Flower girl basket alternative

Katie, on September 23, 2019 at 1:27 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 13
Ok, so I don’t want my flower girl to throw petals because my groom in in a wheelchair and I don’t want him to roll over flowers. So I am debating between a wreath or a bouquet. My ceremony is in a beautiful church so I want something more romantic and traditional. What are your thoughts ladies? Would it be weird for her to carry a wreath if my bridesmaids are carrying bouquets?

    I have seen that but I am not a big sign kind of person. I would like some sort of flower arrangement idea. Thank you for the idea though.

    I did not want our flower girls to drop flowers either, so I ordered them a flower tiara and made bell wands for them to hold as they come down the aisle. I figured it would get people's attention from the sound, but not be too extreme and something different.

    A wand is a cute idea minus the bells. We are having a catholic ceremony so I am not sure the bells would go well with the processional music that will be playing. But the wand is a great idea!!

    I don't think it's weird at all. Have you seen these kissing balls? They became a thing for weddings that can't throw flowers and can be really cute.

    Instead of throwing flowers they could hold a flower ball or you could even put the flowers down the aisle but along the outside.

    What about giving them a flower crown then bubbles to blow as they walk?

    Signs are my favorite, but since you're not a fan I think kissing balls are adorable!

    I love kissing balls. We are using flower wands, our flower girls are little - and they will love the wands.

    The church we got married at prohibited flower petals or anything to be thrown on the ground so we had our flower girls carry lanterns.

    Daughter's FGs had smaller scale versions of the BMs bouquets. They looked very sweet.
