flowergirl age???

hi girls,

i have 2 girls that i want to put in our bridal party as flowegirls...they are both 8 ( i think one may be turning 9 next year)...do you think they're too 'old' to be flowergirls??
i think i would want them to have the same color & similar style dresses as my BM's...

i also have another little cousin (who will be 5 next year) which is the perfect age--so i'm thinking that i will have her wear a white dress....

let me know what you think...

thanks!

Re: flowergirl age???

my flowergirl is 10 and very adorable. 8 & 9 are not too old!

Re: flowergirl age???

Leap 29

I think 9 is a little too old. I would definately ask the 5 yr old, and the 9 yr old could be a Jr. BM

Re: flowergirl age???

LOL mine is 10 and I don't think she'd fit the role as a JBM!

Re: flowergirl age???

I think 9 is fine (ha-ha it's a rhyme....oooo again ). No really, I think of a JBM as between like 12 - 16 or so. My FGs will be 4 and 7

Re: flowergirl age???

Hi! I am having a 3 year old and a 6 year old. My 10 year old cousin will be a Jr. BM. ONLY because she is about an inch shorter than me! She's about 5'1' She looks too tall to be a FG.

Re: flowergirl age???

thanks for your help girls!!

Re: flowergirl age???

I was a flowergirl at my aunt and uncle's wedding when I was 9. I don't think it's too old at all.

Re: flowergirl age???

My flowergirl was 7 but looks older than that. She didnt have the 'ohh ahh' factor that a 2 year old might have but she wasnt too young to behave during the ceremony and rehearsal either.

I think it more important to include the family/friends that are close to you AND will accept the responsiblity than base it on age.

Re: flowergirl age???

My FG will be 5 and my Jr. BM will be 7 & 10.

As for the age - you can do whatever you want.

If you want her to 'match' the BM more than look like a FG, then I'd give her the Jr. BM title.

Re: flowergirl age???

I am having 2 flowergirls. At the time of my wedding one will be 9 & one 7.

Re: flowergirl age???

My flowergirl will just be turning 3 but I have a feeling she won't walk down the aisle. She needs to be by her mom's side at all times so I don't know what I should do. Her brother is our RB, he's 5 and has been in weddings before so maybe I'll try to have them walk down together holding hands or something.

Re: flowergirl age???

My FG is 8years old. Her 2 1/2 year old brother is our ring bearer. I don't think that's too old, I just didn't pick out a FG dress that was very babyish. It's suitable for her age.

Re: flowergirl age???

Definately not too old

Re: flowergirl age???

mine will be just 4 and the other 3 1/2......

my friend had her 9 year old niece as a flower girl (not old at all--still looked adorable) and her sister which was 1 1/2--YES i said 1 1/2 (so cute and made it down the aisle-no problem!)<-i was impressed!

Re: flowergirl age???

FG will be 8 years old, RB will be 5 yrs old.

Re: flowergirl age???

I posted a similar question recently on the May thread. I have two little girls who are going to be 9 but look much younger and two who are 10. I pretty much decided that the older two are jr BMs and the younger two are FGs. I think they are a little old for a white dress but a colored or floral dress should be fine.

Re: flowergirl age???

I don't think that's too old. Mine will be 5 at the time of my wedding and the RB will be 8 or 9.
