Fun Ideas for Flower Girls and Ring Bearers - Mensatic

If a couple planning a wedding is having a flower girl and/or ring bearer, they make their role in the wedding a high point with these fresh choices for their attire as well as fun ways to walk down the aisle.

Flower Girl Dresses

• Attach a long sash to the back of flower girl’s dress that will feel like a train. Rosebuds can cover where the sash meets the waistline of the dress. This will look beautiful as she makes her way down the aisle.
• Have the flower girl wear pink or white satin ballet shoes that lace up the leg.
• Consider a knitted or crocheted flower girl’s dress with a white satin slip dress underneath.
• A flower girl would probably love to wear a faux jeweled tiara. Personalized tiaras with the girl’s name are even available.
• The flower girl could have her hair pulled up into a high ponytail, with small flowers interwoven throughout the hair.

Ring Bearer Outfits

• As an alternative to the traditional tuxedo, have the ring bearer wear knickers and suspenders, a velvet vest and pants or a seersucker suit.
• A cute outfit for a very young male ring bearer, especially for a couple having a summer or beach wedding, is a sailor’s outfit.
• Stylize the ring bearer with a newsboy cap.

Flower Girl and Ring Bearer Baskets, Pillows and Other Ideas

• A ring bearer doesn’t necessarily have to be boy, it could be a young girl. She could wear a dress similar to the bridesmaids or flower girls or she could wear a small tuxedo.
• If the ring bearer is too young to walk down the aisle, let him pedal a miniature metal car down the aisle, decorated with a “Just Married” sign.
• The ring bearer can carry the rings on something besides a traditional pillow, such as a wooden box with the bride and groom's names and the date engraved, a silver tray, a decorative plate or a small white bible.
• For a beach wedding, have the ring bearer carry the rings in a large conch shell.
• Instead of having the ring bearer walk down with the flower girl, have him either directly in front of the bride or trail behind the bride, with the rings held prominently.

Whether they are dressed in a sailor's suit or wearing a faux tiara, ring bearers and flower girls will definitely make a statement at the wedding.
