Bridal flowers are not just for the bride, but also for the flower girls. How many do you have? That’s up to you. You generally have at least one. Then again, do you absolutely have to have one? That’s totally up to you. Anyway, I wanted to explore the different styles of flower girl flowers. The most common style is the basket, like the one below. Funny thing is, I think there is a difference between the flower girl baskets that you commonly see in magazines and the ones my mom did — the flowers. In magazines, movies and such, you usually see the baskets full of rose petals that the flower girl throws on the aisle, for the bride to walk over. But my mom did flower baskets with the flowers staying in the baskets. I know some Catholic churches would prefer the latter, for easier clean up.
And yes, the flower girl above was me. This is circa early 80s, at the very least. And by the looks of things, those flowers are silk, but who knows now.
