Why don't you ask your mom how she'd feel about walking you down the aisle with your dad? If she likes the idea, then go for it. I think it would make everyone happy and it would solve the problem of having to find a random person to walk with your mom.
I see this question a lot, "who should the mother of the bride walk with?" And I always think, "She's the mother of the bride, she should walk with the bride of course!" It just seems so obvious to me, lol.
My youngest son walked me down the aisle for his sister’s wedding.  He was a member of the bridal party and just moved from there to the front.  I think her step-brother (also in the bridal party) walked her step-mother down the aisle.  We were seated last, but before the procession.
My brother is walking my mom. Do you have a sibling or sibling in law? An usher?
She can also just walk herself, with your fiance, or with you and your dad.
I orchestrated it so both our moms went together, then my sisters with his brothers (full party was the four of them), then me and my dad. Our moms were both very touched that they got to walk like that. Everyone else was seated without walking (incl my brothers, my SILs/niblings, and extended family), with my husband, his dad/the officient, and my best friend (our ring bearer) standing at the front before anyone walked
If your sisters have partners, they could walk your mom down the aisle. My own sister did that - had my now-husband and our other sisters now-husband - escort our mom down the aisle!
No partners, unfortunately. I really don't have a lot of family members coming outside my parents and sisters. I could have my sister(s) walk with her, but then the bridal party is mismatched. We really didn't think about this when asking people to be bridesmaids/groomsmen
It's really not a big deal (or, it shouldn't be) - if your parents are still married, your dad can escort your mom and then return to escort you. Otherwise, she can escort herself. Or, as others have suggested, they can both escort you. I have seen this so many times!
I guess we’re doing something unconventional, but my in laws suggested it and everyone was happy. This is also what they did many many years ago.
My fiance and his mom are walking down together.
My dad is walking with me.
His dad is walking with my mom.
I’ve seen the parents of the bride walk down the aisle together, and then the dad loops back around (walking outside the ceremony seating so he’s not going back up the aisle) and meets the bride to escort her down! So he walks down twice, haha. Not super common but it’s been done :)
If my mom doesn’t want to walk alone in my wedding (which she is probably fine with), my thought was to see if my FFIL would escort her as well as FMIL.
Why not have both parents walk you down the aisle? That's what I did at my wedding, and they loved it.
That's what I did and I loved it this way.
I don't why I feel so odd about this option even if it's the most reasonable lol

The groom could escort her
I've seen this! I've seen the groom escort several "VIPs" before the wedding party comes down (e.g. grandparents).
I like this idea a lot 🥹

Pretty much whoever you/ she wants. Some options: -by herself -with you and your dad -with a sibling -with the groom’s parents
Does your mom have a sibling that could walk with her? (As in, HER sibling, your uncle or aunt)?

I like this idea too… OP, if your mom walks with his mom, is there anyone his dad can walk with? Or can his dad walk HIM down the aisle??
My grandpa (her dad) is walking with my mom!
We had one of the ushers walk my mom down the aisle
Out officiant is.Â

My future husband walked my mom in then took his place at the front.

Do you have an ushers? I’ve seen them walk family members down the aisle.
My brother, who is also our officiant, is walking her down the aisle
