Flower 'girl' ladies

I think classic flower girl baskets would look odd but regular sized baskets will be fine..

trust me, no one will be looking at what they're holding

its a cute idea

Grandmothers are not flower girls. These are grown women who need to be recognized with honor and dignity. Reinstate the 4 year old as flower girl. Have a babysitter for her if you don't want kids at the reception.

They can hold bouquets

@nancyd.. this is a great way to incorporate our grandmothers into the wedding. I was asking for advice on what they can hold, not an opinion on if they should be flower girls.

Oh dear Nancy D surprised she didn't mention that your grandmothers need to be in exact matching dresses when they walk down the aisle and please don't have any fondant on your cake.

On another note, you don't absolutely have to have flower girls. We are not having any. Are you opposed to having the grandmothers as MOHs? If you are opposed to that. I'd just have them walk down with a traditional bouquet.

@FutureMrsHahn: They shouldn't be flower girls. Period.

Bouquets. I'm not sure I'd have them carry baskets, I agree it's kind of childish for grandma's.

@futuremrs. I will make note on the fondent and matching dresses.. hahaha. I personally don't want them as MOHs. They both loved the idea that they going to be apart of our day. And the pics I've seen online of this are amazing. Maybe just simple flower bouquets.. my BM have calla lilies as their flowers...do you recommend the same or different from the BP?

Different from bouquets to distinguish them from the BMs

Ick, not a fan of this trend at all. That may be an unpopular opinion, but there you go.

If you want to honor them, I'd just have them walk down the aisle and have a seat in the front row.

They can carry cascading bouquets, I personally don't like grandparents being referred to as Flower Girls, but I think its very sweet of you to incorporate them. You should still use your niece. We're having a somewhat child free wedding, but our niece and my cousin are going to be there. I feel like bridal party children are the only children who should never count towards child free weddings.

@stargazerlily24 .. I wish I could use her, i really do, but there is family drama involved with this... partially why we are having a child free wedding. Edit: and my brother probably will.not come to my wedding, it's hard to count on people that.more than likely will no show.

A friend of mine who's daughter was recently married had her grandma and a great aunt as flowers girls. They were both escorted down the aisle in their wheelchairs holding their baskets and dropping flower petals. I saw the pics and video and it was adorable! The guests seemed to love it based on the smiles I saw. From what I've been told the ladies were honored and excited to be flower girls and really got a kick out it.

I would ask your grandmas if they have any ideas. Grandmothers usually do, and if they are the type of grandmothers that would enjoy being flower girls, I imagine they have some idea of what they think would be a good way to do that. It definitely wouldn't work with my grandmas. They would be highly offended if I asked them to play that role, but I know some grandmothers who would absolutely love it!

I love this idea!! Someone else posted they were doing it and I just love it. I think a bouquet, different from the others but same color scheme I guess would look great. Honestly, tears to my eyes at the thought. They haven't walked down an isle in so long that I bet they are so excited!!

I think if you want to do this and the grandmas like the idea, then do it.

As far as what they're actually holding, I'd see if they have any ideas. My grandma is super crafty and Would probably think of something I didn't. You could still use a basket, though. Maybe just make it look less little girly.

I think this could be sweet

I think this is so cute! My Grandma would have LOVED it! Ask them what they want. They might like the idea of a basket.
