Who does the mother of the bride usually walk down the aisle with?

In many UK weddings, the mother of the bride walks down the aisle just before the bride, often with a son, a brother, or another close relative. If the father of the bride is escorting the bride, the mother may walk with a different family member or with her own partner. Some couples choose to have both parents escort the bride, in which case the mother of the bride may walk with the father of the bride, and then they both hand the bride over. Others prefer the mother to walk alone, especially if she is the only parent attending.

The key is to make the choice that feels right for your family. You might also consider having her walk with the groom's mother, or with a grandparent. There is no legal requirement about who walks with whom, so you are free to decide. Talk to your mother and your wedding party about what feels comfortable. The important thing is that everyone feels included and at ease, and that the order of the processional is clear to the ushers so guests know when to stand.
