While mine is female she is actually 21. We all like to joke how our wedding is gonna have a flower girl that is legal.

NOT male flower girl . . . Male flower GUY!

Flower Guys add an entertaining twist to the conditioned same old same old. Especially with a guy that looks to be as much fun as the lovable character in the colorful photo.

You've certainly got me intrigued!

I love this! We're having a 29 year old woman be our flower gal. It's awesome to see variations on the tradition!
Those puppets are BANANAS (in a good way).

My 26 year old brother is so about to be asked to be my flowerguy (he was always going to be a bridesboy, this is even better!).
Bailey said
My fiance was the flower girl at our friends wedding. It really happened because they realized at the last minute that they had rose petals to put down the aisle but no way to get them their. So he shoved them into his pockets and the rest is very very funny history!

Glad to see you back Ariel.

My mom has a running joke with my teenage cousin – she's going to be the flower girl at his wedding. My dad was kind of a flower girl when he had to carry my terrified 4 year old self down a church aisle many years ago! He didn't have as much fun as this guy did, though!
Emma said
It helps if the guy is hot like this one.
What a fun idea!
Ariel said
Emma, I think more than the hotness it's the playfulness. This wouldn't work with a sulky emo 15-year-old hiding behind his bottle-black bangs.
…or actually, that would be fucking hilarious. I TAKE IT BACK! Bring on the emo flower boys at goth weddings!
Michelle said
This completely fucking RULES! I love how fun this is.
Now I wish I had a flower-dude at my wedding.

That flower girl is me! I loved the opportunity to be a part of my friends' wedding in such an unconventional way. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

My last comment was incomplete and unconventional…
Bobby and Claire are such fun, open minded people. Their wedding was perfect representation of that and it proved memorable not just to the wedding party but also the guests and everyone involved.
Having been a flower girl is a nice thing to have on a resume.

Yay, Dana! After perusing Dana-the-flower-girl's website, I'm pleased to announce that he's single!

How long before he gets snapped up?
Tiffany @Weddiquette said
How freaking cute! LOL I would bid on him anyday…
Drea said

rachel said
props to the photographer!
Dana Jay Bein said
Wow! Hot, playful, fun loving… I want a piece of that guy myself!
(I sort of know him… I'll tell him about all of your generous compliments)
BTW – the photographer was amazing.
(I mean, so I hear.)
Emma said
Ha! This comment string is hilarious. Dana, if I wasn't taken myself, you'd be in trouble. I LOVE the idea and love the shots, too. I also agree; great moment between the photographer and the participant in order to capture the energy and happiness of that moment. Fantastic all around.

I'm trying to get my fiance friend to fly in from Germany for our wedding (as a surprise wedding gift for my FI). If he comes, he is SO the perfect flower guy. It's so on!!!
Bracket said
Totally impressed – the lightheartedness of it, the joy of everyone around him, his huge grin – awesome!! Apparently he's a Bostonian, I wonder if he'd come be the flower boy at my wedding….
