Flower Girl FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Here are a few common questions that we hear about the flower girl’s role during the wedding ceremony:
What song do flower girls normally walk to?
You can have the flower girl walk down the aisle to any song you want. Most weddings with a flower girl use the same song for the flower girl and the wedding party. Typically only the bride gets her own song.
But we do see a few weddings each year where the flower girl gets her own special song when walking down the aisle.
It is much more common to have a special song picked out for the flower girl entering the reception.
Remember…this is your wedding, and you get to make the rules with most of these little details.
Does the flower girl walk out to the same song as the bride?
No, the flower girl typically walks down the aisle to her own song or the same song as the other bridesmaids. The bride is usually the only person who gets her own song.
But these are not set rules. You can make your own rules when it comes to ceremony music.
What do flower girls walk down the aisle with?
The flower girl usually walks down the aisle with a basket of flower petals. She sprinkles them down the aisle so the bride can walk on top of them when she walks down after the flower girl.
We have also seen flower girls carry cute signs or even walk pets down the aisle.
This is your wedding, so have the flower girl do something that you find special.
When does the flower girl walk down the aisle? Does the flower girl walk in front of the bride? Does the flower girl walk before the Maid of Honor and the other bridesmaids?
Typically the flower girl walks down the aisle right before the bride.
The wedding processional usually goes in this order (some ceremonies have a slightly different order. Do whatever makes the most sense for you and your family):
- Grandparents
- Officiant/Priest and groom
- Parents of the groom
- Mother of the bride
- Groomsmen
- Bridesmaids (Maid of Honor last)
- Ring bearer
- Flower girl
- Bride and her father
Can you have more than one flower girl?
Absolutely! We have photographed and planned weddings with as many as six flower girls. It is very common to see 2-3 flower girls at a wedding.
Does the flower girl have to carry flowers?
No, the flower girl does not have to carry flowers.
We have seen flower girls walk with flower baskets, cute signs, pulling a wagon with a younger sibling, walking a dog, or simply walking down and looking adorable with nothing but a smile.
Does the flower girl attend the wedding rehearsal?
Yes, typically, the flower girl attends the wedding rehearsal and dinner. It is a great way to let her see the what/when/where when walking down the aisle. It will make her feel much more comfortable when the actual ceremony happens.
It is not required, but the flower girl is usually a part of the rehearsal process.
