But if anyone comes close to stealing the show, it\u2019s the flower girl. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flower girl is typically the last person to walk up the aisle before the bride, tossing flowers as she goes. Traditionally, the flower girl is a young girl between the ages of four and eight. But there\u2019s no need to stick to tradition. Choose a young boy, a group of kids, or even your dog. Instead of having them toss flowers, have them blow bubbles, carry a lantern, or hold a sign announcing the bride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you decide, just beware: it might be the cutest thing that happens that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re worried about stage fright, seat the flower girl\u2019s parents near the front of the aisle so they can encourage her onward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While definitely not mandatory, having a wedding party is a great way to honor your most important people. Take some time with your partner to learn about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/whos-who-in-wedding-party\/\">traditional roles of the wedding party<\/a>. Think about if and how those traditions are important to you, and who you want to stand beside you on your big day.
