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. So don't try to do too many
fancy things, keep in mind to lead the tradition with few
changes.
