Your Bridal Attendants |
|
|
The role of the ring bearer is quite simple. He/she carries
the ring or rings, often on a cushion, to be presented during
the ceremony. The ring bearer is usually a child and it is a
perfect role to bestow on your own child/children, to directly
involve them in your ceremony. He/she can be dressed to match
your other attendants or have a completely individual outfit
to make them stand out. An older child can also fulfil this
role but can perhaps hold the rings in their boxes instead.
The flower girl is usually an extra to your bridesmaids, and
traditionally walks in front of the bridal party on their way
down the aisle at the start of the ceremony. As her name suggests,
she scatters
petals or confetti on the ground for you to walk through.
However, many venues/churches do not permit this, so instead
she can carry a basket of confetti or petals during the ceremony,
and then distribute it outside at the end of the service.
A flower girl is usually a young child, often dressed as a flower
fairy, but there is no reason why an older relative or friend
shouldn't perform this role. However, if your flower girl is
very young then it may be wise to allow her to make her entrance
with you and then sit with her parents during the ceremony and
rejoin you afterwards for the recessional.
