    I ordered a flower girl basket from Etsy and it is beautiful but really small. My flower girl is 5 and my aisle is long and It looks like there is room enough for maybe 4 little fist fulls of petals.

    The dimensions are appx 5" X 3 1/2" at the top and 2" deep the bottom is 4 1/2" X 3". It doesn't seem big enough. It looks doll size to me. 

    Could you post pics of your flower girls with their baskets?

    Here is the pic from the site...http://www.etsy.com/listing/84241376/flower-girl-basket-and-ring-bearers-box Now that I look again I guess it looks it looks small but she didn't list dimensions and I expected it to be bigger.

    It is a LITTLE small... but remember your flower girl has little 5 year old hands.. if the aisle is REALLY long you could always remind her to take little hand fulls .. I dont think its too small where you should have the seller make another .. just fill it to the brim :)

    It's a bit small but I think it'll do. As CanadianMermaid said, your FG is 5 and as long as you out enough petals there so she won't run out it should be fine.

    You could always take yours in to a michaels or party city and compare it side by side with a flower girl basket off the shelf.
