Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
My church did allow the flower petals either, but we did it anyway.
Not sure why they would not want an aisle runner. I would ask for an explaination on that one.

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
They probably are worried that people may trip over the isle runner. (that is what we were told) Did you ask if your flowergirl could throw fake petals?

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
My church has basically the same rules. You should definitely still have a FG. She can carry a kissing ball or a basket of flowers or a small bouquet.

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
You can still have a FG, why not just have her carry a basket?

I haven't booked my church yet because i have time but i looked online at their rules and they don't want aisle runners (because of "safety reasons", flower girl petals or anything being thrown outside..so my ceremony is gonna be very boring...but i'm still having a flowergirl..because they're just so darn cute! if you still want to have a flowergirl you could have her carry a basket with a mini bo-k inside it..or give her a bo-k like the bm's have?

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
reason why a church wouldn't allow flower petals to be tossed is because it would stain the floor or carpet. it's a huge hassle to clean it up. what you could do - that's if you still want petals tossed is to go for fake petals. it'll create the same image and will look great. the petals will get stepped on and the fake petals will still hold its color.

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
ive just always thought of rose petals being scattered by the flower girl before i come down the aisle..thats what ive always envisioned for my wedding....its not like shes going to throw 29384348348 petals..shes going to be 4...her little hands might be able to throw 2 at a time for a grand total of 30 tops! i think im going to ask the priest why they dont allow it, and then beg..maybe they will go for the fake petals thing..i already have those from my e-party

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
I heard of this and someone on here gave the flower girls some whole roses to hand to every other or every third person sitting in the pews.

Re: church wont let my flower girl throw petals!
I've been to weddings where the FG just walks down the aisle with her basket or a
Bo-K. Its still cute.
