The family of the bride and groom should be on their respective sides.
The first row (the one near the front) should include the immediate family.
The second row grandparents and other such near relations. Additional
close family members should be seated in the next two rows back. If
parents are divorced, they should not be seated together unless they agree
to that particular seating arrangement.
In terms of the rest of the guests, there is a tradition that the bride's
family and friends should sit on one side and the groom's family and
friends should sit on the other side. However, it is not wise to follow
this tradition if there are a large number of guests from one side and a
few from the other. One way to handle this is to seat family on their
appropriate sides and to not ask other guests whether they are with the
bride or the groom. This ensures an even distribution of seating at the
ceremony location.
Generally, people will want to take photographs during the ceremony.
Obviously, you will want to check with your officiant to make sure that
photography is permitted in this location. Many people have a photographer
that takes pictures during the ceremony.
The bride should walk down the aisle with her father on her right. She
should take her father's left arm and slowly walk from the back of the
church or location to the front. The groom and attendant groomsman should
be standing in the front on the right side (facing the front of the
ceremony).
In general the mothers of the bride and groom should wear dresses of the
same length and degree of formality. The mother should also generally
consult with each other and with the bride before selecting a dress. The
dress should also match the overall styles of the ceremony and the reception.
