walking down isle
I have a matron and a maid of honor who goes down the isle first? Also do the flowergirl and ring bearer go before them or after them?

Re: walking down isle
I also have a maid and matron - they're both of my sisters. I hate to say this, but I am much closer with the matron of honor. so she is walking down the aisle right before me.

Re: walking down isle
The BM's go first.

Then the RB
Then the FG

Re: walking down isle
This came from this site.
The brides mom goes down with a brother or another close male, then the grooms parents, then grandparents, important relatives, godparents, people like that. Then its the bridesmaids partnered up with groomsmen. Then comes the maid of honor, flower girl, then you and your dad

Re: walking down isle
I did some research for you guys as I have both a maid and a matron too. Personally, they are both of equal importance in my life and they know it. I won't pick one above the other so I will let whoever coordinates the wedding that day decide for me. Though I tend to think they will place the MAID first before the matron.
After all other members of the bridal part walk down:
The bridesmaids walk down the aisle(either escorted or unescorted.)
The maid of honor/matron of honor walks down the aisle. (escorted or unescorted by the best man)
The ring bearer walks down the aisle.
The flower girl walks down the aisle. (Many times the flower girl and ring bearer will walk together)
The father/and or mother of the bride escorts the bride down aisle.
Hope this helps.
I am having everyone walk alone except the small children. They will pair up for the recessional.

Re: walking down isle
I had a matron and maid as well.
The only choosing point was based on the height of the Best Man, actually. My BIL (the Best Man) is rather short, so I had him walk with the matron of honor who is also somewhat short. I had a GM escort the maid of honor who is taller, and ordered the processional accordingly. Therefore, Matron ended up walking after Maid just because the Best Man walked last of the GMs, with Maid's escort walking just before the Best Man (Jewish Processional). I made certain that everyone understood that there was both a Maid and Matron of Honor, because I wanted them both to get their attention.

Re: walking down isle
I think I'm going to do the flower girl/ring bearer, matron then the maid. I want to make sure my nephew will walk down and if I do it this way he uncle will be in front of him and his mother behind him.

Re: walking down isle
Hi I am pretty sure it is the bridal party, then the RB and FG then your MOH then you MOH then you. Now to decide which MOH walks down first, if neither of them were married, who would have been your MOH? That is who walks right before you.

I thought the brides mom goes down before the bridal party. I thought it was the grooms parents, the grandparents, important relatives than the MOB, because that means that the bride is ready...then the bridal party?

Re: walking down isle
My cousing had both too. She had the maid walk before the matron.......mainly because her sister was the matron and she wanted her sister to walk down the aisle right before her. I'm not really sure if there is a right way.
I ring bearer and flower girl usually go after the MOH before the bride.
