The detailing of a traditional flower girl’s dress is important. The length of her dress could range from knee length, tea length or down to the floor. Keep in mind that if your flower girl is very young, you may not want a floor length dress. She should be able to move easily, without the risk of tripping or stumbling on her dress. Many brides opt for flower girl dresses that echo the wedding gown. Modifications can be made to make the dress more appropriate for a small girl. Plunging necklines, for example, or off the shoulder sleeves can be altered for a more conservative look.

If the manufacturer of the bridesmaids’ dresses has several styles of “little girl” dresses available this most likely won’t be an issue.
