Okay bees, I’m going to try and explain as best as I can so I can figure this out.
I know who needs to come down the aisle in order now, but we have a problem concerning height.
I know that the bridesmaids and groomsmen come down with each other first, then the Maid/Matron of Honor and Best man, but at first we didn’t have a best man or Maid/Matron of Honor, and now we do. At first we were going to do it accordning to height (picture all of us standing up there) it would be me and my Fiance, then shortest to tallest. But now that we picked our Maid/Matron of Honor and Best man, the height is all screwed up.
My Maid/Matron of Honor is the shortest, so the height works out on my side, me, my Maid/Matron of Honor, then 2 bridesmaids, all shortest to tallest. But the best man is literally 6’5″ so he sticks out like a sore thumb. So now, that screws everything up bc on my FI’s side, its going to be tallest to shortest.
What do we do now? If my Maid/Matron of Honor and the best man walk together, its going to be the shortest girl with the tallest guy. And for pictures, my side is going to be shortest to tallest, and his will be tallest to shortest. And of course we want the Maid/Matron of Honor and best man to be beside of us.
So does anyone know how to fix this? haha If anyone could give me some tips or advice, or let me know that this would look okay in poictures, then that would be great.

I’ve never understood why people arrange their Bridal Party by height. I’ve been in/attended boat loads of weddings and never once were we/they arranged by height. I get that from a visual standpoint it may look better but seriously, it’s really not that big of a deal. Arrange your Bridal Party the way you want them to stand, regardless of how tall or short they are.

@agirlwithdreams7: Your Maid/Matron of Honor and Best Man are the exception to this still do it shortest to tallest. Your photographer will be able to help you with the formal shots as well though.

@MrsB-to-B: Okay thanks! I will just do that then, and I figured that since my Maid/Matron of Honor is so short and would have difficulty walking with the best man, they could just come down the aisle separately. 🙂

@agirlwithdreams7: Welcome! I’m actually having my guys and girls walk separately anyway. Best Man will come out with groomie and the minister and the guys will walk down the aisle one at a time and then the girls will walk down one at a time. Since you don’t have a HUGE wedding party (I don’t either that’s why I’m doing it that way) I don’t think it would eat up time having them walk separately. Now if you had like 20 people in the party then I might double up but I think with your number I’d send them down each on their own. Good luck girl!

@MrsB-to-Be: Okay, well that’s also another option 🙂 I might end up doing that, we only have 3 people each so I don’t think that would be too bad. 🙂 thanks for the idea!!!
