A flower girl is a member in the wedding ceremony. Like ring bearers and page boys, flower girls are usually members of the bride's or groom's extended family, but may also be friends.
Generally, the flower girl walks in front of the bride during the ceremony. Flower girls traditionally spread flower petals before the bride. If the ceremony will not be particularly long, an older child may prefer to quietly stand at the altar with the other honor attendants.
The typical age for a flower girl is between 4 and 8 years of age. Many younger flower girls are "nervous" and might not perform their duties.
There may be more than one flower girl, particularly if the bride has several young relatives to honor.
