Following are the order of the processional and recessionals for a non-Jewish ceremony, and for the Jewish ceremony.
The "processional" is when the Bridal Party enters into the ceremony space, whether church or elsewhere.
The "recessional" is when the Bridal Party leaves the ceremony space.
This is the common processional for a Catholic (first to last) ceremony:
The Groom, Best Man, Groomsmen and Officiant usually proceed to the altar first.
Mother of the Groom/Father of the Groom
Mother of the Bride: Always escorted by someone (usually an usher)
Bridesmaids (However many of them) (Solo)
Maid/Matron of Honor (Solo)
If having a runner-pulled by the groomsmen/ushers
Flower girls and ring-bearers (together or separate)
Bride escorted by Father of the Bride/brother, etc.
Mother of the Groom/Father of the Groom

When the ceremony is over, the Bride and Groom walk out first, then the Maid/Matron of Honor and Best Man, then the bridesmaids and groomsmen paired up and finally the parents of each.
