I am the maid of honor and have been asked for help by the bride. Due to family politics, a 3-year old girl will be in the ceremony against the bride’s will. She does not want flowers thrown, but doesn’t know what else to have the little girl do. The wedding is a Caribbean destination wedding on the beach. Any suggestions?

Well, since it’s a Caribbean wedding on the beach, the little girl can be barefoot, in a simple, lightweight gown with a basket of shells or wrist corsage in lieu of the traditional flower basket. Ahead of time, the girl can scatter rose petals, help with decoration as a tiny partner to the bridesmaids. Why couldn’t she give out the ceremony papers, like the ones with the songs/time outline of ceremony schedule. This will give the girl a part, but not disrupt the ceremony or steal attention away from all the other elements of the wedding.

It’s her wedding, her day. She is the bride! She should tell her family to stuff it.

maybe the ll girl can just walk past, with the flower basket in her hand.

do her up as a miniature bride with all the accompanying doodads… train , veil, bouquet, etc….. let her walk down the aisle ahead of everyone else….. then have someone whisk her away and out of that outfit…. then the maids and the bride will have the restof the show to themselves and the kid will get her share of oohs and ahhs, too…..
