Encorporating 8 Year Old Daughter In Wedding

Have her light the unity candle instead of your mom. Or have her as a a bridesmaid. Just because she is 8 doent mean that she has to be the flower girl.

A wedding book attendant is an idea.

Hi Denise,
I am a wedding photographer and I have a few ideas for you.
Think about it, a large part of feeling special in a wedding is getting all dressed up and feeling "pretty".

Have your daughter`s dress be specially made for her. Now, during the procession, you can have her walk the isle right before you come in, carrying a prominent flower arrangement which she would place at the altar as a center piece.

Another version is for her to be waiting at the altar for you. Once you reach the altar, you will hand her your bouquet for the duration of the ceremony. Just before you walk down the isle with your husband, she would then hand you back your bouquet and follow right after you.

The last idea has worked well with girls who are not shy. Again, giving her a prominent order of involvement.
Just before your turn to walk up to the altar, have her and her best friend (Optional) take a pretty basket full of white tulle (one each), and have them loop the white tulle around each pew of the church as they walk up the isle toward the altar.
It gives them a special part, it adds decorative tones to the procession, and she has a friend to do this with.

Love to help, let me know

Well I have a 8 year son and 6 year old daughter. My daughter is going to be my jr Bride and my son is going to walk with her. She will even wear the same dress as me with the veil and tiera.

Thank everyone for such great ideas. I went to my first bridal show last week and took her with me. She was so great looking at everything and telling me what she liked and didn`t like.

Hi, well, I have a nice option. To give her a Unity Pendant. If you like I can email you a picture of what it looks like. Essentially, it`s involving her in the wedding & bringing the new spouse into the family and making the family one. Please email me and I will get the pictures out to you.

Another option is to have her give your hand to your new husband. Have her be part of who gives this woman to this man...have he stand and your father could say her daughter, mom and I.
