While the journey down the aisle is now a lot shorter for most, not much has changed.
Many people choose nieces or the children of close friends to perform the duty.
The flower girl walks down the aisle after the ring bearer and before the bride.
Afterwards, she can either stand with the bridesmaid or sit with her parents.
(For particularly young flower girls, the latter is often preferred.)
In the recessional, she walks down the aisle with the ring bearer and right behind the couple.
For this reason, many couples choose children whose mother or father is already in the bridal party.
Many brides also invite their flower girl to get ready with them in the morning of the day of.
Not mucha flower girl is mostly an adorable and sweet, honorary role.
Its thought to be a nice way to include children close to the couple in their special day.
Traditionally, a flower girl scatters rose petalsbut feel free to use any petals that work for your wedding.
A flower girl usually wears a mid or tea-length gown, and a floral wreath or hair ribbon.
They also tend to carry a basket of flowers.
