I am so excited that we are able to have a flower girl and a ring bearer at our wedding! Our adorable flower girl and ring bearer are Mr. Buttons' niece and nephew. I couldn’t be more excited about planning their part in our day!
Although I think it is very cute to have a flower walk down the aisle, scattering flower petals…I'm not sure if it is in the cards. Since she is on the young side (she will be 3 1/2 at our wedding), I figure it might be easier for her to simply hold something while she walks down the aisle, rather than holding a basket AND throwing petals.
Enter…the pomander!
I think a pomander (or, as some call it, a “kissing ball”) will be the perfect accessory for our flower girl to make her trek down the aisle! I love that it has a loop that she can either hold, or we can put around her wrist like a bracelet!
Also, another plus is the DIY aspect! I priced out a pomander at the florist and gasped in horror! Plus, I imagine a pomander of real flowers would be easily destructible. So, I am opting to make this as one of my projects! I have seen numerous blog posts from other brides who created their own pomanders, and I am going to join the ranks!
What do you think about using a pomander for the flower girl, as opposed to the traditional basket with petals?
If I was having a little flower girl I'd wait till a sale on Micheals flowers and get some cute ones... the carnations today looked GORGEOUS I was tempted!!! You ARE on the Michaels email list right?
ReplyDeleteI made a pomander for my flower girl to carry! Just be careful on the size, I'd recommend going a size smaller for the styrofoam than you would think, they really fill out when you add the flowers!!
ReplyDeleteI made my own pomanders from fake daisies I got at Hobby Lobby. They turned out great! We used them as aisle decorations, but I love the idea of the flower girl carrying one.
