Beth - Ideally, the two of you would walk together unless he is the best man and you are a regular bridesmaid; the maid of honor would walk with him in that position, or vice versa if you were maid of honor. If you're just "regular" attendants you should walk together, and you can talk to you brother about his (or his fiance's) reasons for not having you walk together. Some couples choose to have attendants line up by height, for example, which may be the reason for the change. All told, you can ask why but remember the ceremony will last only 20-30 minutes or so and the walking even less; as long as you can be with your husband at the reception and dancing, it may not be worth being upset about the order of the processional. Best wishes!

My husband and I are both in my brother's wedding as bridesmaid & groomsman but we are not currently "scheduled" to walk down the aisle to gether. Is there some ettiquette reason for this or what? I'd like to walk down with my husband and not some other guy. Just wondering.

The bridesmaids should take whichever arm of the groomsmen is suitable relative to where they will stand during the ceremony, which is on the same side as the bride. A bride is customarily on the groom's left (so his right hand would be free to defend her in medieval times), so the bridesmaids would also be on the left, but if the order is reversed for everyone it's not a grave breach of propriety, so long as it's consistent.

The groomsmen are walking the bridesmaids down the aisle. Which arm of the bridesmaids should they take?

Carolyn - That's true, the presence of the Flower Girl generally "announces" that the bride is next. Some couple don't have her scatter petals, however; they may already have petals down or prefer her to carry a kissing ball or small bouquet.

the flower girl should come down right before the bride, so she covers her path with flower petals, untouched by any other feet. hehe
