Flower girl?

Soooo this definitely should’ve been something I thought of sooner but I completely spaced on it until I saw an article this morning. Does anyone have particularly strong feelings about flower girls they wanna share? I have a 5 (will be 6 by the wedding) year old cousin who I think would absolutely love to be our flower girl. I was a flower girl in my aunt’s (her mom’s) wedding and I think it would be a really sweet thing to continue. FH doesn’t feel super strongly either way and honestly neither do I. I’ve just never imagined my wedding day with a flower girl. I don’t want to ask my aunt until we’re completely sure, so I should probably decide pretty soon, and I’d be super grateful for any thoughts!

I’m the first to get married too! We aren’t super duper close as I’m a solid 18 years older than her but I think it would be special to include her. Thank you so much for sharing the sweet story and the advice!

Currently the only children we will be inviting will be her and my other cousins who will be 14 and 16. That’s pretty much what our thought process is as well- we just haven’t thought about it as it’s not a huge deal to us or a priority. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah we aren’t going to have many children there- the only under 18s besides her will be my/her cousins who will be 12 and 16. I hadn’t thought about the getting ready part- I think having a child there might be kind of distracting and as her mom would have to be there too that could potentially be problematic. Definitely making me think. Thanks again for your help!

Having your daughters as flower girls sounds lovely! I think if we had children (we’re still quite young haha) I would for sure want to include them. Thanks for sharing!

My grandma is actually going to be our flower girl 😂 but our venue doesn't allow petal tossing unless you clean it up afterwards so she's just going to carry a bouquet and be one of the wedding party like a bridesmaid.

OMG that sounds amazing! Luckily my venue does allow petal tossing, when I was a flower girl I carried a bouquet and it just felt weird so I would definitely want ours to toss petals if we have one. I love that y’all picked something that’s totally you!

It's not mandatory but if you want one then why not? It's cute and I think most people enjoy a flower girl
