We are so grateful that our new wedding planner is allowing us to stream our ceremony for friends and family who can't come. So, I don't want to do it in FB Live- it's still a private event. Any...

Flower baby?
Nicole, on February 8, 2018 at 7:43 AM

Has anyone had a flower girl that’s still just a baby? One of our closest friends has a little girl who we love very much, but she’ll only be around 1 on our wedding day. Has anyone else done this?
