Poems

The Roadside Chapel

Jane and Norman are going steady
Now are planning their wedding
They decided to wed 
At a roadside chapel
Off a country road
Their minister will 
Do the ceremony

Jane will have bridesmaids
A flower girl or two
Maids of honor will lead
Then the bride will follow
Walking slow to the groom
She is teary eye with joy

Photos taken outdoors
In front of the chapel 
People gather to watch
Phots are taken 
On a bright sunny day
Small groups groups gather
   to chat
Before leaving the chapel

Wedding Bells Blues

Married by a de-frocked priest
[the folks didn't have a clue ]
the day was mostly sunny,
the geese were quaking too!

My groom it seems was fretin'
but my brother well [he knew ]
Mary Jane was just the thing
to go with cheese fondue!

Pond side, down garden path
the flower girl was crying
the ring bearers pillow dropped
the brides maids were sighing!

Missing Mom finally showed,
her ex in tow with tootsie
what delight, what painful fright
and me the raving beauty!

What a day, that 26th of May
I should have guessed, you know
when the wedding suites' door
stuck, they gave us free bordeaux.

Flower Girl

Flower Girl
Special day
Gentle curl
Fragrant bouquet
Soft spoken words
Adorned with lace
Seed for the birds
Smiles crown her face

A Perfect Wedding

In a wedding that is perfect,
It has a beautiful bride
A beautiful dress,
A perfect appearance
 
She feels perfect
She entered with perfect neatness
She walks perfectly in her dress
Her groom is dressed in perfection
 
In a perfect wedding
The flower girl is decorated beautifully 
She accompanied with a perfect thought in her mind, 
Of a perfect wedding for herself
She loves the beautiful dress of the bride
She loves and adores, the walk of the bride 
She feels the bride is perfect in apperance

Flower Girl In Blue

Romantic-minded, young flower girl in delicate chiffon blue
Flipped her dainty lace petticoats up; her name was Lu. 
Her lively hands kept touching the embroidered flowers.
She was excited about the wedding and all the showers

Overview

A flower girl can bring a small, bright pause to a wedding procession. Whether she walks with careful concentration, scatters petals, carries a posy, or simply makes her way toward the couple, her part often feels tender because it is both ceremonial and wonderfully human.

Poetry about a flower girl works best when it notices specific details: a basket held in two hands, shoes tapping down the aisle, a shy glance toward family, or petals landing in unexpected places. The poem may be playful, affectionate, or quietly reflective. It can welcome her into the ceremony, thank her for taking part, or preserve the moment in a keepsake she can read years later. Avoid asking the child to represent perfection or innocence; instead, celebrate her individuality, courage, curiosity, and unique way of joining the day.

Meaning and Symbolism

In wedding poetry, the flower girl may symbolize welcome, movement, and the beginning of a shared passage. Her place near the start of the procession can suggest that love is entering a new season, while flowers may evoke beauty, growth, and the fleeting nature of a single day.

Her meaning need not be solemn. A missed step, an overturned basket, or a sudden wave can remind everyone that a ceremony is alive rather than perfectly staged. Because roles and customs vary among families and cultures, write from the wedding in front of you. Let the child’s actual personality and chosen role shape the symbol, rather than relying on a universal meaning.

Wedding Poem Writing Ideas

Build the poem around details that belong to the child and the ceremony:

  • Follow her path: Describe the walk from the first step to her arrival, noticing movement, expression, and sound.
  • Focus on one object: Use her basket, bouquet, ribbon, or handful of petals as the poem’s central image.
  • Include her personality: Show her confidence, shyness, humor, curiosity, or determination through a specific action.
  • Write a thank-you: Address her directly and tell her how her presence added warmth and character to the day.
  • Create a future keepsake: Write from the couple’s perspective, preserving details she may enjoy remembering when she is older.

Sample Wedding Poem Lines

Petals followed your footsteps like bright notes in a song.
You held the little basket as carefully as a promise.
Down the aisle you came, brave smile leading the way.
One petal missed the path and made the moment ours.
You opened the ceremony with flowers, wonder, and your own steady light.
