where mothers/sons/daughters walked the bride down the isle. I think your mother would be very proud and honored to do so. God bless!

my father died a couple of years ago and I just think that you mother is the obvious choice, it is your wedding after all.
I don't know what the relationship between you and your father was but a nice thing to do to still have him part of the ceremony is to ring a bell in remembrance. Just a thought.
