Question
This is my first wedding to direct.  It is small but still want to follow proper wedding etiquette.  I need help with the basics such as which arm of the escort do the bridesmaids, mothers, etc. enter on., what order do they enter, and any other basic things that will make this go smoothly.
Thank you.

Answer
Brides maids, then the bride and grooms best friend then the parents or the mother of the groom with the groom,  then after a couple of minutes then the children with the rings and the parents or the father of the bride with the bride.
Usually the men are on the right hand side and the women on the left.
At the end of the wedding, they leave in the same order, first the brides maids and the newlyweds at the end where they get rice thrown at them.
