Wedding flower girl ideas?

I'm getting married in August and plan to do something different with the flower girl. Rather than have her drop flower petals before everyone, I plan to have her walk first and give out long stems of flowers to people sitting in the aisle seats. So I'm trying to figure out what she can carry these flowers in, because the baskets made for long flowers is just too big for her.


She is 7 or 8 so she's grown a little... I was thinking of putting the flowers in something similar to a pocketbook but deeper -- a flower bag.


any ideas?

How many would she need to carry?





You could get one of those round "boxes" like what you use to pkg a wine bottle in. Just cover/decorate it to look more "wedding-ish" The shape/style is something similar to what they always picture a cupid carrying his/her arrows in...most of them already have a carry-rope handle tied on through holes, which could be removed and replaced with a longer thick-ribbon sash so that she could carry it easier in the same way that we would a heavy bag/purse placing the strap over our head and wearing it across the chest so that the container is in front of her. And it would be deep enough (approx 12-17") to carry long stom flowers without them falling out due to being top-heavy.


I made one of these for my friends wedding, she did something similar, her flower girl was only 7 and she actually had her wearing wings so she REALLY looked like a cupid! It was ADOREABLE!! If you'd need any help or further info on how to do this, I would be MORE than glad to help you.
Reply:I'm so glad that I was able to help! I know how it is when you wanna do something different, and you can see it in your mind, but you're just not sure how to execute the idea....I like to pick a "fresh brain" too in that situation! LOL! Report It

Reply:How about if you have her carry them in a Miss America style bouquet. That way, she just gives away one from the top. Each one could have a ribbon tied around. That would be really cute!!
Reply:Have you ever heard of a moses basket? They are made to carry babies in. That might be cool. I don't know, though...you will want to look at them online and check out the dimensions. It may be a little too big. But, I think if it's not it would look pretty. It would lay flat and you would put the roses where the baby would normally go. Then, you could save it for when/if you have a baby. Good luck and congratulations!!





Below is a link to one.
