No flower girl...who scatters flowers?

If you want to have your DOC do it, I would have it done before the ceremony and block the aisle entrances to your seating so that guests don't walk all over them before the ceremony even begins.

We didn't have a flower girl so we didn't have flowers scattered. I don't feel that it is necessary. If you want flower petals on the ground as part of your decor, I would have it done beforehand by whoever is decorating your ceremony space and block the aisle so guests can not walk on them.

That sounds fine for your DOC to do it beforehand!

Echoing everyone else here, it's totally doable - an alternative is that you have "ushers" or other greeters kindly request your guests enter from the sides so as to not step on the petals. That way you don't have to worry about a physical rope blocking off the aisle. Went to a wedding this summer that did it that way and it was executed flawlessly!

Maybe not...I hadn't thought about it as a possibility not to have them, but I do think I like the idea of them!

I appreciate that, thank you!

That sounds like a really good idea, thank you!

Good to know, thanks!

Got it. So all the bridesmaids/people in the processional will walk on them before I do - is that normal? Do you think the flowers will still look ok?

Great idea, thank you!

Thanks for the tip. Now I'm starting to debate about having flowers at all, but since we're doing the ceremony in the backyard I want to have enough things to make it look "wedding-y". I'll definitely think about it - thanks!

Good to know, thank you!
