Grandma as flower girl?

My two grandmothers are going to be my flower girls. I love the idea of having two people that were such a huge part of my life share in my day in a special way. They were excited when I explained it to them like that.....my one crazy Jewish grandma didn't like the idea before I explained lol

I wish we did this! I love this idea!

Personally, I find it demeaning to ask a grown woman to do this but it depends entirely on your relationship with your grandmother.

This seems a little strange to me, but I guess if grandma is OK with it then go for it. Definitely not my cup of tea though.

Talk to your grandmother and see if she wants to do it. It's a special moment when the grandma always dreamed of being a flower girl, is completely honored by the suggestion, or it was her idea to begin with. When it is just the bride using the grandmas as a prop to get the pictures & to follow the new trend, there's absolutely nothing special about it.

You can absolutely honor grandparents in other ways. I'm going the very traditional route of having the seating of the grandparents as part of the ceremony and having them all wear corsages/boutonnieres. You could also have your grandma make a special speech, give wedding advice, or really anything else under the sun. Be creative and most of all, have her do what SHE wants to do in your wedding!!

I think it would be sweet and super cute if grandma is up for it.

I agree with Brittany & Jeanne to me this is a little odd but whatever floats your boat!

I think it would be cute

When/if I'm a grandmother, I hope I am still young-at-heart enough to want to be one. Hell, I'd be a flower girl now and I'm 38.

Never heard of this before. Picturing my grandma doing this, and I don't like it. But that's me.

I've heard of this and think it's adorable, but I don't think my grandma would be happy about it (she would find it insulting...).

Honestly, this is so cute, I wish I could do it. My grandma practically raised me so it would be really sentimental. But she recently had a stroke and can barely walk so it wouldn't work. If your grandma is healthy enough, do it!!!

My GD and I are very close. She asked me if I would be in her wedding when/if the time comes. Either as a BM or FG. I wouldn't miss that for the world. I told her no lace on my dress though. I am not a frilly lace person. She is cool with that.

I find this idea cute.

I'm very close to my grandma, and I'm doing this. My paternal grandparents are deceased, and my grandmother has been there for me my whole life. I absolutely wanted her in my bridal party in some way. I agree that it can be twee, but we're working with the florist to make sure it's age appropriate. I love that my grandma will be right ahead of me, to calm my nerves

One of my brides got married for the first time at the age of 50. She had always told her niece that she could be the flower girl when auntie got married. So, there was a 30-something year old flower girl walking down the aisle, grinning from ear to ear!

I can't remember her name to save my life, but a WW user posted her BAM a couple of months ago and I think she had her aunt as the flower girl...but the aunt actually used flour instead of flower petals. Not my cup of tea, but she loved that she did it and she said it added a humorous touch to her wedding. It's up to you but there are people who do have their adult family members in their weddings in non-traditional ways.

I wouldn't... Period! Your choice though

It was the best! The only living grandmother we have between is is H's maternal grandmother. They are super close, and we have gotten close over the duration of our relationship as well, so when I asked her, she was in tears from joy. She's never had a wedding (always had courthouse marriages), or been in a wedding before. It meant the world to her and she rocked it. She is a total spitfire and super fun. She was not offended in any way what so ever. She was honored, touched and thought the idea was super fun.

My grandmother will be my flower girl. I don't have any young girls in my family and our wedding is 18 and over so I thought it would be fun.

When I asked her, she started crying and was so excited. She had never been asked to be flower girl when she was younger and is thrilled to get the opportunity, lol. We are very close and i couldn't think of a better way to include her in our wedding. She's also very outgoing and fun loving, this right up her ally.
