Flower Girl Question?

I want to have my two nieces as my flower girls. They will be 9 and 5 by the time I get married in a little over a year. I had heard though, that 9 would be too old for a Flower Girl. What do you think? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.





P.S. I know it's my wedding, I just don't want my 9 year old niece to be uncomfortable and think she's too old to be a flower girl.
Flower Girl Question?
I found this on the net...hope it helps! Sounds like until she's 12 or older it's not uncommon.





Flower girl(s)





You may choose one or two little girls to be the flower girl(s). The best age range is between four and eight. The younger they are the more of a challenge they can be.





There is no hard and fast rule that a child has to be between these ages to be a flower girl, it is whatever and whoever the bride chooses. However, consider that a 13 year old girl (at that age) would probally rather be called "junior attendant" instead of flower girl. This all depends on the girl and how mature she is.





Little ladies are the norm, but don't forget, cute little boys can fill this role, too. If you don't have any little girls, choose who ever will make it special for you.
Reply:i don't think it's too old at all. I think above 10 should be a junior bridesmaid. 10 and younger are just fine for a flowergirl.
Reply:No, she's not too old at all. It's just that some people have two year olds (ick) so a nine year old seems unusual - but it's not at all.
Reply:9 is not too old to be a flower girl. In fact, I would think the older the better, up to about 13.
Reply:well talk to her bout it and tell her that u wont feel bad if she says no that u just wanna no
Reply:That is not too young at all. She should be thrilled! I would say 11-12 is getting too old for flower girl, but not 9. She's still a little girl.
Reply:Flower girls are usually very young (before age 6). Normally, older girls are considered junior bridesmaids. The differences between the two is that junior bridesmaids don't throw flowers and their dress is usually very similar to a bridesmaid. Junior bridesmaids also stand with the rest of the bridesmaids, usually at the end.
Reply:9yrs old is fine, I would dress her a little different then the flower girl, not as childish looking, more like the bride maids, but not as old and I'm sure she'll be just beautiful. Don't leave her out.
Reply:No, Its not too young at all.





I'm sure She would be delighted to be a flower girl-All the photos,attention and dress!





Good Luck!
Reply:no nine is perfect the younger the increased chances they have of ruining a wedding
