FLOWER GIRL Meaning and
Definition
-
A "flower girl" refers to a young girl, usually between the ages of three and ten, who plays a traditional role in certain ceremonies, particularly weddings. The purpose of the flower girl is to precede the bride down the aisle, often immediately before her, scattering flower petals on the ground as a symbolic gesture of good luck and fertility. The individual petals are typically carried in a small basket or bouquet, which the flower girl holds with both hands. This role can be seen as an endearing and cherished part of the wedding procession that adds an element of innocence and beauty to the event.
The flower girl's attire is often specially chosen to reflect the theme and style of the wedding. She usually wears a white dress, mirroring the bride, adorned with floral accessories, such as a flower crown or a corsage. The outfit is typically completed with appropriate shoes and may include additional accessories like gloves or a small purse. Flowers chosen for scattering can vary based on personal preference or cultural significance, but rose petals are widely used due to their elegance and symbolism.
Apart from weddings, the term "flower girl" might also be used more broadly to refer to a young girl who sells or distributes flowers, or as a representation of young girls participating in floral-themed events or parades. The role of a flower girl remains an integral part of certain ceremonies, both symbolically and aesthetically, showcasing the beauty and purity of youth.
