Flower Girls
It’s your wedding, and among the many many decisions you'll need to make is ... do we have flower girls? Well, first of all remember, it's your wedding so you can do whoever you want!
Flower girls walk up the aisle in front of the bride carrying a posy of flowers and are usually between 5 and 10 years old. You may wish to pick girls from both families and even involve the children of friends - there are no "rules".
If you do choose to have them in the bridal party you will need to give them plenty of time to plan and get used to the idea. They'll certainly need to be dressed for the part, and you'll probably want to take them all out to find their fairy girl dresses. You'll want to choose outfits that compliment the bride's wedding dress, but who pays for the flower girl dresses themselves? Well, depending on your budget, you could choose to pay for all dresses and accessories, or perhaps ask the parents of the girls to buy and pay for the shoes and other accessories themselves.
So now you've decided to have them, where do you get their outfits from? The first place to look is probably the retailer where you are buying the bride's wedding dress at as they may be able to provide bridesmaid's and flower girls dresses too. Having them all individually made may be too much for your budget, so shop around to find off the peg flowergirl dresses or search online for competitive prices. You may also decide to hire the dresses too.
You will also need to budget for gifts for the young attendances as a thank you present or all of their hard work. Traditionally you would give the girls personalized jewellery, which can be engraved to make a special gift memento.
