Is three to young to be a flower girl in a wedding?

Answers:
My flower girl was three. She was very focused on doing her job, and doing it well. She, was almost walking backwards down the isle to be sure that I was going to be stepping on the rose petals she was scattering on her way towards the alter. She was good and quiet during the ceremony, and more than happy to pose for photos. The only thing that did not go well was getting her to wear the dress shoes. At that point in time her favorite pair of shoes were a pair of sandles that lights blinked on when she walked. I lost that fight, and she wore her blinking sandles as she scattered the rose petals before me, but, I did not mind as you could see how happy she was to have the honor of being the flower girl. She felt like a princess, and I am glad that I gave her the day to feel so important. When someone looks at my wedding pictures, I have a cute story to tell as well.

No, it's not too young. However, you need to realize that at that age, she won't be able to remember her duties.

I believe three is a very good age for a flower girl. She may be too young to "understand" exactly what to do but just give her someone to follow and help along the way (maid of honor). Even if she doesn't do things perfectly it will still be sweet. If it's your wedding do whatever you like. : ) yea if they are cooperate

No, I don't think so. But keep in mind that they may not go through with it! You can't predict what she will do that day! And please don't pressure her to make that walk if she doesn't want to. Go for it just don't get your heart set on a perfect little walk down the aisle and know she will steal the spotlight if she does make it down. Good Luck on the big day! I'm sure she will be adorable.

nope! i was a flower girl when i was 2!

We were married in an outdoor ceremony last September and our flowergirl was barely 2 1/2. She was great coming down the aisle and very cute through the ceremony (about 25min) Quite well behaved I thought. She did not cooperate at all with photos immediately after the ceremony though and she was only in 2 or 3 of them.

firsthand experience its never too young. but the only thins is can she bahave in a situation like this. just tell her face to face complement her and tell her that you got a gift for her for the terrific job she done practice makes perfect so practice with her make it fun and simple.

It really just depends on the kid. If the child can follow directions then shes not too young.

No it's not to young...I think its a good age

If one of your bridesmaids will be responsible for helping her during the ceremony. That way she can't get board and run off or do something distracting like hitting you with her basket. A child of three responds very well to boundaries and guidelines. If it is explained to her what will be expected and what a big girl she is for doing this, she should be fine. depends on the type of child you have. like wild & radical & cant walk across the (average sized) room with out kicking another, or throwing something, or one who has a real loud inside voice & screams for any reason this child would not approiate. not to shy, not one who has 2 have their binky, or bottle attached to her, know kind-of-what I'm sayind, maybe now you can decide yourself is she's ready
