Wedding Forum - Flowergirls...

Hey there,

Just wanted some opinions on this!! I don't know whether to have little bouquets of flowers or not for my two flowergirls.
I was going to make up little baskets for them to carry instead, with bubbles for them up put in and hand out to guests after the church. Met with my florist on Saturday and never even thought about whether to get them a small bouquet of flowers!! However if they have the baskets they wouldn't necessarily need flowers too? It would save them carrying both?

Any thoughts/ideas?
I am also thinking it would save money if they didnt have bouquets as well!
They will be wearing little flower circlets so maybe a bouquet would also be too much?!

I would say if she has the basket then she wouldn't need the flowers too, it probably would be too much x

That's a good idea! :)

Thanks everyone for replies.
I was thinking of doing something similar Whovain, but already my head is picked with everything else lol.
One of the flowergirls - my OH niece, is walking down the aisle with a blackboard saying 'Uncle ****, here comes your bride' so her basket will already be at her seat for her to walk back up the aisle with.

Our flowers are already fairly expensive and over budget so I think I will just leave them to have the baskets!

I've got a basket and petals for mine x

My flower girls are having wands with a rose entwined

Our flower girl is having a lotus wand (very sparkly), filled with flowers that match mine.

My little sister (Aged5 at the time) had a ball of flowers with a ribbon that secured them on her wrist. (Not getting lost) We then had her walk down with my brother in law (Aged 7 at the time) as on the day she freaked because of all the people and she was first down the isle. So the young gentleman escorted her. It was so cute when I saw the photos a few weeks later.

my flowergirls are having little bouquets like mini versions of mine, as my little girl kept picking up the bouquets in shops and prancing around with them lol, if you want them to have baskets then I wouldn't worry about bouquests maybe you could put some flowers on the basket or petals in it if they church/ registry office allows you. whatever you choose will look lovely :) so i'd go with whatever you want them to have.

mine are having wands, they are in the shape of a sparkly butterfly with a rose in the center and trailing ribbons, they were not very expensive and something for them to keep to play princesses with after the big day:)

my flowergirls are having wands so they can be fairy princesses. thought about basket with petals but cant throw them in the church and worry that they would anyway xx
