Flower girl

Filed Under Uncategorized | 

A flower girl is a participant in a wedding procession.

Traditionally, her responsibility is to walk in front of the bride, either to:

  • Spread flower petals on the floor before the bride
  • Carry a bouquet of flowers
  • Carry a bouquet of flowers or bunch of thornless roses, which they pass out to the guests as they go down the aisle.

She is usually a young child because traditionally flower girls had to be virgins. The recommended age between 4 and 8 years of age.<ref>aweddingministers.com</ref> Her male equivalent is the Ring Bearer or Page Boy. Often the ringbearer and the flower girl are made to look like a couple, as with the best man and maid of honor.

There may be more than one flower girl, particularly at very formal or society weddings, or if the bride has several young relatives to honour. This occurs less frequently than it used to, although it is still common to see several flower girls at British royal weddings.

Flower girls, ring bearers and page boys are often nieces and nephews or young brothers and sisters but may also be children of friends. Typically, it is the responsibility of the parents to pay or provide for the dress.
