Brides are Talking
Can a boy act as the flower girl?
This week in our Brides.com Forums a bride without any young female relatives wants to know if she can ask her nephew to act as the flower girl. See what our brides have to say here:
Some brides feel it's not appropriate to ask a boy to perform this role. "Understand that if he tells his friends he is in a wedding, they will assume he's ring bearer and might tease him for taking on the girl's part," says CatStandish.
Others think it's fine to ask him to carry flowers. "Hey, if one of the boys doesn't mind tossing pettles, go for it, but don't make him wear a dress!" says ArtBride. "Give him a masculine-looking (i.e. not covered with pink ribbon) basket and some rose petals."
And some brides suggest coming up with a unique role for him. "Have you considered having a bell boy?" says Jellybean91908. "The position can be held by a boy or girl who walks down the aisle before the bride ringing a hand bell to announce her entrance."
