what about tossing small sea shells. i know you can buy them at like michaels or hobby lobby. that might be cute :)
I'm having the same dilemma. I somehow feel kind of weird about having my FG throw petals on the beach (watch the Mexican police arrest us for littering!), plus I couldn't get petals to match my bouquet, plus they'd probably all blow away in the breeze anyway. So far all I've come up with is small seashells, maybe like these:

Not very colorful like flower petals though. I'd also love to hear other ideas if anyone else has any.
I got married on the beach and I had two 'flower girls'. One held a basket (twine and decorated with shells) filled with aqua colored bubble tubes which she passed out to the guests before the cereomny (for them to blow as we exited), and she just held the basket down the aisle. For the second, I got her a little bouquet, just a much smaller version of mine. Other options I considered were a flower pomander or a nautical pomander - the same lady I ordered my basket from on Etsy made a twine pomander with a starfish & shells inside.
What about colored sand? Do you have an aisle runner? If so, ocean blue sand (or whatever your colors are, of course) would be really pretty on a white runner over the natural sand. Just an idea, my flower girl is dropping colored feathers, but we're indoors. Good luck in your decisions!
Branching off of ksnow's idea, could your flower girl blow bubbles walking down the aisle? We are decorating the sides of our aisle with sea glass, but it will be there ahead of time, not thrown out like petals would be (otherwise, the very klutzy bride might end up slipping on on a piece!! :).
Thank you so much everyone for your ideas! @girlyburd I love the idea of the colored sand!
Bubbles would be cute or seashells. Honestly though, rose petals are a natural item and Mother Nature will recycle them so they can be used. But you can't silks outdoors at all because they are not biodegradable. Technically, you should not be arrested for littering anything since it is not an item that doesn't break down like plastic bottles, etc.
We had our flower girls collect seashells on the morning of our wedding and they tossed those from their Nantucket baskets. This also helped clean up the area where we were having our 'aisle' plus it gave the little ones something to do to stay busy :o)

Hi all, I need some help. I am trying to think of an idea for my flowergirl. She is 4 and we are getting married on the beach. I would love something that ties into the beachy feel if possible, but for some reason my brain is fried. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
