Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
My FH's nephew, and only option for ring bearer, is a MONSTER. Because of this the FH has decided not to have a ring bearer (which I'm perfectly fine with). We are having an adults only reception and don't want to give the family any reason to bring this child. Now, can I get away with not having a flower girl?

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
No, there is no need for a fg. I've been to many wedding w/ no fg/rb. Most churches don't even allow petals to be thrown.

No. It's not necessary.

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
It's your wedding, you can do whatever you want. The only people required at a wedding are the birde, the groom, a witness, and someone to perform the ceremony - everyone else is window dressing!

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
Thank you - I didn't think I had to, but when I mentioned it to my mother, who's been pretty laid back throughout this process, I thought she was going to have a heart attack!

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
We're not having a FG. I've been to plenty of weddings where there wasn't a FG. If you don't want to have one, then don't.

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
It would have been nice, I would've liked to have asked my god daughter, but I DEFINATELY don't want my FHs nephew there as RB and I don't see how I can do 1 without the other....without starting WWIII that is!

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
of course you can. it's your wedding -- that means you do what you want.
As another wise LIW bride told me - and this is the funniest, best thing I ever heard:
If you want to take pictures upside down, DO IT.
If you want to carry a lobster down the aisle while your BM carry shrimp cocktail DO IT.
It's your wedding. nobody else. your day to shine.

Re: Do I have to have a Flower Girl?
I'm not having one either. One of my BMs has a daughter who would be the perfect age for it but, we talked about it and she would rather not have to worry about her at all (since they are from OOT). Some people I know don't really seem to understand it but, of all the weddings I've been to, the flower girls have mainly been nieces and we don't have any!
