Flower girl flowers alternative

Stefanie, on October 21, 2019 at 8:33 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7

So, I'm looking for some alternative ideas for things for flower girls to carry....I've seen a few lists with some cute stuff...and I really liked the idea of them blowing bubbles as they walked. My wedding is indoor but...almost with a garden theme. Behind us at the front will be a huge greenery wall (8x12 foot, starting at 3 ft high) with a beautiful chandelier hanging above us. So, my decorations are primarily greenery and candles, with some touches of white roses here and there.


Anyhow. I love the idea of them blowing bubbles...but I'm worried that there might be coordination issues, they'll have trouble blowing bubbles while walking...they walk into the candles lining the path. So, I'm kind of nixing that idea.

I'm thinking about taking some plastic round ornaments and basically stringing some faerie lights through them...probably not strung together in a perfect ball, but definitely not in a line either, and hanging it from a golden ribbon for them to carry, so it's lit up and kind of looks like a ball of glittery bubbles. I was also toying with the idea of getting miniature lanterns and making those cloud lights for them to carry, but I feel like the idea might be lost on what it is supposed to be.

Any thoughts?

    My two youngest god daughters are our “flower girls.” Instead of throwing petals, they’ll both be blowing kisses as they walk down the aisle!

    My flower girls had “flower wands”. They felt like princesses all day!

    We are making ribbon wands for our flower girls to carry! That way they can have them and play with them after the wedding

    You could get a bubble “gun” that blows the bubbles for them. Hopefully one that has a chamber for the soap, and they just push a button. However, if your venue is inside with a garden theme, it seems like flowers would be perfect! I’ve seen kids holding signs up that say “Here comes your bride” which are pretty sweet as well.

    I think you may be right about the Lack of coordination of walking while blowing bubbles....I don’t even know if I could do that tbh!! LOL the idea is cute and different....but with candles on the ground (fire and glass) that could be disastrous. I’m curious to see what others suggest for a cute alternative to flower petals!

    They could carry a mini bouquet. I remember when my mom got married to my step dad, my sister and I were flower girls and we had cute little bouquets we carried
