This is junebride's Blue Wedding!

I don't know how many flower girls are too many, but I may have 3 or 4. Maybe I'll have one be a town crier instead, (the one who says"The bride is coming, the bride is coming...!"). I am only having one ring bearer. However, my guest list is growing and really can't afford to have everyone bring their entire family. Is it really bad to have those kids, as well as a few others in my immediate family come, but on my invitation say 'adults only reception'?

I am planning on doing my wedding bouquet a little different. My co-worker shared how her daughter go married and had special people give her a flower as she walked down the aisle, instead of carrying a bouquet. I thought that was a great idea, and to go a step futher I thought it was a great way to honor those that are there with me in spirit. I am thinking of having about 3-4 people, starting with my dad and ending with my mom, to give me a long stemmed flower as I walk down the aisle in memory of my grandmother, aunt, uncle, and my htb's grandmother and cousin. I wanted to do something special for them, and feel this is a special way to honor their memory. For my posed wedding pictures, I was thinking of having another bouquet made with artificial flowers. The only thing I'm worried about is getting really emotional!!! Has anyone else seen this before or planning on doing anything different with their bouquet?
