Flower Girls - What
a big responsibility for such a young girl, but most
flower girls, just love the limelight!
The flower girl is chosen by the Bride and
Groom and usually a very special person close to thier heart.
The flower girl is chosen to walk down the aisle right before
the Bride and following the ring bearer or sometimes they will
walk together for support.
Parents of the flower girl have the responsibility
of dressing and explaining the expected duties of the flower girl
to the young child. Depending on what the bride decides for the
flower girl to do, whether it be scattering flower pedals down
the aisle or just holding flowers as a pomander (a ball of flower),
the parents will agree to see the flower girl through the sequence
of events. Once the flower girl and parents agree to be part of
the wedding party, the parents are now included in all the pre-wedding
festivities, such as wedding rehearsal and wedding rehearsal dinner.
They will care for and watch over the flower girl throughout the
ceremony. It becomes their responsibility to make sure the flower
girl is ready for pre-ceremony pictures, and to walk down the
aisle.
Practice makes perfect, so the parents will
want to practice with the young child to make sure she is fully
aware of here responsibilities. Parents will want to bring a “flower
girl emergency kit” (Non-messy snack, hand wipe, favorite
toy, extra hair pins etc.), somewhat like the brides “emergency
kit”. Story
