Flower Girl Practice

When I was a little girl, I was the flower girl in my uncle's wedding. I was probably three or four years old without a clue as to what was happening or what I was supposed to do. I walked down the entire aisle without dropping a single petal. Oops. Over 20 years later, I still think "fawk, what a bad one". Needless to say, that marriage ended in divorce.

I've probably mentioned the fact that we're going to a wedding this weekend a thousand times. I don't know if I've mentioned that V is going to be a flower girl though. I've taken it upon myself to do some practice rounds in our living room so that V doesn't run through the church aimlessly come Saturday.

I used my Cricut to cut out a ton of paper flowers in pink and yellow which were all tossed into an old Easter basket. I folded the majority of the flowers in half to make them easier to grab and give them a little bit of volume in the basket. No Cricut? A bunch of paper squares would probably work just as well.

We've probably done more practice than necessary, to ensure that she doesn't walk down the aisle with out dropping a single petal and remain traumatized for the rest of her life. Thanks mom. (:
