Move over Bride, it’s the Flower Girl’s time to shine! The sweetest little accessories you can have on your wedding day are the flower girls. In the Victorian Era, a flower girl was a given role to a young woman, where she had to entertain the guests before the arrival of the bride. As centuries have passed, this important role has been placed upon little girls (either family related or close friends). And since they always seem to steal the show, what an important role it is!
They say that good things come in a pack of three! Two of my former clients got lucky and had the groom’s triplet nieces participate in their wedding. Having each little girl in a different color from the wedding palette was a great idea!
These two sisters (above) were beautiful and look at their creative baskets! Their more formal attire was perfect for the La Jolla Country Club. Their sashes also matched the bridesmaid dresses perfectly which was a great way to bring in one of the wedding’s colors. Below, the coral dresses with gold strappy sandals on the three little flower girls were perfect for a beach wedding at Paradise Point. The girls were gorgeous!
Little men can definitely be fashion forward as well! Below left, two little boys in suits with fantastic stripped ties await the beginning of a ceremony at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Their attire is well suited for a formal church occasion. Below right, look at the tiny seersucker suits and Perry Ellis shoes on the little boys (who ran down the aisle–luckily the rings were in the pocket of the best man!)! They were perfectly adorned for a beach wedding at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. So handsome!
And these two little men below are my favorite! The red and black striped suspenders, not only look adorable but they also brought in the vintage motif of the wedding at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. And instead of ring pillows, they carried a wooden “Here Comes The Bride” sign. I loved it!
I love children in a wedding no matter (almost) how they behave! I love it if they run down the aisle, decide to collect all the rose petals they have tossed, or need the encouragement of the entire crowd to get to the front (all have happened at my weddings)! I think they bring a sweetness and lightness that only add to the warmth and love of a wedding day!
