Flower Girls

A sweet addition to any wedding is a flower girl. Flower girls are usually a young girl under the age of 10.  It's customary to select a family member, such as a sister, niece, or cousin of either the bride, groom, or both. You can also choose the daughter of a friend. Flower girls add a cute and often funny element to your sentimental occasion.  The number of flower girls usually ranges from one to three depending on your family structure.  For girls over the age of 10, other options for participating in the wedding include junior bridesmaids or bell ringers.  The role of the flower girl(s) is to walk down the aisle after the bridesmaids and before the bride while dropping flower petals (real or fake) along the way.  Children often become nervous, so making sure they practice is vital to avoid a case of stage fright.  It's also a good idea to have her parent(s) sit on the front row so she has the option to sit with them, if needed.  Another option is to assign a specific bridesmaid for her to stand next to during the ceremony, preferably someone she knows.  A popular trend for smaller flower girls is to be pulled in a decorated wagon by an older flower girl.
