My flower girl

Jesselyn, on May 2, 2018 at 6:01 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8
My flower girl is in a wheelchair; which I love! her mom wanted her in a wagon and wanted one of the other kids to pull her however I feel like her wheelchair is part of her even though it is lime green. I'm not sure if she is able to make the trip and throw petals at the same time she's mighty but she is still learning and is snail speed slow, so I was wondering do you think it will be strange if I have her just bring my rings down the aisle and idk maybe wave one of those ribbon bell tassles while one of the more careful kids pushes her down the aisle?

    I think she would be safer in her chair than in a wagon. She doesn't have to throw flowers or even carry the rings, but I think she would have fun waving a ribbon wand while being pushed by her escort!! She's adorable Smiley smile

    I like ribbon wands. I would defintely do that and have her use her wheelchair. I think it’s safer than a wagon

    She's precious, and it's so kind of you to incorporate her in your wedding! As PPs have said, a wagon does not seem safe. I definitely think you need to find a way to work with the wheelchair.

    I agree with the others, have someone escort her and let her wave the wand! She is the cutest little girl!! I can't wait to see your BAM!

    I love the idea of keeping her in a wheelchair. As you said, it is a part of her and who she is. You can always add ribbon and tulle to her chair to dress it up.

    As for the rings, do whatever you want! It's YOUR wedding Smiley smile . If you want her to be able to focus on one thing at a time, you could always designate an user or her mother/father to guide her chair while she throws flowers or holds the rings.

    Whatever you decide will be beautiful. She is so sweet and will look adorable on your big day.

    She is absolutely precious! I would keep her in her chair. It is part of who she is. You can always decorate the chair if you like. I would maybe have her throw petals or just use the ribbon wands. It would probably be easier if she only had I thing to focus on. I love the ribbon wand idea. It's going to be beautiful! You can give the rings to the person escorting her or give them to someone else such as the best man, MOH etc.

    As a sped teacher, keep her in her chair. Her mobility depends on that chair and a wagon could cause her distress and be uncomfortable for her, even for a short time. She would probably be most successful with the ribbon wands - and besides.....ribbon wands are fun!
