Flower Baskets and Flower
Girls
A flower basket is a pretty basket which is traditionally
filled with rose petals but can, of course, be filled with
the flower petals of your choice. The petal filled basket
is held by a flower girl, who scatters them, as she walks
down the aisle, leaving a path of petals behind her for the
bride to walk on.
A flower girl usually walks behind or is escorted by the
ring bearer and precedes the bride in the wedding procession.
If you wish to have more than one flower girl the girls can
either walk side by side or one in front of the other.
The age of a flowergirl is usually between four and eight
years old and, therefore, a great way of involving young children
in a wedding. However if you don’t know any children
that you can entrust this duty to or you simply do not wish
to include children in the wedding party, a flower girl is,
naturally, not essential.
