I’m going to let you in on a secret that even most wedding professionals don’t know. It’s actually a trick I’ve picked up in my years in the theatre, and it works every time.
If you want to have a fast, easy rehearsal of the processional and recessional (and those are the only hard parts of most weddings), don’t start with everyone ready to walk down the aisle. Instead, do it all in reverse.
Start with everyone standing where they will be for the ceremony. Make sure you like the looks of how the bridesmaids and groomsmen (or whoever is standing up) are placed.
From there, walk the recessional. Once everyone is at the starting place again, have them turn around and walk the processional. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is. Once everyone knows where to go, all they have to do is walk. And just about everyone can handle that part.
