Why do Flower Girls Throw Petals While Walking Down the Aisle?

Regardless of why they do, it's quite a lovely tradition, isn't it? I've read various musings about how the tradition started and why it even exists. Perhaps the sweetest is that, by preceding the bride while dropping colorful flower petals, the flower girl is ensuring that the bride's final walk as a single woman is a cheerful and beautiful event.

Some cultures also feel that, by decorating the aisle with rose petals, the flower girl is bestowing upon the happy couple the blessing of many happy children.

Many, many lovely items have decorated wedding aisles but I'd only just learned of delicate little paper snowflakes being gently tossed by the flower girl. And - even prettier - sparkly glittered snowflakes! A new friend asked me to make her hundreds of small, glittered paper snowflakes in the colors of her wedding decor. First of all, I am overwhelmingly flattered to be a part of such a special occasion. But I also think this is the most darling idea I've heard in ages!

Imagine the beauty of sparkly little snowflakes as they catch the light while gently floating to the ground. Too lovely!

Sweet wishes to you ♥
