How to get flower girl down the “aisle” of sand for a beach wedding?
Need help with women?
Here are 3 things that you must know about meeting women:
1. You must learn to act with complete and total confidence... Even if you aren't naturally confident around women, it CAN be learned, and a lot faster than you might think.
2. You must understand how women REALLY think, and what it takes to build REAL attraction Read more...
A wedding at the beach in August. 3 flowers girls, 6, 3 and 9 months. The 9 month old will not be walking, most likely. How do we get her down the sand "aisle" for the wedding? Can’t use a wagon or stroller, won’t roll on the sand.
I thought this was a place for answers to questions, not opinions about my choices. Thank you to those who took me seriously. The bride has 2 nieces, the groom has one. The bride doesn’t want to leave out the groom’s niece, who is the 9 month old. There is no one else in the bridal party, no bridesmaids, groomsmen, it’s a small affair. So yes, the flower girl part is more of a gesture, but a sweet one on the bride’s party. Bec, where would you find a sand sled, do you think? Not sure if I have seen one before.
I believe the 3 year old will walk ok with the 6 year old b/c it is her sister, and she follows her around all the time anyway. 
We had already considered having the mom of the 9 month old carry her down, I was just hoping someone could think of something creative, outside the box, that we had not considered. I don’t think the 6 year old would be able to carry the little one, not without possibility of mishap! It may not seem practical, but something that the bride wants to do if at all feasible. If not, then of course it will come down to just including her in pictures. But I was hoping to figure something out before August!

I think you should get a watertoy innertube. They make them in baby size with "bottoms" on them. Try and find one in the brides colors. They are really inexpensive, so if it doesn’t work out, you aren’t out a lot (and the baby can still have fun later with it)
Sit the baby in it, tie a ribbon/rope to the handles, and have the 6 year old gently pull her down the sand aisle. Have the 3 year old walk behind to watch (just in case baby starts getting squirmy). Decorate the tube with ribbon streamers.
Get it at least a day in advance and help the kids practice.
I know the innertube is cheap plastic, but it’s cute for the baby, useful afterwards, and it really fits right in with the beach. People will love it.
why do you need to have a 9 month old flower girl? if anything i guess the 6 year old can carry her.
sand sled?…decorate it with flowers and stuff
Have someone walk the baby down the aisle and put her in a stroller at the end of the aisle…decorate the stroller with flowers..everyone will get the idea. Kinda silly to have a baby in the wedding party, but hey..good luck.
Have a bridesmaid or the mother of the child carry her down the aisle behind the 6 and 3 year old. Also, you will have a hard time getting the 3 year old down the aisle too, unless you get them to walk with the 6 year old.
Perhaps the Bride should rethink her choices, have only the 6 year old walk, and just have the other two little girls available for pictures.
I would say that the Maid of Honor will probably need to get both the 3 year old and 6 month old down the aisle, but since you don’t have one, it could be an issue.
While the gesture is a "sweet" gesture, it’s probably not going to work out as wonderfully as you’d like it to. Unless the 3 year old is really into it, she’s probably not going to willingly go down the aisle. Forget about the 9 month old, she’s not getting down the aisle on her own, on your time schedule, and is really too young to be in a wedding, except for pictures.
If at all possible, have the mother of the 9 month old sit at the end of the isle( she can return to her seat after she makes it down). She can kind of coax the little girl down the isle because she will see a familiar face and it’s more comforting. If that’s not possible, have the 6 year old walk alone then have the 3 year old and the 9 month old walk together.I think the 9 month old will be adorable because they are usually so round and cute at that age. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. She may start crying while walking but I don’t think people will mind. Just have her mom scoop her up and carry her the rest of the way. Good luck!
My sister in law just had one of her brides maids carry her down the isle. The others should be big enough to walk. I know it’s not much but good luck and hope it helps.
