Flower girl question?

Question

I have a two and a half year old girl being a flowergirl in my wedding and I was wondering if it would be better for someone to hold her or put her in a stroller during the ceremony. I am afraid she will not sit still if she is sitting on someone's lap and they will miss the ceremony.

Answer 1

I've never seen anyone put the flower girl in a stroller. But I have seen some in the church (besides someone in the bridal party) holding the little ones. Two & 1/2 is awful young to expect to be perfect in a wedding. The child sitting on someone's lap won't make them miss the ceremony. If your concerned that the child will act us so much that they'll have to take her out of the church, she may be too young to be in the wedding.

Answer 2

HOLD HER! Parents are use to holding wiggling two year olds and still getting the important parts of things. If you want to put her in a stroller that is fine too (a little tacky but whatever you want) just make sure she is confined. My flower girl was about that age and her parents thought it would be a good idea for her to stay on the stage and she ran around behind the stage around the candles. Almost knocking down pedastles. Not good.

Answer 3

I had 2 flower women. this is high quality if that's what you like! minimum age is a subjective difficulty: in the event that they are youthful you run the prospect of them doing some thing unpredicted. while you're comfortable with that, then purely make confident they might walk! (certainly one of my flower women replaced right into a year and a nil.5 She ran up onto the adjust and around the adjust for the time of the marriage. i replaced into style of upset my photographer did no longer get a photo...it would have been beautiful!) sure, i think of the flower lady outfits are oftentimes white. (lower back, completely opinion questions) yet they have some shade tied in, too. look at outfits you like. i've got faith that in the event that they are contained in the marriage colours a large number of the time they look greater like miniature bridesmaids. they are young women, they might desire to be dressed to look "beautiful" no longer grown up! :-)

A girlfriend of mine had her 2 young ( 2, 1) in her wedding. She bought a little red wagon and decorated it with the same lace, ribbon and flowers that she used for the reception decorations. Her junior bridesmaid pulled the wagon up the aisle and the girls sat for the entire service. The only thing I didn't agree with is she gave them both red suckers and bottles filled with soda. Not the best nutritional choices, but her wedding went without any interruptions.

Answer 5

I think she's too young to be in a wedding.. but if you want to have her, put her mom and dad in the front row with your parents so she can go to them if she gets squirmy. It will be comforting for her to see them there and they are used to soothing her if she needs it. She's much more likely to get antsy and noisy in a stroller that isn't moving than in her mother's arms... and I hate to say this in 'weddings' but... for the most part... you've seen one you've seen them all! If you miss a word or phrase during the service, memory or imagination will fill in the blanks :)

Answer 6

If you don't expect to much from her 2 1/2 is fine i had a 3 yr old i just had her sit with the bridesmaid but her mom was one. she can sit anywhere though. it's your wedding wherever you want her to go just designate someone before had to go to the end of the pew farthest from where you will be standing to grab her. the bridemaids are usually helpfull with all of that stuff.. ususally if it's a long cerimony she will get restless in a stroller. good luck kids add the perfect touch to weddings but don't expect to much from them you will just get upset.

Get a quiet book... It's a fabric book with different easy activities to do...

ave whoever is going to hold her at the front of the aisle keep these items... She can play quietly with them during the ceremony...

At the back of the aisle have someone else with a small bottle of bubbles so she can blow them before the ceremony... (mom dad aunt grandma)

When the time comes send her to the person in front (best if it someone she knows well mom/dad/aunt/grandma) The person tending her in the back can say "So and so has toys at the front for you." even if that person has to holld uo the fabric book to get her to go it will work...

At the end when she is sent back it should be to a treat of some sort... (a juice box, cookie or other treat she likes)

Yes it's bridery but that's ok it's a once in a life time event and she will not get used to being brided...

Answer 8

2 year olds can be very unpredictable. I have seen them being pulled in a nicely decorated wagon by other children in the wedding party. Don;t try to control her actions - you won't be successful. Plus, sometimes a toddlers antics during a wedding can be very precious and funny. Allow her to go to sit with a family member during the service if funny isn't your thing...

Answer 9

Gee, that's really young for a flower girl. Her mom should be there to look after here, in a nearby pew so the girl can sit with her.
