Q – I’m working on my wedding flowers and have two flower girls for my wedding. One girl (3 years old) will be carrying a sign that says “here comes the bride.”
I’m not sure what to have the other girl (6 years old) carry. I do not want her to drop flower petals.
The ceremony décor and reception centerpieces are lanterns, and I was thinking maybe she could carry a lantern with a flameless candle (but I’m concerned that it could break or the candle won’t stay in place).
I handmade all of my flowers out of satin fabric so I guess I could do a mini bouquet but I don’t want her to match the bridesmaids either! Any thoughts?
A – A mini bouquet is a cute idea, as it is scaled down for smaller hands, and it lets the flower girl feel like one of the “big girls” in the wedding party.
Other options you can try are:
– Colorful pinwheels
– Ring a bell
– Balloons
– Ribbon wands
– Floral pomanders aka kissing balls (my favorite!)
– Something seasonal (a pine bough if in winter, for example)
– A tambourine or kazoo if your ceremony will heavily feature music
Hearts, Joy, Love!
