What, When, Which side?

Many couples have professionals pinning the flowers on, and lining everyone up, but for the do it yourselfers and smaller less structured weddings this is a real question.
When you are looking down the aisle at where the ceremony will take place, the groom and groomsmen are usually to the right and the bride and her ladies to the left.
These are the sides people are on when they enter. Boys to the right, girls to the left.
The way the guys will be lined up in order to see their boutonnieres they should be on the left lapel.
Wrist corsages for mom and grandma will look best on the left wrist so they may take the arm of their escort unencumbered.
Switching it later if they are left handed and don't want to smell roses with every fork full of food is perfect.
When the Bride enters practicality is always important. Fullness of the dress and length of the train is something to consider here. If there is limited space between the front row and the place where the couple will stand, putting the Father of the Bride on the Left, closer to his seat will lessen the worry of him stepping on the dress after the hand off. If this is not a concern I recommend regular boy / girl sides.
I know it's not rocket science, but keeping you informed and comfortable with every aspect of the day makes for less stress.
Happy planning!
