Older flower girl?

I was 9 and was a flower girl and I felt like I was too old,

is there a reason why the person can be a BM?

I dont think it would be strange, esp if there arent any close relatives with girls of age to be a flower girl....

Definitely a bit old. Maybe have them carry a different kind of flower, or if you don't have a ring bearer make them the keeper of the rings? Pomador? I don't think I would want to stand up if I were older than 12 and a flower girl.

There is no reason she can't be I just don't have a flower girl. So I was just thinking. I am not sure, it might be odd

You could always haver her be a jr. bridesmaid

We aren't having a ring bearer. I think it would be a little odd but that is just my opinion. maybe you can have her wear a different color dress if you don't want to make her an offical BM's she can be one but a different one of some sort maybe?

Think I am just tired and being weird lol. Maybe I should go to bed

I have been on Pinterest all day and that on top of being tired is giving me FG envy lol

I am hoping to have my two little cousins as flower girls, even though one of them will be 11 years old by then. But I think they'll enjoy it anyway and I really can't imagine anyone else I'd want as my flower girls.

As a teen and especially an adult I personally would be uncomfortable being a "flower girl".

I was a flower girl at 2 and 10. I think any older than 12 needs to be a BM. My youngest BM is 14.

I'm not having a FG... it's nothing bad... I don't know any children old enough or young enough to do it that I would want to ask or will have their parents at the wedding.

My flower girl is five, i have two eight year olds in the bridal party but they both said they were to old to be a flower girl so they will be our jr. bridesmaids

That's strange! People will never notice/question you not having a flower girl, but they WILL notice/think it's weird if a grown woman is your "flower girl."

p.s. I would laugh at someone if they asked me to be a flower girl when I was in my "teens" or as an adult. I'd think it was a joke.

I am not having a flower girl or ring bearer because I don't know any little girls. I don't think there is anything wrong without having a flower girl, and the whole reason people have them these days is because it's "cute" I would not want to be a flower girl as a teen or adult.

We arent having a FG or RB as there arent any kids, i think like others have said anything older than 12 may be weird

I'm with HalloweenBride. I don't think my brother and SIL had a FG or a RB, but I will. FH's nephew is our RB and my friends's daughter is our FG. I think Spencer will be 6 and Jennie 4 (Gah... they can't already be that old!) so they're still in the "AWE!!" stage. After about 10 or 12, I'd say Jr Bridesmaid or Usher

I officiated a first wedding for a bride who was 50ish. She had always promised her niece that she could be FG if aunty ever got married. It took a while, so the FG was a grown woman (30ish), who grinned from ear-to-ear all the way down the aisle. It was a small wedding -- family & close friends -- and everyone knew of the promise!

My flower girls will be 4 and 8, and our ring bearer will be 9 at our wedding. My photog suggested making the older a jr BM and I was a little offended. She is my niece and goddaughter, and she will be whatever I decide! I was a FG when I was 10, but like the other ladies are saying 12 or older is probably too old.

I have 7 flower girls ages 2-11...the 11 year old will actually probably be more of a "train bearer." These sweet girls are ALL my cousins, and I couldn't leave anyone out! I was the flower girl in the 11 year old's parent's wedding long ago, and I just had to continue the tradition! She seems super excited...just depends on the people involved, the wedding, everything.

It's going to interesting since my 13yr old nice is the youngest flower girl we have...
