Instead of a Flower-girl.....My fiance's niece will be our Flower-Maiden!!!

[JQLong]

We have a very small wedding party...only my best girlfriend as my MOH and my 15 y/o daughter as a bridesmaid....Hi best friend as the BM and my brother as his groomsman...Well....his niece is 19 y/o and she is a peanut!!!  I always envisioned my daughter being my flowergirl but I didnt think she would be a teenager by the time I got married.  Anyway...his niece said as a joke...."I want to be the flower girl"....We laughed thinking....Ok...she is 19 y/o but very tiny....(my daughter is almost a foot taller!!! LOL) that got me to thinking.....I want her in the wedding....so....during a convo with my MOH I thought of Flower-Maiden (sounds better than flower-maid).  My MOH and daughter already have their dresses but I told my Flower-Maid....that she can get a dress in the same color any style she wants.

 

 

Now....I need ideas of something creative to have her carry to "flower" my way down the aisle?  Any ideas?

That’s sounds good to me.............here are some different ideas:

If she walks right before you …......have her carry a decorated sign that says "here comes the bride"
Have her wear fairy wings and carry a wand
Crystal bouquets-these can be made easily w/crystal strands from your local craft store and ribbon like this

ribbon bouquet

Hope this will help........

That's so cute!! She could do the traditional flowers or a ribbon wand... both are kind of childish but I feel like that's the point and that's what makes it whimsical and quirky!

I think that's a cute idea. The idea of flowers or either a flower wand both sound nice. I am having a very small wedding party as well. One of my sisters will be my maid of honor and the other one will be my matron of honor. My FI's 16 year old son will be his best man. He was trying to find a way to incorporate his 23 year old daughter in the wedding and he says he wants her to be his "best woman." I like the idea because we definitely want to incude her, but I am still trying to decide if we will actually call her the "best woman" (because that would be ME on that day...lol) or if we will list her as a "maid of honor" and she will stand beside hom and his son.
