Brides spend hours and hours deciding on flowers, dresses, colors, but I am amazed at the little time or thought that is put into the actual ceremony. The “who will walk who” down the aisle, or the “who will be seated where” for the ceremony plan.
Traditionally, there is an exact plan of how all the processional and seating is done. If it is done correctly, it will flow like a well rehearsed ballet. It is actually quite beautiful to watch. It’s one of my favorite parts of the wedding. Seeing handsome groomsmen in their elegant tuxes escorting a mother or grandmother to or from her seat or the flow of the wedding party gliding down the aisle, it literally brings a tear to my eye, when done correctly. If done incorrectly, it can quickly turn into one big embarassing mess.
This plan for getting a wedding party down the aisle has been refined from generations of use. Each element not only looks beautiful, but works. Each element has a reason. That is what we are going to discuss over the next few days, the how’s and why’s of getting your wedding party down the aisle.
Yes, I understand that you’re not a “traditional” kind of bride and you want to put your own stamp on your wedding. That’s great. But before you go changing tradition, let’s talk about how things are done and why.
Tomorrow we will talk about the processional and how it works.
