The brides maids and the grooms men walk in from two different areas and meet in the middle at one location. The groomsmen will have the flowers behind their back and when they meet the brides maids, the give it to her and then walk her to the front, bow and then go to his area.
The ring berrow, I want one to do the traditional thing and bring the ring. But I want the other one to run in and ring a bell announcing "the bride is coming, the bride is comming".
Also,,,not to give the mothers corasges, but give them roses..
I know it's my wedding and I do what I want. But I really want to know if these are good ideas or bad ideas. SoWhat do you think of all these things?

The only one of those ideas that I actually like is the idea of giving the mothers roses. The rest sounds a little tacky, but that's just my honest, personal opinion. Do whatever you want, most importantly, enjoy your day!

Sounds good, but don't give the bell ringer too loud of a bell. You know how kids are! LOL As for the groomsmen giving the bridesmaids the flowers, that may cause some concern with their wives or girlfriends if they have one. The guys will also feel a bit awkward walking with the flowers in their hands. Instead, you can have them sitting on a table near the groomsmen and they can each take one and walk over and hand it to the bridesmaid one at a time. That would make things a little less awkward for the groomsmen, unless they still have the issue of their significant other having problems. As for the roses to the mothers, tie a pretty ribbon around the stem. : )

i love it! i am all for individuality and think your ideas are rather appealing!
one note, i would give the second ring bearer a small bell! you've no idea how much those blasted things echo! lol so something smaller than a schoolyard bell would be advisable. perhaps a small cluster of two or three 'jingle' bells would be sufficient.
the groomsmen will be walking the mums down the aisle to their seats - right? so why not have them present the mums with their rose just before they head down the aisle to their seats.
also if you want to make a bit of a show, before the groomsmen hand the bouquets to the bridal attendants, have the girls make a bit of a show about straightening the fellas lapels - the girls could have the boutonnieres with them and they pin them on the fellas lapels and then the fellas give them their bouquets.
its nice to see a bride making an effort to ensure everyone in the wedding party has their special moment of attention and not making the day strictly about herself! however you decide to do it, good luck to you, happy wedding and have a wonderful life sweetie.
i just came back and read some of the answers after mine:
as for wives, or girlfriends, being upset about the groomsmen giving the bridal party their bouquet - all i can say is omg, grow up! they aren't groping each other in the middle of the church.
its a charming little scenario you've come up with sweetie and stick with it! i can not imagine any female guest getting upset over a staged presentation like a groomsman handing a bouquet to a bridesmaid.

It sounds like a really nice plan for your wedding. It should be more important what you think about it than what other people though. This will be a day you will hopefully look back happily at for the rest of your life so make it what you want it to be.
Remember white wedding dresses were a tradition that started with Queen Victoria not written in stone anywhere. Tradition should be what makes you happy not what has made other people happy. Ask only for opinions about the things you are willing to change not those you are afraid you should

I really do not like the idea of the announcement of the bride, everyone will be looking at you anyway and it makes me think of olden days when lepers had to ring a bell when they went anywhere so that people knew to get out of their way. Sorry but I really don't like that idea, and I am also not keen on the idea of the men bowing to the women, yes it is sweet and old fashioned manners, but a bit over the top. Sorry I do not mean that to sound nasty, it is simply my opinion.

I like everything except the second ring bearer running in with a bell saying "the bride is coming, the bride is coming." Way too much like Paul Revere with "The British are coming! The British are coming!" What about just having that child come in and announce, "Please stand for the entrance of the bride"?

I think the first one is lovely, with the attendants! We had our attendants walk in together as couples, as well, before my husband and I walked in together.
Not sure about the ring bearer announcing the bride...
The idea of roses is nice for the moms, but they will have nowhere to put them. A corsage they will wear all day.

That sounds really pretty. When i got married my bridesmaid walked down the stairs and met the best man, so i kinda can see the idea working. The boy with the bell sounds adorable, you might want to have him practice though so hes not screaming and banging the bell, make it more weddingish. I dont think it matters whether you give the mothers roses/ corsages/ or anything at all. It sounds very well planned and i think its a good idea. too bad i already got married, id have to steal your idea.

First, none of your ideas are new. I've been to plenty of weddings where thee bridesmaids and groomsmen didn't want down together but rather met up. The ring BEARER thing isn't new either. the one ringing the bell is called the bell ringer and can be a boy/girl. I'm also planning to do the rose thing but I'll have a "rose bearer" who will bring the roses down the aisle with the flower girls and present the roses to the mothers.

the thing with the bridesmaids and groomsmen is cute, but from an experienced wedding go-er, i can tell you that as a guest i would care less and not really pay attention to that b/c i just want to see the bride. as far as the bell thing...well...i don't know, seems a bit odd to me, since the wedding march is what is supposed to anounce that you are coming in. but it is your day, and your wedding, but talk to the groom first. :)
