HOW TO CHOOSE A FLOWER GIRL · COMPLETE GUIDE

Selecting the perfect flower girl and flower girl dress adds a special touch to your wedding! Discover key factors to consider, from age and confidence to unique alternatives. ✨
1. Age Range
Traditionally, flower girls are between 3 to 8 years old. Younger children may need assistance walking down the aisle, while older ones can confidently perform the role.
2. Relationship to You
Consider selecting a close relative or family friend. A niece, cousin, or goddaughter who shares a bond with you will feel more comfortable and excited about the role.
3. Personality & Confidence
A flower girl should feel comfortable in front of a crowd. If she’s shy, she might need extra encouragement. Outgoing children often enjoy the spotlight and perform well.
4. Parental Support
Since young children require guidance, ensure her parents are supportive. They’ll help with rehearsals, outfit selection, and keeping her calm on the big day.
5. Number of Flower Girls
If you have multiple young girls in your circle, you can choose more than one! A small group of flower girls will be cuter and much more fun! They can walk together or take turns tossing petals.
6. Alternative Choices
If you don’t have a young girl in mind, consider a flower boy or even an adult bridesmaid tossing petals for a unique twist.
7. Choosing a Flower Girl Dress
When choosing a flower girl dress, consider the wedding theme, season, and comfort of the child. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics like tulle or cotton to ensure she feels comfortable throughout the day. The dress should complement the bridal party’s attire while allowing the flower girl to shine in her own special way. Adding charming details like lace, bows, or floral accents can enhance the look while keeping it playful and elegant! ✨
