Traditions we love
Little darlings Is there a better role at a wedding than being a flower girl? Okay, so the dresses aren’t always the best – they can be itchy and uncomfortable, especially if you’re more used to dungarees, and borderline hideous at times – and your job can soon pall, especially if you’re expected to stand still for an hour. But think of the upsides. For one thing, you’ll look cute as a bug’s ear – especially if your bride knows what she’s doing, and you luck out on something like this

And your jobs – scattering rose petals down the bridal path, or blowing bubbles – are hardly strenuous. But, best of all, your main task is simply to be adorable. Even if you cry, look lost, drop your petal basket or just sit down randomly in the aisle, you’ll definitely get away with it. As long as you look pretty and precious, the day is yours…
