The Job

Everyone loves watching the flower head down the aisle scattering petals along the way. It can go many ways. Shy ones can fight heading into the ceremony, or try to get it over with quickly and make a dash for it! Some believe they are the center of attention and enjoy the long walk being in the spotlight, hamming it up as they go, meticulously placing each petal properly. You could have a happy-go-lucky flower girl that bounds down the aisle skipping with a smile and a song. The one guarantee is that it is sure to be a great photo opportunity.

This is a great area to add a personal touch to your wedding. If the ceremony is rustic, a cute wicker basket or metal pail works nicely. Also, a flower girl doesn't necessarily have to throw flowers. Some brides choose to have them carry a sign announcing their entrance. If you are having a beach wedding, let her drop colorful starfish or seashells along your path, or for a romantic theme let her toss heart-shaped confetti.

The Photos

A little girl staring in awe at a bride's dress hanging up before the wedding, or a picture of her getting ready like the "big girls" always tugs at a person's heartstrings.

If you have a full skirt on your wedding gown, a photo of your flower girl hiding underneath it is funny and cute. A flower girl's sweetness is sure to add whimsy throughout the day and the photographs.
