Wedding ceremonies are full of cherished traditions, and one of the sweetest is the flower girl. You know, that little girl who walks down the aisle scattering flower petals to create a beautiful path for the bride. But have you ever wondered how this tradition got started?
Back in the days of the Roman Empire, flower girls were usually young girls carrying a sheaf of wheat. It was believed that this would bring good luck and prosperity to the newlyweds. Over time, this evolved, with flower girls carrying different items like garlic to ward off evil spirits or baskets of flowers.
When I was planning my wedding, I chose my niece to be my flower girl. We had a blast picking out her dress and floral tiara, and it was a great bonding experience. But what if your flower girl is too young to walk, let alone offer suggestions? Well, one couple faced this dilemma and came up with a creative solution that left everyone amazed!
Instead of walking, their little flower girl rolled down the aisle in a bright pink toy car, pushed by the ring bearer. The crowd was stunned but delighted by this adorable twist on tradition. It may not have been the usual way, but it was definitely a memorable moment that everyone loved!
That’s right, they had the flower girl roll in on a pink, plastic car that was pushed by the ring bearer. And the reaction from the crowd says it all. It was adorably hilarious! Everyone couldn’t help but reach for their camera to make sure that they captured this precious moment. And it certainly looked and sounded like the flower girl was having a fun time! Perhaps this wasn’t totally in keeping with tradition but I think it’s safe to say that everyone loved it.
Tradition, shmadition… how adorable is this!? Best idea ever!
Traditions are great, but sometimes it’s fun to mix things up a bit. And this creative entrance proves just that! Let’s give a big round of applause to this special flower girl and a shoutout to the ring bearer for providing the extra horsepower.
