Preparing Your Flower Girl

Perhaps the best and easiest ways to prepare your flower girl is buy her a book about being a flower girl that should explain her role, and of course, get her excited. It is a good idea to seat her parents on the aisle near the front so that the flower girl can see them as she walks down the aisle and also during the ceremony. It would also be helpful to ask a bridesmaid to be her buddy. Also do make sure she uses the restroom before the ceremony.

Most importantly, do not get too nervous that she could make a mistake. Even if your flower girl dumps all the petals at the start of the aisle and runs instead of walking - or even if she starts crying, the guests might think it is cute.

What should your flower girl wear?

Very often, the flower girl dress is a mini-version of the bride's dress, or perhaps a white dress with a sash that would match the bridesmaid's dresses. But then, you can pick any sweet looking dress that is in sync with the look of the wedding.

It is vitally important to ensure that flower girl dresses are comfortable and not too long - so that she will not be pulling at her dress or tripping down! Just in case your flower girl does not prefer dresses, go ahead and choose a pants outfit with the same level of formality as the bridesmaid dresses.
