Bridal Party Order

bridal_party_gallery   With the wedding almost a month away there are a lot of small decisions that still need to be made. One of these is the bridal party order. When I think about all my bridesmaids it is hard to put them in order of importance. I have 6 bridesmaids and all of them have been or are becoming a major part of my life.

I have two sisters, which I am very close to so therefore I have a matron of honor and a maid of honor. I also have a 2 future sister in laws and also 2 of my closest friends from over the years. My fiancé on the other hand has one brother, which is his best man, a future brother in law, 3 close friends and a cousin.

We decided that instead of putting everyone in order of importance (exception being the maid/matron of honor and best man that we would do our bridal party by height. We felt everyone is of equal importance to us and we did not want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Our bridal party order goes from the groomsmen tallest to shortest and the bridesmaids are lined up accordingly.

If you are trying to choose the order of your bridal party there are many things to consider:

1. You can do it by height - short to tall or vice versa

2. You can do it in order of importance - family vs. friends (considering height or not)

3. You can do it in order of importance not considering family or friends or height

As the bride it is all up to you! Good Luck!!!
