The flower girls is usually aged between fourand eight years old. At some weddings she may scatter flower petals in front of the bride.

She may sit with her mother in the church (if she is really young) until just before the bridal procession is ready to leave.

If she is slightly older she will sit with the bridesmaids during the ceremony. But be aware that the younger they are the more unpredictable they can be, and may refuse to walk down the aisle on the day.

So it may be wise to choose the older child, or be prepared to accept that she may refuse and in this case you will have to go without her.
If you have very young children in your bridal party, ask the parents to help their child practice at home before the wedding.
