Which is better: having the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen walk in together at the start of the ceremony as couples, or having them walk in separately?
A. There is no “right” or “wrong” answer here. A simple answer is for the Bride to ask her Bridesmaids which they would prefer. Probably 90% will say they prefer to enter and exit as couples. Here are some other points to consider. First of all, many people in the bridal party are nervous about walking down an aisle by themselves (perhaps being concerned they might trip and look foolish), and welcome the opportunity to hold someone’s arm. This is especially true if the ceremony is outside on something like a stone walkway where high heels can slip, or on grass where high heels can sink in. Second, when the Bridesmaids come down the aisle individually instead of being escorted by the Groomsmen, it can look a bit like a “Miss America” pageant. Nothing should take away from this being the Bride’s day, and having her alone on “center stage.” Third, a wedding is about a couple coming together, and there is a symmetry to having the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen walk in and walk out as couples.
