Other than the bride walking down the aisle, the biggest “aw” and gasp will probably be when your flower girl walks down the aisle. It’s not tough to make a cute little girl look cute in a dress, but you still need to find that perfect dress that goes with your wedding style and makes the young girl feel great in it.
Where to start:
First, the easiest thing would be to find a dress at a kids store that also sells dressy clothes. If not there, try a wedding dress or bridesmaid dress shop. If you’re super particular about the dress matching the exact color of the bridesmaid dresses, you might be stuck with getting it custom made at a dress shop.
Make a fun “girls day” of it and let the little flower girl help pick her dress out. If the flower girl is old enough, she will likely have a preference as to what she likes and what she would like to wear. She’ll have a lot more fun if she’s happy about the dress choice and especially if she feels involved in the decision.
Style Choice:
The flower girl’s dress should be of the same genre as the rest of the wedding. If your wedding is on the beach, the flower girl should have something long that flows and looks ethereal and comfortable. If you are doing a high class country club wedding, go for a more evening gown type of look. The age of the flower girl also matters. If she’s a teen, let her be very involved in choosing what she’s going to wear. If she’s a baby, you can’t go wrong with ruffles and headbands.
The trends set with the bride and bridesmaid tend to trickle down to the flower girl. Their dresses are usually versions of the bridesmaid, but toned down a bit. The neckline might be higher or the straps may be wider, but the general look of the dress should be similar.
The thing that causes stress and unhappiness is usually when a bride worries about the flower girl last and has to made a rush decision and purchase. The flower girl feels like an after thought, if they’re old enough and probably will not be happy in the dress. For everyone’s sake, plan ahead and put some thought into your flower girl dress.
