A flower girl is part of a wedding procession that who follows or precedes the bride and groom, as they all walk down the aisle toward the altar. Generally, a flower girl is a close relative or a friend of the bride and groom, and is aged between 4 and 8. She carries a bouquet of roses or a basket of flower petals, showering them on the floor as the wedding procession move along. Once the procession has reached the altar, the dress may choose to stay closely behind the bride and groom, or to go back in audience and be seated near to the stage.
It is not necessary that there be just one girl, several young girls can be bestowed with this role, and this is actually common at several elaborate weddings. The male partner of a girl is the page boy, and generally, the dress and page boy may be dressed to walk in the wedding procession as a couple, donned in similar versions of the bride's and groom's attire.
