The
entrance of the bride is the ceremony’s first
emotional high point. The seating of VIPs, the entrance
of the bridal party and the groom, all take place before
her. If an aisle runner is to be used, it is deployed
now, prior to the entrance of the ring bearer and a
flower girl who is dropping petals (and they are the
only ones who should walk on an aisle runner before
a bride!). All of this accentuates her entrance, for
wedding ceremonies are female centric events.
How the bride enters,
and with whom, are very important decisions for her
(and her alone).

Her
entrance may be accompanied by:
Her Father
Her Father and Stepfather
Her Father and Mother
Her Children
Her Close Friend(s) in lieu of absent or deceased family members.
Her Groom. In other words
the couple walks down the aisle together.
Unescorted (which is a wonderful
statement of equality).
A bride's entrance can be
an opportunity to show gratitude toward someone very special
in her life by giving them the honor of escorting her down
the aisle.
There are no rules on this-
so follow your heart.
