Idea for an older flower girl/poem

Future Mrs. S, on January 2, 2013 at 11:10 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 5

I am having two flower girls, one is my niece who will be a toddler, and the other is a friend's daughter who will be 9 (she just loves my niece and can help her down the aisle). I have another friend who is 13 and as she's a bit old for a flower girl, and I already have all my BMs, I decided to include her by asking her to hold my bouquet as I say my vows. I found a bunch of how-to-ask-your-flower-girl poems, but none that worked for a "flower attendant" so here is what FH and I came up with:

The flowers carried by a bride

Have meaning to impart:

They speak of love now blossomed,

And the joining of two hearts.

So as the bride and groom join hands

On our wedding day,

I need a special person

To hold my bride’s bouquet.

Will you be my flower attendant?

Thought maybe someone else might be able to use the idea!

    I officiated a very small beach wedding. The bride spotted a wide-eyed little girl standing nearby (a stranger) and asked her to hold the bouquet. The little girl was thrilled. After the ceremony, her parents told us that they had kept her entertained on the airplane by giving her a bridal magazine -- because she LOVES weddings!

    FMS, I'm sure your 13-year old friend will be honored!

    13 is the right age for a junior bridesmaid, but I love the poem and you definitely need someone to hold the bouquet. I like it!
