flower girl/ring bearer substitute ideas?

I don't know if this makes sense but does anyone have any ideas for a substitute flower girl or ring bearer? Basically, we don't have any young people in either of our families so we won't be having a flower girl or ring bearer. Should we just simply not have them?

We DO have an 9 month old in the family (will be 9 months at the time), but that's way too young to be able to be part of it. We thought about putting him in a cute, dressed up wagon and having someone pull him down the aisle--- but I think there are too many factors that could interfere and make it a disaster.

any ideas are appreciated! :)

I've read that some people have their grandparents as their flower girls/ring bearers. Cute idea if theyre around

This! What about godparents if grandparents aren't around? Theres a pic floating on pinterest of two grandma's throwing flowers down an aisle and it just looks so cute!

Re: flower girl/ring bearer substitute ideas?

Aww the 9 month old baby would be adorable but only if escorted by the parent (to avoid any disaster) and the adult can have the rings. My 4 year old son is my ring bearer and his little cousin is the flower girl and neither of them will have the rings. I would be afraid of them accidentally dropping the rings or just taking off to play lolol. Instead my the BM and MOH will have the each of our rings, my son will have a cute sign and the flower girl will have a cute bouquet. You can also give your rings to the grandparents, parents, godparents and have them walk down the aisle too....unless you're trying to keep the bridal party small.
