\"\"

Determining the order in which the bridesmaids walk down the aisle depends on factors such as height and your relationship with each member of the bridal party. It is usually a good idea for the Maid of Honor, who is either a relation or best friend, to walk down the aisle first or last. You can also have the tallest member of the bridal party go first so the shortest member is last, or vice versa. If you are still having trouble, arrange the walk by age or how close each member is to you. Don\u2019t worry too much about hurt feelings–after all, everyone is in your bridal party for a reason! Go with what looks best when everyone is standing at the altar or other ceremony \u201cdestination.\u201d No one can argue with that, and it saves a lot of time and aggravation. Just keep the Maid of Honor close to your during the ceremony, and remember that six is the general bridal party limit. More than that and it will look like wedding fleet instead of a wedding party!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
