Fun Ideas For Flower Girls

Flower girls sprinkle the aisle with petals before the bride makes her entrance. And, in there adorable white dresses, sometimes even steal the show. But, they’re not just a part of traditional weddings to make the guests say ‘aww’ as they walk down the aisle; they actually signify the bride losing her innocence.

Though we have seen an increase in fur-babies making their way down the aisle; often with flower wreaths wrapped around their necks; it is still safe to say the majority of flower girls continue to be young ladies who are related to or are close with the couple. A flower girl is typically between three and ten years old, but someone younger or older can certainly fit right in. We’ve seen little ones, too small to walk, being wheeled down the aisle in wagons and they are just too cute for words.
