Flower Girl Ideas...?

So my wedding is in less than 3 weeks and I'm kind of stuck on what to have our flower girl carry down the aisle. The ring bearer is carrying a porcelain plate that says "We Do" and I wanted something unique for the flower girl as well.

Any ideas??

    If you don't want them scattering petals, how about a pomander?

    Seriously, of all the areas to be "unique" about your wedding, this is the last one I'd choose since no one's going to pay that much attention or remember what you did.  Just some food for thought.

    I guess 'unique' isn't really the right word to use there. And my fault I should have specified here..I just wanted to do something different than just a flower basket for her. But I think a pomander would be a cute idea : )

    basket, teddy bear, doll, other stuffed animal, cute little purse, pomander, small bouquet, fan, lantern, muff, although I don't know how "unique" any of them are.

    I agree with brooke:  I wouldn't put my efforts into worrying too much about what an FG carries, but that's your call.

    ETA:  left my post in the middle of writing it and didn't get a chance to read your reply before I hit post.  Hope you find something you like.

    I like the tiny bouquets, and the head wreaths of fresh flowers. If I had a flower girl that's what I would've given her.

    Our church didn't allow tossing petals, and I wasn't sure I wanted that anyways so it made my mind up for me.  I had a pomander made for my flower girl, as well as a matching flowered head piece for her that had pink ribbons down the back.  This is her coming down the aisle, but you can't see the ribbon in the back.

    Aww thanks!  I'm disgusted to say that I spent more on her flowers than her dress cost.  That was only $20, I think I spent $40 on both flower things.  But I loved them and thought she was so adorable so I wouldn't change it.

    We did petal cones. I don't like the baskets on the market.

    Meh, that's just because $20 is inexpensive. I just don't get the FG dresses that are like $100+ (I, a grown woman, don't even buy dresses that much that are $100+) unless you/FG's parents have money to burn.

    Mine is carrying a small bouquet. I've also seen flower girl wands.
