The flower girl is usually between four and eight years of age. Her duties are to attend the rehearsal and to carry a basket of flower petals or a floral hoop while she walks down the aisle. Her place in the procession is immediately in front of the bride. If there are two flower girls, they may walk side by side or one in front of the other. 

If she is very young, the flower girl does not have to stand with the bridal party throughout the service: instead, she may sit with her parents. At the end of the ceremony, the flower girl follows the bride and groom in the recessional out of the church.
