Book Description

May 1, 1999
A wedding is one of life's major ceremonies and, in many weddings, the flower girl plays an integral part. To reassure and prepare the flower girl for her performance, author Arlene Hamilton Stewart, a wedding historian and etiquette expert, has written a charming book that will also capture each moment of wedding day glory. Stewart offers advice on selecting a dress, styling hair, choosing accessories, posing for photographs, and staying cool on the receiving line while greeting guests. Beautiful photographs show flower girls from the ages of two to twelve, at formal and casual weddings, in moments both planned and spontaneous, reflecting all the fun and excitement of this wonderful ritual.

Special tulle envelopes sewn into the book are designed to hold photographs, the wedding invitation, flowers from the bouquet, hair ribbons, and other mementos. Thus, this book, at once an informative guide to preparations, also becomes a keepsake volume to treasure for years to come and a token of affection from every bride.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Everyone's witnessed the dreaded flower-girl episode: little girl wandering the aisle, little girl bursting into tears, little girl pausing to wave at each pew. Flower girls are often the showstopper in more ways than one--so much so that nowadays many bridal guides advise against including them in the ceremony. But au contraire: Thank Heaven for Flower Girls celebrates all the freshness the little ones add to a wedding, and even facilitates your dream flower-girl scene by taking on the duty of prepping them for every aspect of the big event. Describing everything from the search for the right dress ("be patient," it admonishes, "you may have to try on many before finding the perfect one") to proper manners, the art of scattering petals, and what on earth a best man and maid of honor are, this book is the perfect gift for your favorite flower girl. Special tulle pouches on the inside covers are ready-made for mementos, and the sweet bow that ties the whole package together is sure to make it a keepsake. The confusion this book may well alleviate--and the treasured memories it will hold--make it your first best thought toward flower-girl contentment--that is, if you can resist the darling pictures causing you to keep it for yourself! --Courtenay Kehn

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST fun book for every Flowergirl!, September 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thank Heaven for Flower Girls (Hardcover)
If you are planning your wedding, this is a MUST book to give to your flower girls upon honoring them with your invitation to join your wedding party. It explains exactly how "special" they are to the bride and groom, how important their addition is to the wedding party, and takes them through every step to your wedding day from the first bridal shower to the ceremony, to the reception. Recommended reading for every flower girl to read or to be read to.
