Five Tips on Choosing the Right Flower Girl For Your Wedding
This should not be the case, though.
Looks should only be secondary.
Closeness or intimacy should be.
But, when it comes to choosing a flower girl for a wedding, further considerations should be in place.
There is such a thing as the right flower girl.
If you are a bride who does not want to see 'mess' during your wedding celebration or does not wish to see the church turned into a playground, then, you must carefully select your flower girl.
And, how does one know if a child is fitted to become a flower girl? Below are the factors to consider: 1.
Age - Is she 'old' enough to carry the flowers along the aisle with grace? Or, will she just cry the whole time? Bad luck, if she does.
She will only steal the scene from you and annoy everyone in the church.
And, that can include you! 2.
Tantrums - Is she a spoiled brat? Does she have tantrums every day? Is it hard to stop her from crying? If your answers to these questions are yes, then, do not choose her just because she is your niece or she is the daughter of your best friend.
Spare yourself from headache.
But, make sure you will be able to explain to them why.
Or else, you may be burning bridges with them.
3.
Ability to Follow - Will she follow her simplest task of walking down the aisle and filling the bride's way with petals of flowers? If she will, then choose her.
Of course, as a bride, you may prefer to be greeted by petals of flowers, like it has to be.
4.
Likability - You may be the center of attraction on your wedding day, people will still look forward to your flower girls, though.
Thus, they should also be amiable enough to catch people's attention.
Likability is different from beauty.
Do not be mistaken.
5.
Behavior - Is she good enough to behave during the wedding ceremony? Or, will she make a long 'travel', from one person to another and another? Will she make unnecessary sounds inside the church? If you think she is, then make a second thought.
If you want a solemn rite, she is not good for you.
You can ruin your own wedding if you do not carefully pick your flower girls.
Remember, kids are kids.
They will always have a not-so-good day.
And, you are not expecting it to happen right on your big day, of course.
So, try to consider the list we have given you.
Choosing the right flower girl may be a hard task to do with this list, especially if you have family members and friends to consider, but you only want the best for your wedding.
A good explanation will always do.
They will understand.
Good luck on you flower girl hunting.
