Need some opinions for 2nd wedding & flowers

I am considering not having a formal "bridal" bouquet.  I am thinking of having my girls "walk me" down.  They would each have a bouquet (small) in the hands that are holding mine.  I'm thinking of saving the money on one for me since the "bridesmaid" usually ends up holding it most of the time.  I'm considering only having my girls (12 and 8 but 13 and 9 by the wedding) and no other "official" bridesmaids. 
I am also creating a family unity candle where all 5 of us (he has a son) actually light the candle as a joining of the families.

Thoughts? Opinions?

    I think that's a beautiful plan!

    I especially love the way how your girls will be walking you down.  Brides don't always choose to have bouquets, some hold a rosary or a Bible, too, as long as their hands are somewhat preoccupied by something; in your case, your girls' hands.

    I dont want a bouquet either.... I think its a waste of money. I want a nice wrist cosage that can withstand all the hugging I will be doing. I love all your ideas  of the family unity candle and having your girls walk you down. I dont want any bridesmaids or groomsman either, but this is something I would do if it were my second.... Good luck  :)

    i'm not a big fan of involving your kids in the ceremony beyond having them as bridesmaids/groomsmen, or doing a reading. i mean, a wedding is where a bride and groom say vows and commit themselves to each other. the bride and groom sign the legal documents, ya know? if you want to make the kids feel special, you could give them a special gift (a locket, a watch, etc.) at the rehearsal dinner or reception.

    you don't have to hold a bouquet, you could have a single rose. if money is the concern, just pick a cheaper flower. instead of the popular peony or calla lilly, you could used the more affordable daisy, mum, or baby's breath. also, some people choose to use silk flowers, i've also seen bouquets made out of fabric and buttons.

    I think your idea sounds beautiful! What a great way to include your children. It is a HUGE day for them too, they are gaining a father and a brother. I think your plan sounds just perfect :-)
