Flower Girl Drama

Need opinions... I have 2 flower girls 1 is my 6 yr old daughter, and 1 is my best friends 5 yr old daughter.  Our girls are best friends, and having my friends daughter was my daughters idea.  I am a fan of things looking pretty uniform, but my family feels I am taking away from my daughter, and need to find a way to make her stand out,   My daughter is from a previous relationship, and we fully intend to involve her in the vows portion of the ceremony.  I understand that it is my day, but I have always been the girl who trys to make everyone happy.  I just dont know what to do.

My second flower girl issue is....my church does not allow the girls to toss petals, does anyone have any cute ideas??  before I just go with a simple bouquet for them.

    If they are both flower girls, I think they can match and look 'uniform.' Especially since your daughter will be involved in the vows. Maybe have them walk down the aisle separately?

    Our church doesn't allow us to toss petals either. I have been looking in flower girl pomanders. Check out this site: http://www.etsy.com/search?includes[0]=tags&q=flower+girl+pomander&page=1

    If not, I'm just going with a smaller version of the bridesmaid bouqet.

    My FG carried a pomander as well.  It's going to be fine having both girls.

    My cousin had her son and step-son drive RC cars down the aisle at her wedding.  That might not suit your flower girls but it might give you some ideas =)
    Also if you have two different colors in your wedding, maybe using a dress in each color would seperate the girls enough?? Good Luck!!

    I've seen some really cute photos of flowers girls/ring bearers carring signs that say "Here Comes the Bride."   Pomanders are also super-cute.   

    I like the idea of using different colors for the flower girls -- maybe if you have two wedding colors (say, pink and green), you could have each wear a sash of a different color (one pink wear pink, one wear green).  Otherwise, I don't think you need to (or should do) much to separate out your daughter from the other flower girl.  I would be more worried about the other little girl feeling left out than your daughter not feeling "important enough", especially since your daughter will be taking part in the vow ceremony.

    My flower girls are wearing dresses that are coordinating but not matching (they're my nieces.) My church doesn't allow petals either so they are carrying flower wands with ribbons, like this

    I thought it was more fun and they could keep them to play with after the wedding.

    The other PP's all have good ideas. I just wanted to add that I also do not think you need to make one stand out more than the other. Your daughter knows she is your daughter, no need to emphasize that the other girl is less important or not family etc. If they are best friends your daughter is probably glad to share the day with her. I understand where your family is coming from but it comes across as petty and unnecessary to me.

    For the second issue, do they not allow you to toss any flowers or just real ones? My church said we couldn't toss real flowers but silk flowers would work. You might want to check that out.

    Thank You all so much...I am really feeling more comfortable with thoughts of putting them in similar dresses in different colors.  And I am loving the idea of the wand, and the pomadors...so cute...any other advice is much appreciated!!

    Maybe have your daughter go right before you on her own with a "here comes the bride" sign.. you could have the other carry a pomander or a basket of fresh flowers that match the decor?
