Flower girl

Hello everyone,
Our big day is 105 days away and due to family drama my niece’s dad won’t allow her to be my flower girl anymore and her mom (my sister-in-law… hubby to be sister) is supposed to be my bridesmaid but her husband (niece’s dad) won’t allow her either (he makes all decisions based on their religion).
We’re boy parents and they’re our ring bearers and ring security. Now I’m stuck flower girl less and don’t want to just ask a random person. I have god daughters but they’re teenagers and taller than me lol…

    We are not having a flower girl or ring bearer. So it's not out of the question to go without a flower girl. Lots of alternatives I see are to have a groomsman toss flowers, or a grandmother. You could have one of your sons toss the flowers - I actually think that would be really sweet.

    Thank you for the advice! I’ve been looking up different alternatives. I’m just so bummed about my niece not being there as we planned it that way in the beginning.

    This sounds like a difficult situation. I think, since you have two sons, you could ask one of them if they would like to toss flowers (or they can toss greenery if they think petals are too "girly"). You can also have an adult do it, like your maid of honor or grandma, as previously suggested. Of course a flower person is optional, you don't have to have any if you don't feel strongly about it.

    Many weddings have only one child in the flower/ring role and it’s mainly aesthetics only because the best man typically carries the real rings. If all you have are ring bearers, you will be fine. Unfortunately you can’t sway other people when they are set in their ways even if it’s not logical.

    My aunt had my cousin, 13 at the time, be her close girl. It totally worked. It doesn’t matter age, gender, etc. these days. The traditional view of the roles are gone - make it what you want it. But you also don’t have to have one at all, if you choose not to.

    You could have the flower petals already laid out on the aisle before the ceremony.
