The Flower Girl Gets Married
Once upon a long time ago, I was the flower girl. It was the wedding of my aunt and uncle. I still remember feeling important in my floor-length, multi-colored floral dress, rising to the challenge of dropping the oh-so-important flower petals down the aisle that my aunt, the bride, would soon walk.
Several years later, I went from being the flower girl to the bride. And my aunt had a daughter who would perform the distinguished role of “flower girl” in my wedding.
And only days ago, my flower girl got married, because that’s what flower girls tend to do.
And this time, the bride may have set a record in having the most little attendants a wedding ever saw. (Two of the little ones and one of the big ones belong to me.)
It was a breathtakingly beautiful day on a mountaintop in North Carolina. And far too inspiring not to share with you all. So I picked out a few of my favorite shots of the day…
{I loved this picture of my grandmother with my grandad who was watching us from Heaven that day.}
The flowers were gorgeous…
The food was delish {loved the mashed potato bar}…
And the people were some of my faves…
Congratulations, Josh and Victoria!

Beautiful! Loved all the pics. The soft colors were so pretty. How sweet that their letters made up some of the decor.

What a gorgeous setting! Haven't weddings come such a long way since we got married?

Yes! It's no more brass candelabra & tons of tulle. Everything is so creative now!

The most breathtakingly beautiful REAL wedding (not one staged for a TV show or photo shoot)! I was taken aback by the picture of the sweeties carrying the "Here Comes The Bride" signs. The love and celebration of this day is evident. Congrats to "The Flower Girl"!

Absolutely gorgeous – everything from the bride to the dress to the flowers to the setting to those sweet attendants! Thanks for sharing this special event 🙂 Makes me smile all over to see these pictures and takes me back to my own wedding almost 25 years ago. I was a flower girl once upon a time too 🙂

What beautiful little girls, what a sweet idea to use the signs in the procession too. I feel for the little ring bearer though!
I attended a wedding years ago where there were about 15 or so little girls in attendance. There were so many little girls between their families they let them all walk down the aisle. The church had a beautiful half-circle platform with stairs all around it. The girls sat sweetly all along the stairs through the ceremony. It was beautiful – the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended.
I love weddings, thanks for sharing.
