i'm not sure there is a set age, i was a flower girl at 8 and all i did was stand around a lot, throw petals and 'look cute', that is all we are going to ask our flower girl to do...not sure about page boys, maybe hold the rings?

I think maybe over the age of 8 they'd be more bridesmaid than flower girl, same goes for a page boy and I don't really know what their role's are, just to look cute I'd say lol! x
All of my dreams come true the day I married you, Mr Walker

A page boy is a young male attendant at a wedding or cotillion. This type of wedding attendant is less common than it used to be, but is still a way of including young relatives or the children of relatives and friends in a wedding. A page is often seen at British royal weddings. There may be many pages for effect at cotillions. Traditionally, page boys carry the bride's train, especially if she is wearing a dress with a long train. Because of the difficulty of managing the train, page boys are generally no younger than age seven, with older boys being preferred for more complicated duties.[1]
A ringbearer holding a wedding ring on a cushion. In a formal wedding, the ring bearer is a special page who carries the wedding rings for the bridal party. This is almost always symbolic, with the ring bearer carrying a large white satin pillow on which imitation rings are sewn, while the real wedding bands are kept in the safekeeping of the best man. If the real rings are used, they are tacked on with thread to prevent their accidental loss. The ringbearer as a separate role is a relatively modern innovation. In today's common wedding ceremony, the best man carries the rings. Ring bearers are often nephews or young brothers (although they can also be nieces or sisters) and are generally in the same age range as flower girls, which is to say that they are no younger than about 5 nor older than 10. If the couple have had children prior to marriage, their own child(ren) may serve as ring bearer. The coinbearer is similar to that of the ringbearer. The coin bearer is a young boy who marches on the wedding aisle to bring the wedding coins. The wedding coins are more commonly known as wedding arrhae. The coins are presented to the celebrant for a blessing. The coins usually consist of thirteen gold and silver coins, to represent Jesus and his apostles. Historially, Spanish colonizers started this custom
A flower girl is a participant in a wedding procession. Like ring bearers and page boys, flower girls are usually members of the bride's or groom's extended family, but may also be friends. Her male equivalent is the ring bearer or page boy. Often the ring bearer and the flower girl are dressed to look like a couple, and they may be dressed in miniature versions of the bride's and bridegroom's clothes.

my 2 yr is my flower girl, wearing a different dress to the other bridesmaids, i think the reason my daughter says she is not a flower girl is because she is wearing the same dress as other older bridesmaids xx
