Alternatives for flower girl and ring bearer

Good idea!! thanks Sonja!

That's terrific. This is mother/daughter time that will be wonderful memories. Don't forget to get some photos of the two of you working together on the projects.

Oh I have, she helped me do my wedding glasses a couple weeks ago and started on my centerpieces.

Yes, you do need space for DIY stuff. Maybe you can recruit some assistance from you mom too.

I will. Going to work on it next Friday! I'm doing a lot of my DIY stuff at my moms cause she's got more space and a craft table to do things like that at. So much easier than farting around with stuff at home.

That sounds good. Show us a picture when you've finished it.

Our ring bearers just carried the ring boxes up to the BM and MOH. Simple and not extra cost lol.

Oh those are adorable!! I love that!! I might steal that floral hoop idea!! I love the look of it and haven't seen anything like it so far.

We are having our flower girls carry a floral hoop instead of the flower petals. We are having an outdoor ceremony and I just imagine the petals going everywhere in the wind lol.

I like the idea of the wood slab as an alternative to the pillow for the ring bearer! We have a sign for my nephew to carry when he walks down the aisle (pictured below, but ours has twine instead of ribbon), and I have been debating just having him carry that alone instead of with a pillow or anything and just have the best man hold the rings.

I'm going to go with the twine and add in some colored ribbons.

The twine would actually go with my theme since it's a rustic theme. And I have twine and burlap with the decorations.

I'm thinking a piece of raffia or ribbon might look nicer than the twine used in the photo. What do you think?

Yeah that's what I'm doing to but I was going to put in fake rings, I saw a pack of them at michaels for cheap. And the best man gets the rings to take care of cause I'm not leaving rings in the hands of a 3 year old.

I am having my flower girls carry a single rose and the ring bearers are carrying the empty ring boxes (our best man will have the rings).
