What Does a Flower Girl Do?
The flower girl tradition dates back centuries and symbolises innocence, happiness, and good luck for the couple. While traditionally a young family member or close friend, flower girls can be of any age and play an important role in setting the scene for the bride’s grand entrance. Many couples choose to have one flower girl, while others prefer to have two or more flower girls for a beautifully coordinated effect. Whether they are carrying a basket of petals, a floral hoop, or a mini bouquet, their outfit should reflect the elegance of the wedding day.
Where Did the Tradition of Flower Girls Come From?
The tradition of flower girls dates back to ancient Rome, where young girls would walk ahead of the bride, scattering herbs and grains to symbolise fertility and prosperity. During the Medieval and Renaissance periods, flower girls carried garlands and rosemary to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck to the couple. In the Victorian era, their role became more decorative, often dressed in white with floral wreaths, mirroring the bride’s innocence and purity. Today, flower girls remain a beloved part of weddings, adding a touch of charm and tradition to the ceremony.
How to Choose the Perfect Flower Girl Dress
When searching for flower girl dresses, brides often look for designs that complement their own bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses. However, it’s important to remember that flower girls need a comfortable, practical dress that allows them to move freely throughout the day.
Things to consider when choosing a flower girl dress:
Match the Wedding Theme: Many brides choose ivory, white, or blush dresses to complement their gown, while others prefer flower girl dresses that match the bridesmaid colours.
Comfort is Key: Young children need dresses made from soft, lightweight fabrics to ensure they stay comfortable throughout the ceremony and reception.
Seasonal Considerations: Short-sleeved or sleeveless dresses work well for summer weddings, while long-sleeved flower girl dresses or styles with cardigans and shawls are perfect for autumn and winter weddings.
