I've seen dozens of weddings where the flower girl doesn't drop petals. In my opinion there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with it. It's actaully just as beautiful, if not more, that she regally carry her basket or bouquet of flowers down the aisle. This may make her feel more grown up too...
Have a great wedding!

There is nothing wrong with not throwing the petals at all. I don't think its done much nowadays with the churches etc discouraging the mess.
We had our flower girl carrying a basket of the bio-degradable confetti that she passed out to guests after the service.
Our slightly older bridesmaid was given a bouquet made from silk flowers to look identical to the older bridesmaid bouquets. So this could be an option too; you don't have to worry about the flowers getting ruined.
At the end of the day its your wedding, and your choice.
Congratulations and I hope all goes well for you.

As I am a florist , I must first inform you that some wedding venues , do not allow petals to be thrown , so you will have to ask before hand.
If they do allow , you have a choice , real petals or fake ones ( which are very good )
As for flowers , you have a wide range to pick from , apart from baskets , you have hoops and other styles
If you want some ideas , send me your email address and I whould be pleased to send you some pictures

This is perfectly acceptable. Some places don't even allow dropping flower petals anymore for the very reasons you mentioned. You can have flowers cascading out of the basket (well glued or tied in place)

Yes this will be okay, I have been to lots of weddings where the flower girl does throw flowers and just carries them in a basket

Have her carry a Kissing ball instead of a basket.... she will still get to carry flowers ... but not have to worry about dropping petals... also a nice idea for an outdoor wedding is to have her carry a FLORAL COVERED PARASOL.. very unique and chic

That is fine. Many places are asking their brides not to have flower girls throw petals. You can have them carry poms instead, or just place flowers in their basket.
Check out www.flower-fairy.com for a couple of ideas.

My flower girl carried a basket and did not drop any petals, so in answer to your question no she does not need to drop any petals.
Good luck!

It's totally fine to have her carry a basket of flowers; that's actually the best thing to do!

At my wedding I had the flower girl carry a small white bible with a spray of flowers matching my bouquet attached to it, it looked lovely and my flower girl had something to keep.
