Those cute little sweethearts - being pulled in a wagon, toddling down the aisle, scared or ultra bold - it’s one of the cutest parts of your big day.

How to Pick Your Flower Girl

Traditionally, a flower girl is between 4 years to 8 years old - but older or younger is okay, too! The number of flower girls you want is totally up to you too. An older flower girl can perhaps help a younger flower girl head down the aisle. It’s a great way to incorporate a niece, a cousin, a younger sister, or your child.

A flower girl should be treated as part of the wedding party - even if there is a vast age difference. If possible, they should attend dress fittings, rehearsal dinners, and bridal showers.
