Origin of the word flower girl

The term "flower girl" has its origins in traditional English wedding customs. During the Middle Ages, children -- often flower vendors -- would scatter flowers along the path leading to the wedding ceremony. This custom, known as "petaling," symbolized good luck and purity, and was meant to honor the bride and celebrate the joyous occasion. Over time, the role of the flower vendor evolved into that of a honored attendee, who would now accompany the bride down the aisle, scattering petals in her wake. The term "flower girl" came to denote this special role in the wedding ceremony, and is still commonly used today.
