A Trip Down Memory Lane

It was sweet of my friend to invite my whole family—after all, we have known each other since forever. And so during the reception, my dad and I were able to have a moment. Looking at his grandchildren frolick in their colorful flower girl dresses, he began to recount how much they reminded him of myself growing up. I was so surprised at how his memory was so vivid.

We took a walk down memory lane, remembering each walk of mine down the aisle as a flower girl. Dad said that I started my career as a flower girl at the ripe young age of three years old. Cute as I looked, it took a few years before I finally warmed up to the thought of flower girl dresses. And by the time I truly appreciated dresses, he said he had a teenager. I could sense how much he enjoyed recounting their memories.

And finally the day came that we walked together down the aisle. It was my wedding day and he remembered how hard I clutched his arm as he gave me away to my future husband. He teared up at this point as I listen to my Dad’s story take me from age to age, until he had to say goodbye to his baby girl. I teared up too, and I leaned over and whispered, “I’ll always be your baby, Daddy”.

Tips & Tricks for a Happy and Healthy Flower Girl

The flower girl plays a vital role in traditional weddings. She will be seen by everyone in the ceremony as she embellishes the aisle with rose petals to present the blushing bride. As one who is given this significant task, making sure the flower girl is fully prepared for the big day is very important. Here are some essential tips to make sure your flower girl will be at her very best.


Talk About It
It's important that the flower girl realizes that she is indeed an important part of the wedding and that she knows her duties. Talk to her about the tradition of the flower girl, what she will be doing and what will occur during the wedding, so she does not feel uninformed. Available in our store is 10 Neat Things About Being a Flower Girl.

Health
Make sure the flower girl goes to bed early. Your girl getting enough sleep could mean the difference between her waltzing down the aisle like a princess or her hunching down the aisle like Frankenstein. Ideally, children aged 7-12 should be getting around 10 hours of sleep a night to ensure that they are well rested.


Also, making sure she is eating healthy is crucial. Make sure she is eating a balanced meal the night before and eating healthy throughout the day of the wedding. Foods that are high in fat can make her drowsy and less attentive to what is going on around her. A balance of protein and carbohydrates will make sure she has energy for the day, along with fresh fruits and veggies.


Reward
After a long day of having to stand around, walking from here to there, temporarily going blind from camera flashes and being the victim to some harsh cheek-pinching, your flower girl will need a well-deserved break! Perhaps treat her to a scoop of ice cream, her favorite candy bar or just let her know that she did an awesome job. Don't let her amazing performance go unnoticed!


With these tips, your flower girl will undoubtedly do well on the big day. Are there any tips I missed? Let me know in the comments below!
