question about the bridesmaids?

Question

For the bridesmaids i was wondering if it would be wrong to have them wear corsages instead of carrying a boquet. Simply because im thinking of having them walk down the aisle WITH the groomsmen instead of the groomsmen being there. i am also thinking of having my fiancee be escorted down the aisle by his mother. as in...Groom/mother then all the bridesmaids and groomsmen and then me escorted by my father.

would this be alright?

Answer 1

There is no set rule on bridesmaids carrying flowers or how they should process. In some weddings, the groom and his attendants are already at the alter when the bride's attendants process down the aisle in single file. In other weddings, only the groom and the best man are already at the alter when the groomsmen and bridesmaids process together (either side by side or arm in arm).

As for the flowers, bridesmaids can still hold small bouquets and process with the groomsmen. They could carry a single stemmed flower or small arrangments (hand tied or nosegay). But if you prefer they wear corsages instead of carrying a bouquet, that is fine as well. You should plan your wedding according to how you and your fiance's wishes and not the way others think it should be done.

I think it's fine if you would like to have your fiance escorted down the aisle by his mother (in Jewish custom the parents escort the groom), then followed by your attendants, and you and your father.

I think its a good idea, its your day, do what will make you happy. My bridesmaids were escorted down by the groomsmen and they carried small bouquets, also my husband was escorted down by both his parents, but I have been to wedding where the bridesmaids walked down alone, or they were all already at the altar prior to bride talking the walk down. Whatever makes you happy on your special and important day. Congrats!

Answer 3

Depending on where your getting married...in a church the traditional way is to have the groom and best man at the alter waiting for you. The groomsmen and bridesmaids walk in together but NOT arm in arm. They walk side by side . The only two people walking in arm in arm is the father of the bride with the bride!! On the way out ... the couples go out arm in arm with eachother just like the groom and bride. The bouquet does have to be large and cumbersome. The mothers and grandmothers should be the ones with the corsages.

Answer 4

You could, but it wouldn't look right in my opinion, and I do hope you are referring to a wrist corsage either way because a sholder one pinned onto a nice dress would be destracting. Its really not hard to carry a bouquet while being escorted, Ive done it lots of times! (as a bridesmaid) you can have the florist to really small bouquets, maybe just 3 gerbera daisies, or a tiny clutch of 5-6 roses, nothin major, but small is possible-mine are gonna be really small personally! you can do the corsages, its your wedding and you do what you want to, but I don't think you should rule bouquets out quite yet!

Answer 5

My friend's wedding last August was this way. You can do corsages if you'd like to (it is your wedding) but you could still have them carry bouquets. As long as they are small, a bridesmaid can be escorted by a groomsman and carry a bouquet.

Answer 6

i think it's best to have them carrying a bouquet.corsages are best for principal sponsors. my wedding then, had the florist arrange a wonderful small flower bouquet that the bridesmaid wore as a bracelet. i had them walked with the grooms men. my husband was escorted by both of his parents like me.

best regards

Answer 7

It's your wedding and you can do anything you want at it - I'm having the groomsmen in my wedding walk the bridesmaids also...

Answer 8

Sounds like a solution to the whole "being sold off and given away" problem I have with being walked down the aisle.

Answer 9

Its your wedding and you should have it exactly the way you want it.

Good Luck.
