FLOWER GIRLS & PAGE
BOYS
Flower Girls
Apart
from the bride & groom most attraction goes
to flower girls & page boys in a wedding
ceremony. There's no reason why you can't
have two or even three flower girls – it
will add to their confidence and ups the
cuteness quotient.
Avoid
choosing someone who is too young – she will
be confused and perhaps scared. Normally
flower girls are chosen from the ages
between 5 to 8. If your only choices are
unsuitable or not that close to you, there
is no reason why you have to have a flower
girl. Choose who you feel comfortable with.
Don't worry about pleasing a relative;
chances are there are so many children in
your family you'd have to have several
flower girls to please them all.
Even
adults or pets could serve as a flower girl.
Determine whether you want a traditional
wedding with a little girl serving as flower
girl, or one more suited to your life.
Possibilities for the latter include an
adult flower girl, a pet with a cute bow and
a basket or no flower girl at all. Contemplate what type of photos you want of
your wedding. This could change your mind
about who you want as a flower girl. Dogs
are cute, but you might regret it once you
see your official wedding photos.
Decide
whether you want the traditional age, which
is usually between 5 and 8 years old, or if
you want an older, more responsible child.
Keep in mind that the older the child, the
more expensive the outfits and gifts for
them will be. Try not to hurt anyone's
feelings. This could cause a huge fight
between your family. You definitely don't
want people to be fighting on your wedding
day!
Remember, she's just a little girl! Even if
she messes up, it's okay! As long as she
looks cute, no one will notice! Don't put
too much pressure on her.
Page Boys
The
pageboy traditionally could either carry the
rings on a cushion to the bride and groom,
or walk behind the bride down the aisle
carrying the trail of her dress, if it was
long. Pageboys are normally between the ages
of 5 and 8. Children under 5 are unlikely to
understand much of what's going on and may
decide to start playing hide and seek just
as the vows are about to be exchanged.
Don't
be confuse with your budget plan. If the
pageboy already has a smart pair of black
trousers and a white shirt then he may only
need a waistcoat and tie to complete the
look. Make sure the children are dressed in
appropriate and comfortable clothing.
Most of
the time page boys are chosen by groom from
his family members children. Nephews are
suit best for the role of a page boy. When
age does matter you can choose from your
neighbors or friends children.
If you
are going to have young children in the
bridal party tell them and their parents as
soon as possible, so they have time to plan
and get used to the idea. Also, remember
that children will often find it difficult
to stand through an entire ceremony so it
may be a good idea to let them sit down with
their parents after their initial duties
have been performed.
Who,
how many, how much will cost will be paid
off once you see the official wedding
photos & video. So don't try to do too many fancy
things, keep in mind to lead the tradition
with few changes.
