Make way for the Flower Grandpa

Forget flower girls — meet the Flower Grandpa, and a fun way to bring an older family member into your ceremony.

Love and Thunder

You’ve heard of flower girls, maybe even flower dudes... but have you met the Flower Grandpa?

He’s got style. He’s got moves. And he’s got a basket full of petals.

Whether he struts, shuffles, or throws petals like he’s feeding the chooks, there’s something ridiculously heart-melting about a grandad stepping into this role.

It’s joyful and often unexpected. And it’s a beautiful way to honour someone who’s been around long enough to know that love—real love—is worth celebrating.

So if you're planning your wedding and looking for a way to get your special people involved, don’t stop at the kids. Tap that fabulous elder in your family on the shoulder, you know the one who loves a bit of mischief and tell him it’s time to shine.

Because tradition is lovely - but laughter and love are even better!

Got a question I haven't answered?

Ask me directly. I'd rather have a real conversation than write another blog post.
