Seven Important Flower Girl Questions Answered!

Herein, we’ve answered 7 common questions most brides have about flower girls.

1. How old should flower girl(s) be?
Ideally, a flower girl should be around 2-8 years old, but some brides have even asked their moms and grandmas. It’s no biggie. If she is way too young, you can pair her with a bridesmaid so she can stay on-course while walking down the aisle. For older ones, the flower girls dress should match those of the bridesmaid. This way, the cute girls’ clothing won’t clash with your overall wedding style or theme.

2. What should my flower girl(s) wear?
Little girls white dresses or ivory ones are always on-point for flower girls. Other traditional flower girl dress choices include bohemians’ styles or classic tulle. You can also choose little girl designer clothes in the same color palette as the rest of the bridal party. The bottom line is that you have so much leeway when it comes to flower girl dresses, both colorwise and style-wise.

3. How many flower girls can I have?
Here’s a no-brainer question. There’s no definite answer, though; you can have as many flower girls as you want. In fact, it’s not uncommon for some bridal parties these days to be comprised entirely of cute little girls. Just take a look at Meghan and Harry’s flower girls!

4. When should the flower girl(s) grace the aisle?
Traditionally, the flower girls walk down the aisle right after the last bridesmaid and before the bride enters.

5. What should my flower girls throw?
While it’s customary for the flower girls to throw petals, it’s not a must. They can throw confetti, carry a pomander, basket of flowers or even nothing. The choice is yours.

6. Where should the flower girl stand during the nuptials?
That also depends on the age of the flower girls. If she is too young or uncomfortable to stand, she can join her parents/siblings. Otherwise, the flower girls can stand beside the bridesmaid during the ceremony.

7. When is the right time to order flower girl dresses?
There are many reasons why you want to hold off until a couple of months to the big day. One, your cute little girl is at a stage where she is growing pretty fast. More importantly, you want to check out girls new arrivals as close as possible to your wedding day.
