bridal processions

Aisle-walking wedding parties

Bridal processions are the formal walks or marches that bring a bride to her wedding ceremony.

The term covers both the bride's entrance—typically down an aisle, often escorted by a parent—and the broader group of attendants who precede or follow her: The bridal procession began as the organist played the traditional march.

In some traditions, the procession includes bridesmaids, flower girls, and ring bearers walking in sequence.
