Adorable Flower Girls
One of the cutest parts of any wedding is the flower girl. Their sweetness, enthusiasm, and unpredictable nature make flower girls absolutely charming. When it comes to flower girls, the more the merrier!
Flower girls should be between the ages of about two and nine years old. Their role in the wedding, besides being adorable, is to precede the bride up the aisle. Traditionally, we think of flower girls as scattering rose petals in front of the bride's path. The idea was that the bride's life would be happy and filled with flowers. However, if your ceremony is indoors, the church or venue may not permit petals or confetti to be dropped on the floor, so be sure to check in advance.
There are some other very lovely alternatives to scattered petals. The flower girl could carry a beautifully decorated white basket, either filled with rose petals (to carry, not toss), or flowers. For a slightly older flower girl, you could give her a floral pomander to carry down the aisle. Pomanders are flower covered round balls hanging from pretty ribbons. They also look very romantic suspended from trees at a outdoor wedding.
Another nice option for a flower girl is to give her a miniature replica of your bouquet. This is what I did at my wedding, and it was very easy for the flower girl to manage, even though she was only two and a half years old. A little bouquet can also be a fun idea for an older flower girl, who may feel honored to carry something similar to the adults in the wedding.
In some families, there are quite a few young relations that the bride and groom would like to include in the wedding. If that is true for you, by all means, invite them all to be flower girls. A very sweet idea is to have each flower girl carry a single long-stemmed flower (such as a rose) down the aisle. When the bride arrives at the altar, each little girls hands her a flower, which the bride holds as an arm bouquet. It is a very touching part of the ceremony.
The children in a wedding usually take their jobs very seriously. Besides the bride, the flower girl is often the most excited participant in the wedding. Show the little ones in your wedding how much you appreciate their enthusiasm by including them in as many of the pre-wedding festivities as possible. Flower girls love to attend bridal showers, bridesmaids' luncheons, and rehearsal dinners. Treat them to special flower girl gifts. Wonderful flower girl gifts include silver lockets, tiny pearl necklaces, and charm bracelets. As part of the present, you could also give her one of the great books that are written about flower girls. This would be especially nice for a shy little girl who is nervous about what to expect at the wedding.
Little girls are very romantic. They love to get all dolled up in a twirly party dress and wear a wreath of flowers. If you choose to have a flower girl at your wedding, not only will she be a charming part of your day, but you will be giving her a very special memory. When she grows up, your flower girl may even decide to have a wedding just like yours.
