Bridesmaids in Place of Flower Girl

Me and my fiance decided to have an adult only wedding, and therefore we also decided to be fair to those with kids who would be insulted, that we will not have a flower girl or ring barer. So instead of a flower girl I decided it would be cute if my bridesmaid each tossed a handful of flower petals, but this is where I am at a standstill... I was thinking they would each carry a small basket in place of a bouquet - but I still want to include flowers, i was thinking perhaps they could each wear a corsage, or the basket can be decorated with some flowers... but still I am not sure... any suggestions or thoughts?

    It's completely acceptable to have BMs and no flower girl. Please just let your attendants carry their bouquets and be BMs, and do not attempt to make them into flower girls.

    I was a bridesmaid for a friend who gave us handfuls of silk rose petals just before we walked out, so we could scatter them down the aisle.

    Let me tell you that grown women do not appreciate being impromptu flower girls just because the bride wants to walk down the aisle on a bed of rose petals.  It was pretty embarrassing and most of us didn't scatter them evenly down the aisle.  The maid of honor just dropped them all at once.

    I agree with all PPs!  Please do not make your BMs toss petals down the aisle and/or carry small baskets.  If I was one of them I would be completely humiliated.  I understand that you are having an adults only wedding, however, the guests will not be upset if you have a ring bearer and flower girl in your wedding...when having an adult only wedding these are the only two exceptions to the no kids rule that is OK to make.

    Okay, I understand that it may become embarrassing for some although my girls didn't seem to mind when I asked them what they thought.... AND Its certainly not about walking on a bed roses, I'm not one of those brides.

    I was just thinking that it could be a cute alternatve type thing, but I can see the negatives, thank you girls for your input!
