One of the many cute parts in a wedding for me, is seeing the little kiddos involved in the Wedding party. I have seen so many different things done, like one flower girl & one ring bearer to many of both.
I guess it depends on how many children there are in your family and how many you want to include.
I guess it depends on how many children there are in your family and how many you want to include.
If you have multiple nieces and nephews you may end up with all of them to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. Or you may just select one to keep it simple.
It probably doesn't really matter, but my guess is that you don't want to upset anyone.
I chose by talking to one of A's cousins and finding out which kids would probably really want to do it the most. Then asked those kids to be a part of our wedding.
I tried to keep it fairly simple for them, our flower girl wore a dress she wore for a previous wedding and we just added a colored sash to it, it worked really well.
Our ring bearer had a little suit which came from a thrift store and my MIL sewed a little band & a bowtie for his outfit to match the flower girl's sash.
It looked super cute =)
I think the basket was also a thrift find and the pillow came from walmart.
I also did not give the ring bearer the actual rings. I just didn't want to give a 3yr-old that responsibility.
So I tied 2 plain rings I had in my costume jewellery to the pillow.
The Maid of Honor and Best Man kept the rings for us on their fingers until the appropriate time in the ceremony.
I think traditionally ring bearers and flower girls are between the age of 4 and 8.
Both of ours were 3 I think.
Their parents also sat crouched at the front of the church so all they had to do was walk to them & a little toy on the step.
They did a really good job =)
They also went first at our wedding.
I think traditionally they usually go just before the bride which has created such a cute idea of them carrying 'here comes the bride signs.'
I am IN LOVE with those. They are the cutest thing!
Anyway too much stinkin cuteness in today's pictures.
Enjoy!
Much Love,

P.S. I couldn't resist showing this cutie in her formal dress. I really hope the Lord blesses us with a girl some day. This outfit is TOO CUTE!
