We decided to limit our bridal party to our siblings and each one of our best friends. Both of our sister are adults so I decided that my step sister would be our flower Maid (since she is not quite a girl). At the time of the wedding she will be 17, so of course she is too old to use a traditional flower girl basket so i am in search of an alternative.
One idea was a sign like the one in the photo above. Its different, pretty easy to make, and wont make her feel like a little girl. I guess my only question is, what will she do with it during the ceremony?
Another idea is just a simple tin bucket with petals for her to toss. Its classic and elegant and will get the job done without too much fuss.
Since the bridesmaids will be carrying clutches, i thought it might be cute for her to carry one with petals in it that she would toss. Sounds good in theory, but not too sure how well this would actually turn out.
My last idea is for her to carry a large fabric flower. You all know how much i wanted to use fabric flowers, so this is a cute way to incorporate them. Plus its simple, chic and mature enough for a 17 year old.
So, what would you have a teenage flower girl carry?
I think the large flower would be really cute. Have you talked to her about what she would like to do?
ReplyDeleteI like the clutch idea. How about a small brooch bouquet? I might make some for my flowergirls if I can face the DIY stress!
