12 Jul 27 of the Most Precious Flower Girl and Ring Bearer Moments
Ever hear that old saying “Don’t ever work with children or animals”? W.C. Fields said it first because every actor knows the junior set (and the furry one) always steals the show. We’re not sure if that applies to weddings—not even the cutest of little ones can pull the spotlight off a glowing bride and beaming groom on their Big Day—but we know we sure love what ring bearers and flower girls add to the mix. Enjoy today’s batch of eye candy, a roundup of our favorite snapshots of the youngest of wedding party partiers.
Go on and kiss the girl … even if she might have cooties! Bride Kathryn’s nieces and nephews look like they just might be allergic to the PDA between the new Mr. and Mrs.

Ahh, how we love this special moment between bride Francesca and flower girl Leland. (These two met when Francesca was Leland’s babysitter.) “When she helped me fix my dress and put on my shoes the day of, I was so happy and glad she could partake in my wedding,” Francesca says. “And she almost looked like a little bride herself in her beautiful dress.”

Before you critique his form, consider how much this one wee fellow is tackling all at once: donning a bow tie, keeping suspenders up, and promenading in front of a lot of folks, not to mention keeping up with that ring box and sporting a sign. Whew! Nice work, kiddo. We’re #teamringbearer.

“Both flower girls marched past the aisle and tried to walk into the gardens,” says bride Rachel, “so I guess you could say they really were ready for cake!” Young Adalynn Mae looks like a confection herself in that sea of too-cute tulle.

Knowing these two love trucks, bride Caroline bought toy trucks and put ring pillows in the bed of the pickup for the rings. How special and unique is that? “They are growing up to be little country-boy truck loves,” Caroline says. “They know more about cars than I do!”

While they waited for Sean and Lauren’s “I do’s,” the bride’s niece and nephew, Gabriel and Genevieve, took in Lowndes Grove Plantation from the second-floor piazza.. “They high-fived my husband and I after walking back down the aisle,” says Lauren. “It was like a rite of passage, officially welcoming my husband into the family.” Since then, she confesses, the quartet has their own set of secret handshakes.

All the feels. All of them. Seriously, has there ever been a more purely blissed out flower girl? We’re pretty sure not. Bravo to Elena and John for hosting a wedding that produce not only a union, but also this sweet moment.
