Flower girl goes down aisle just before the bride, and after the other attendants.

That it's a Catholic wedding has no bearing on this. The flower girl goes down the aisle right before the bride.

Answer 3

The flower girl and the ring bearer go down the aisle after the attendents and before the bride I am having a catholic ceremony.

Answer 4

she is the last one to walk before the bride. after she walks, they'll close the doors, play your prosessional music, open the doors and out you come! i found this article on theknot.com, it's a lil' different.



Here's the lowdown on who sits where and who walks when at a Catholic wedding.

TAKING SIDES
In Catholic ceremonies, the bride's side makes up the left side of the church and the groom's side fills the right, when looking from back to front. The bride's mother is always seated last (the groom's mother is seated just before her). The seating of the bride's mother signals that the ceremony is starting. Usually, brothers of the bride and groom seat their respective mothers; the head usher can do this if the brothers are in the wedding party, or a brother can seat his mother and then take his place with the other groomsmen. If there is no male sibling in your family, ask your mom whom she'd like to escort her down the aisle.

Ushers may roll out an aisle runner after the bride's mother takes her seat. Traditionally the runner was believed to protect the couple from evil spirits lurking in the floorboards. A red runner connotes honor, while a white runner represents a pure path.

THE CATHOLIC PROCESSION
For a Catholic ceremony, the wedding party enters in this order:


The priest, groom, and best man wait at the altar.

Groomsmen (who walk in from the side or accompanying bridesmaids)

Bridesmaids (starting with the attendant who will stand farthest from the bride -- typically the tallest)

Ring bearer and/or flower girl (child attendants can be seated with their parents once they reach the front)

Honor attendant(s)

The bride, walking to the left of her father or another close male family member. In a Catholic procession, the bride is not given away by her father; he simply accompanies her to the altar.

Or, the priest can welcome the bride and groom at the church entrance. In this instance, the priest may lead the couple and their families from the entrance to the altar, symbolizing family unity.

THE CATHOLIC RECESSIONAL
After the ceremony, the procession is reversed, and the men escort the women in this order:


Bride and groom (bride at groom's left)

Flower girl and ring bearer (optional)

Honor attendants (maid/matron of honor and best man)

Bridesmaids and groomsmen, in pairs

Parents leave the pews directly after the wedding party recesses, followed by the congregation.

Answer 5

There are several different times that the flower girl proceeds down the aisle.....usually it is right after the bridesmaids, and before the maid of honor. If you don't have a wedding consultant, many churches have "Alter Guilds" which help the Priest/Minister with the progression of the wedding party at the rehearsal. Best wishes with much happiness.....relax and have a glass of wine.

Answer 6

Kind of up in the air. But most weddings (I'm Catholic btw) have them coming down the aisle with the Ring Bearer before the groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Answer 7

before the bride does. Also, she can walk with the ring bearer or alone. My wedding my daughter was the flower girl and she walked alone 1/2 way and then met the ring bearer, my step son in the middle and they finished walking the rest of the way together. Congrats!!

Answer 8

flower girl is last, just before bride. she sprinkles the flowers down the aisle for the bride to walk through.

Answer 9

She comes dowm the aisle right before the Bride. That way, while everyone is oohing and aahing how cute she is the bride can adjust her dress veil etc. without anyone noticing.

Answer 10

The flower girl comes in right before the bride by herself or with other flowergirls or she can walk in together with the ring bearer. Either way is acceptable.
