Grandma as the flower girl?

I'm not sure about the flower girl thing, I think it could work for some people.

I want to honor my grandparents by playing a nice love song from their generation, like maybe something by Sinatra, and do the anniversary thing where the couple who has been married the longest is the last on the dance floor. They are so special to me, I'm going to try to find another way to honor them as well.

Love the dance floor idea! I do think we'll do that as well

I love when ppl use their grand mother's as the flower woman. The grandmas always rock this and it's great to see.

Aw that's awesome to hear. I'm just nervous about offending my other two grandmas so I think they'll read something at the ceremony instead

My great Grandma the one who raised me for 5 years while my parents worked 60 hours a week would be the flower girl.

Consider also your grandparent(s) as ring bearer. What a great way for them to bless your marriage by presenting you with your rings. Best wishes!

My grandmother and my FH's grandmothers will be my flower girls! Once I asked them, they were so tickled to death with the fact that they are going to actually be apart of the ceremony. That's something that I know I will never regret doing.

I'm a pass on this since it is traditionally a little kid role. I would just have her walk in, be in the program, be mentioned in a speech to be honored.

Our mommoms we are calling our "mommoms of honor". They will walk up the aisle with the best man and will carry our rings.

My grandma was so excited to be my flower girl but that's because of her personality and our relationship. I think it's up to you how you think she would react.

My grandma doesn't even know I'm getting married.

It's so wonderful to see such amazing relationships with your

Grandmas and to honor them.

I love the idea!! FH is very close to his grandmother, so I thought it would be a really beautiful way to honor such a great woman. He didn't like the idea, though!

I think it's very sweet and I'd rather include a grandmother as a flower girl than throw in a random child if you don't have any you're close with. I am a fan.

I'm on the fence about this. It's become such a hipsterish thing to have grandmas as flower girls. If grandma is really and truly okay with it, then go for it. It does seem a bit infantilizing to me, though.

I don't think it's a 'hipster' thing. I've only had one couple do this, so clearly it's not a trend in my area (ny/nj) but the one set of grandmas who did this brought the house down. I do love the idea of grandparents as ring bearers.

If they're on board, why not? I think some women would love it, and mine clearly did! As someone old enough to be a grandma, I'd be mortified. I'm personally not into the 'oh, aren't the old people cute' verbiage that accompanies so many stories about older people.

I personally don't like the idea but if you and your grandma(s) like it, go for it.

I think that's a cute idea! My grandmother struggles to walk unassisted, but if your grandma is willing and on board, I say go for it!

I hate this idea, honestly. I'd rather see my grandmother walk down the aisle like a VIP than be a flower girl, a role traditionally filled by a child.

I did have the anniversary dance at my wedding though and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

We had no children at our wedding. We wanted to honor my maternal grandparents because they helped raise me. My maternal grandmother also helped me big time when my succulents were accidentally shipped too early. She took them from my mother (an infamous black thumb) and kept them for six months and lovingly watched over them. She is the plant and flower whisperer of our family and has brought orchids and African violets back from the brink of death. She will literally care for flowers until her final day she loves them so much. She was so excited when I asked her and she was smiling so much when she walked down the aisle!

It may not be for everyone but my Grammy loved it and I was happy to have her be a part of my recessional.

I think it's cute i wanted to ask FH's great Grandma, she was 94 or 95 i believe, but she passed right after we got engaged

If my grandmother were alive, she passed 2 yrs ago, I would've asked her to be my flower lady. I would absolutely have loved it. She would be 93 & love to be a part of my wedding.
