Bridesmaid and Flower Girl Duties at a Wedding
Bridesmaids and the Maid of Honour: After choosing your wedding dress and the theme for your wedding, you will then need to start looking for the perfect bridesmaid dresses. It doesn’t matter how many bridesmaids you have but generally, bridesmaid dresses coordinate with each other. Bridesmaids can also carry flower baskets or dolly bags. Flower baskets and dolly bags make great wedding accessories and they give bridesmaids something to do with their hands.
Your maid of honour should be a sister or a close friend. Although the dress for the maid of honour still needs to coordinate with the bridesmaids dresses, she should wear a slightly different colour or have a dress with a design that varies a little from the bridesmaids’ dresses. The maid of honour should look a bit different without standing out too much. They are optional at a wedding but it’s quite sweet to have a much-loved little lady play a part on your big day. They are usually about three to eight years old. She goes down the aisle scattering petals along the path of the bride before the maid of honour, and sometimes even before the bride. The ring bearer should be followed by the this girl.
The chosen flower girl may be a bit shy to walk down the aisle alone so to give her more confidence, consider having two flower girls. It’s always nice to give two special little ladies the privilege of playing a part on your big day. If you would only like one girl at the wedding, then think about pairing up the ring bearer with the flower girl so that they can walk down the aisle together. Flower girls can wear smaller versions of the wedding dress but this isn’t essential. Flower girls commonly wear white tea-length dresses with a satin bow at the waist but there are a range of flower girl dresses to be considered. The Girls involved can wear bridesmaid dresses. Girls also carry flower baskets or dolly bags which contain the petals that they will be scattering.
However it isn’t absolutely vital that flower petals are scattered, confetti or wrapped sweets can replace petals. If you have trouble finding the perfect flower basket or dolly bag, look at the Flower Basket or Dolly Bags section on kids clothing online sites. Why not finish the flower girl outfit by selecting a cute pair of shoes from the Special Occasion Shoes section? To complete the flower girl’s look, you will need to think about how she will be having her hair. An easy option would be for her to have her hair down. To create a more elegant appearance, the flower girl could wear her hair up. Either way, accessorise with a Tiara or a crown of flowers to complete the cute look.
