There are no little girls in my or my fiance's family or group of friends. My grandma jokingly said "I'll be your flower girl" and I actually really liked the idea of her being in the ceremony, so we decided to actually do it. She said that she's honored and seems really excited to have a part.
The only thing is, I'm not sure what to have her do. Obviously I don't want her wearing some poofy dress and dropping petals, so I need to come up with something else.
I was thinking about having the people at the end of the row by the aisle hold out a flower to her, and she will collect them and put them into a vase at the front. Then we can do a flower exchange (rather than a unity candle since we'll be outside), and we can each take a flower from the vase and give it to each other's mothers.
What do you think - good idea? Have any better ideas?
