I bought these as a souvenir for my two daughters who will be my flowergirls at my wedding. My eldest daughter has had great fun filling in bits of the book before the wedding. Its a really personal momento. Definately recommend
Customer Review: Good Idea, Didn't Work For Me
Since I'm getting married in May, I was really exicted to see this book. It seemed like the perfect idea for my flower girl - a memory book and a 'what to expect' book. And it is a nice book, with beautiful pictures. However, after seeing the book in stores (and thus able to see the full content) I decided not to buy it.
Why? Because some of the text was very specific to the flower girl duties, etc. and it wasn't what was happening in my wedding. My flower girl will not be scattering petals, and I didn't want to create false expectations.
And while the photographs were pretty, they weren't of the wedding she was going to be in - yes there was space to put photos of her in it, but it didn't feel as personal.
I decided to go and make her a personalized flower girl memory book - using a photo album with drop in pages. Some of the pages will be pre-made by me, about what to expect in the wedding, about going to find her dress, about the special signifigance her basket holds (Its the basket I carried in her grandmother's wedding), etc. Other pages will be blank so she and her mom can create them together.
The book of memories is a great idea, it just wasn't meeting my needs.
