    I've also seen girls with wee teddy's or dolls in outfits matching theirs (usually made up by skillful aunt or granny!) - can be nice to remember the day long after they have grown out their outfit...

    You beat me to it....17 years ago my friend's 5 year old niece carried a bear wearing 'her' dress (even had it's own circle of flowers on it's head). She now has that teddy with her at uni :)

    Ill always remember at a family wedding the flower girl was 4 (ish) and walked up the aisle with her basket of flowers but didn't sprinkle them. When she got the the top the mother of the bride whispered to her ('you havent sprinkled any darling'). She turns around and goes 'oops, sorry' (loud enough for us all to hear) and dumps all of them in a pile right there :)

    SO FUNNY!

    And forgot to mention, our flower girls are having mini bouquets.

    As we're having tulips they only have like 5 flowers in theirs :)

    I'm making my own sparkly wands to fit with the colour scheme and toying of putting a single foam rose in the centre but not quite decided on that one yet....plenty of time to change my mind may times! If I manage to get one finished I'll post a pic on here!
