The flower girl sets the tone of your wedding theme, telling your guests what to expect. From your invitations, pre-nuptial parties, wedding website, and word-of-mouth, your guests will come anticipating something different than the usual American wedding.

They will have seen the groom and his men, possibly the fathers, maybe even the minister, in various tartans. The pew decorations and altar flowers will most likely not be the usual pastel wedding colors. There may even be an altar cloth of tartan, a bridal concomitant, a heraldic design, your clan badge, or other Scottish motifs.All this has piqued their interest, and then, here comes your flower girl or girls, giving them one more clue of how this Scottish wedding theme idea works. Their dresses, baskets, shoes, ribbons and bows, and headpieces will all add to your theme.
Tying their wedding dresses in with your historical period, they will be wearing anything from Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian (Baroque, Rococo, American Civil War), Edwardian, or Modern fashion.
Their wedding gowns may be ready-made, home sewn, or custom-designed. The fabric may be fine silk, damask or brocade, wool or silk tartan, or even cotton.
Instead of rose petals, they may strew traditional wheat, tartan confetti, or wildflowers.
Whatever ideas you select, just keep them in tone with your overall Scottish wedding theme and use this opportunity to build further on your theme.
