A flower girl is usually a young girl between the ages of 4 and 8 who has a special connection to the bride and groom. Perhaps she is a niece or cousin, or a family friend. She follows behind the bridesmaids with a basket of flowers, scattering them down the aisle.
There's no reason why you can't have two or even three flower girls – it will add to their confidence and ups the cuteness quotient. Avoid choosing someone who is too young.
Buy her a book about being a flower girl which will explain her role, and get her excited. Seat her parents on the aisle, near the front so that she sees them when she walks down the aisle. Ask a bridesmaid to be her "buddy". Most of all, don't be too nervous that she will make a mistake, guests will think it's cute.
Often, a flower girl is dressed in a mini-version of the bride's dress, or a white dress with a sash that matches the bridesmaid dresses. Choose a dress that ties into the look of the wedding. Make sure it's comfortable and not too long. If your flower girl doesn't like dresses, choose a pants outfit with the same level of formality as the bridesmaid dresses.
You can find our selection of flower girl dresses by Raylia Designs using the "Shop by Shortcuts".
