Do you know how to choose right flower girl dresses for your lovely small bridesmaid?

The flower girl’s dress could be the same style as the bridal gown but in the same color as the bridesmaids’ dresses. Or, the dress could be in the style of the bridesmaids’ dresses, and in the same color scheme as the bridal gown.

It’s important to remember the age of your flower girl and to keep the dress you’ve chosen appropriate and modest. Wider spaghetti straps will be more appropriate, but won’t sacrifice the elegance of the flower girl dress. You can also add puffy sleeves to a flower girl dress to make it more age appropriate.

1, Coordinating with the Bridal Gown

Mini bridal styles are very popular choices for flower girls. Most often, the flower girls dress in a style that mimics the bridal gown in style and color. Of course, you’ll need to be sure that the flower girl’s dress is age appropriate. If your wedding dress is strapless, it may not be appropriate for a young girl to wear. However, finding a gown with spaghetti straps is a suitable alternative, and you can even add a sheer jacket to make the outfit more age appropriate. You can add some accessories to your flower girl as well, such as a veil.

2, Coordinating Flower Girl Dresses with a Themed Wedding

If you’re having a themed wedding, consider the style, color selection and general motif of your wedding before heading out to buy the flower girl dress. Is your wedding formal and traditional, or modern and fresh? Either way, you can use your theme as inspiration for your flower girl dress. Your wedding colors can also provide great ideas for flower girl dresses. Your options for tying in these colors are limitless. Use a bold sash, delicate colored lace or scalloping, or other details to reflect your wedding theme and colors. 

3, Coordinating with the Bridesmaids

Another great choice is to have the flower girl’s dress coordinate with the bridesmaids’ dresses. This choice can make the entrance of the wedding party all the more dramatic. Bear in mind that just because you’ve chosen to coordinate the flower girl with the bridesmaids doesn’t mean that the flower girl has to wear a small version of the same dress.

4, Other Flower Girl Dress Options

You may not want to coordinate your flower girl’s dress to any of the other dresses in your bridal party. Perhaps you’ve found an adorable dress that is perfect your flower girl.

5, Coordinating Multiple Flower Girl Dresses

Veils and jewelry are other great ways to coordinate different flower girl dresses. You can also choose to pull colors from the bridal bouquet for the flower girl dresses, or colors from the flower petals they’ll be tossing down the aisle.

Remember that you’ll want to choose fabrics and cuts that your flower girl can move easily in. It’s generally advised to avoid long, flowing dresses, scratchy fabrics or anything that limits movement. The more comfortable your flower girl is, the better she’ll look in her dress.

What is a Flower Girl:

A flower girl is usually a young girl between the ages of 4 and 8 who has a special connection to the bride and groom. Perhaps she is a niece or cousin, or a family friend. She follows behind the bridesmaids (sometimes before and sometimes after the maid of honor) with a basket of flowers, scattering them down the aisle.

How to Choose a Flower Girl:

For some of you, the choice will be obvious. Others may have to worry about choosing between several possible candidates. There’s no reason why you can’t have two or even three flower girls – it will add to their confidence and ups the cuteness quotient. Avoid choosing someone who is too young – she will be confused and perhaps scared. An older girl may be more suited for a job such as reader, or junior bridesmaid. If your only choices are unsuitable or not that close to you, there is no reason why you have to have a flower girl.

Preparing Your Flower Girl For Her Role, and Calming the Jitters

One of the best ways to do this is buy her a book about being a flower girl which will explain her role, and get her excited. Seat her parents on the aisle, near the front so that she can see them when she walks down the aisle and during the ceremony itself. Ask a bridesmaid to be her “buddy” and make sure she uses the restroom before the ceremony. Most of all, don’t be too nervous that she will make a mistake. If she dumps all her petals at the start of the aisle, runs instead of walks, or even starts to cry, guests will think it’s cute.

What She Should Wear:

Often, a flower girl is dressed in a mini-version of the bride’s dress, or a white dress with a sash that matches the bridesmaid’s dresses. But you can choose any sweet dress that ties into the look of the wedding. Make sure it’s comfortable and not too long, so that she won’t be pulling at her dress or tripping down the aisle. If your flower girl doesn’t like dresses, choose a pants outfit with the same level of formality as the bridesmaid dresses.

Where to Find a Flower Girl Dress

You can find flower girl dresses at bridal shops, children’s clothing stores, and department stores. Since the parents typically pay for their daughter’s dress, try to choose something relatively inexpensive. Some of my favorites are eastbridal, wholesale-weddingdress and bridaldressmall.

Factors you should take into consideration when you buy flower girl dress

Flower girls may be the youngest guest in your wedding, but young doesn’t mean they are not important! When they spread the petals before the bride and walk down the aisle, all eyes are foucused on them. So as the bride, it becomes more important for you to choose a lovely flower girl dress for them to complement you.

Color

A flower girl’s dress should complement the bride’s. It can be white, or the same color as the bridesmaids dresses. If her dress is white, a colored floral accent may be used to tie it in with the bridesmaid dresses. See style 5166 and 5083. We can arrange for almost any color matching for just the right look!

The Season

Fabrics and colors for flower girl dresses vary greatly, consider the time of year. If yours is an autumn or winter wedding, rich fabrics such as velvet or velour are wonderful, not just for their beauty, but because they will keep the chills away. For a spring or summer wedding, lighter fabrics keep the flower girl from melting in the heat — and melting down. While tights are great for a cold weather wedding, they will be uncomfortably warm in the summer months (even though they look cute!). For footwear, choose a ballet slipper style in kid or patent leather; no high heels or styles that will be uncomfortable or difficult to walk in.
*Always remember the comfort of your little guests- if they are uncomfortable, most likely you or your guests will be too.

Comfort

No matter how precious the flower girl looks, if her dress and shoes are uncomfortable, it will be reflected in her face and behavior. Scratchy dresses and tight shoes have been responsible for everything from fidgeting to temper tantrums over the years, so take this issue seriously. Love a sleeveless dress we have but need sleeves? See all of our wonderful jackets that can be used again and again for different looks with other outfits.

Length

The age of your flower girl is a factor when choosing the length of her dress. A small child may wind up tripping over a long skirt, so it’s best to choose a shorter style. Depending on whether your flower girl is three or eight, the styles may vary as well. A younger girl can wear a knee length “princess” style dress, while an older girl might prefer a more sophisticated silhouette, with more length. If you are having multiple flower girls of varying ages, you can link their dress styles using color, fabric and even the flowers they carry. Just think beforehand about any steps to go up or down, because little girls tend to not think about pulling their dress up- remember they are carrying your flower basket! Most all of the dresses we carry are tea-length style just for this very reason. One tip to remember is on a floor length gown, in order for it not to buckle in the front, a child must be standing perfectly straight. This might not look so great in your wedding photos.

Say it with Style

Although bridal styles have evolved dramatically over the years, flower girl fashion has changed very little. The style of the flower girl’s dress shouldn’t come out of left field. Tie it in to some other aspect of the wedding: It can echo the styling of the bridesmaids in color, style, or length. Or, it can be a mini version of the bride’s dress or have similar elements such as lace or beading. The dress can be short or long, but it is always classically “little girl” in style. Certain styles work better in a big hotel ballroom, others on a beach, so keep that in mind as you shop. Our online fashion search includes flower girl apparel; so take some time to browse for the right look. If you need assistance, our experienced wedding staff is here to help!

Wrinkle Factor

Choose fabrics that aren’t wrinkle prone, such as silk or velvet, for the best results. Also, wait until the very last possible minute to dress your flower girl. Her dress will be free from wrinkles, and you won’t have to worry about her wearing that glass of juice she’s going to demand just before the ceremony.

Whatever the style you choose, avoid those that will make your flower girl look too sophisticated or “just like mommy.” This is an occasion when you want to play up her little girl charms. When else can she have the joy of wearing a princess dress, tiara and satin sashes? Perhaps this is why flower girl fashion has remained constant over the years — little girls love dressing up like little girls.

Quality

If money is an issue, any pretty party dress, provided it works with the bridesmaid’s dresses, will do. However, resist the urge to purchase a dress of cheap fabric – cheap fabrics have been known to be very itchy. If possible, spend a bit more for a better fabric, keeping in mind that the dress doesn’t have to be a “one-time” dress — it can be re-worn often, from a portrait sitting to a birthday. It can also be preserved and handed down as an heirloom once the child grows out of it. All of the dresses we offer are lined for the comfort of the child adding durability to withstand long-term usage. There are a lot of junk dresses out on the market, so be careful! The dresses that we sell have withstood 15 years of salability and thousands of weddings, so be assured that you will be amazed at the quality of what we are selling for the price! We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t put on our own children. Period!

Formality

Follow the dressiness of the entire wedding party. For a formal black and white wedding, a white organza dress with a beautiful back or hand bead work to match the bride looks exquisite. If you are in question about which style to choose, please email us a picture of your bridal attire, and we will be happy to assist you. We design a lot of our dresses around current wedding dresses, so we can help direct you to the best choice.

 

Basic knowledge about flower girl dress

Flower girls have dresses that have somewhat the same theme, color or style, as the rest of the bridal party. However flower girl dresses are more styled for a child, than a teen or adult. Modern flower girl dresses have an illusion netting covering the lower half of the dress. The bottom of this netting is sealed and flowers or flower petals are placed in them.

If you want the flower girls dress to be the same color as the bridesmaid, the style is going to be what seperates them. So let’s talk about style for the bridal party. A good rule of thumb in picking the bridesmaid’s dresses, is that they have a similar neckline to the bride’s dress. This can present a problem for the little flower girl in that most brides wear dresses that are off the shoulders. This is not an appropriate look for a child, however this can be easily fixed by picking a flower girls dress that has straps. This gives her dress a little girls summer look.

The flower girls dress can be white if the bridal party does not include a little bride. The usual color for this dress is different from the bridesmaids. What works best is a shade or two lighter or darker than the rest of the party. You want to carry the theme in some way. For instance, if the bridesmaids are wearing green, you would not have the flower girl in a pink or red dress. A white, light green, or darker green would look great.

Besides the bride’s dress, picking out the flower girls dress can be the most fun because her dress can be so different from the others. This gives you more freedom in selecting the dress, and also, because it’s for a child you can be as lacy or ruffled as you like.

Cheap flower girl dresses are high in demand

We have never seen a formal wedding without lovely flower girls. These childish flower girls add a fresh vivid and sweet feeling to a formal wedding ceremony. Flower girl dresses add a lot of pomp and color to the occasion and one can be forgiven to think that flower girls are indeed indispensable for weddings.

As the financial crisis, cheap flower girls dresses are high in demand. However, cheap doesn’t equal poor quality. One need not think that cheap flower girl dresses are hand-me-downs or old, used and second hand dresses. If you search well, you will get discounted flower girl dresses to fit your stretched budget and yet look chic and elegant to complement the bride’s splendid entry scene. Just because you are economizing a bit does not mean that you are compromising on quality. So, search a bit and you will surely find decent quality for reasonable prices.

The worldwide economic slump has really hit people hard. People have either lost jobs or their salaries, perks and bonuses have been severely curtailed. Many people have had to sell off homes or foreclose on their loans due to the onslaught of the recession. So if you are one of those getting married now, you certainly have to watch each dollar and spend it well. There is no denying the fact that economic thrift is the need of the hour and you have to be careful with the purse strings. In a wedding ceremony for instance, you can go for cheap flower girl dresses instead of splurging on high end, designer dresses.

A unique wedding scene–The flower girls

In a wedding, the flower girl dress is also a beautiful scene! These lovely flower girls are dresses up in colorful and cute toddler flower girl dresses and walking down the aisle in front of the bride.

It is indeed a matter of great joy to watch your girl holding the flowers and walking up the aisle in front of the bride in beautiful toddler flower girl dresses that can indeed thrill and warm the heart of any doting parent. It is really an honor to watch your little girl dressed in such attire and maybe you start to think wistfully of the day when your baby girl will no longer be a baby and would herself walk down the aisle on her own wedding day.

A flower girl is indeed a role suited for a child. Most of the grown up girls do not want to be flower girls. It also looks more pretty and alluring when a toddler perhaps of 3-4 years is made a flower girl, ever so pretty and cute to make the scene extremely picture perfect. A toddler flower girl in a splendid pink dress often seems just right to add to the picturesque wedding scene. Toddler flower girl dresses are available in different styles, colors and cuts which you, your wife and maybe even your daughter can happily choose from in consultation with the bride who is in charge of the ceremony.

There are so many wedding sites that cater to the wedding dress needs – not only of the brides and the bridesmaids but also of the flower girls. Flower girls are cute, young girls and their dresses can be pink, cream or white depending on the choice of the bride whose writ runs by and large in such matters. So, shop at your nearest store or go online for getting the perfect toddler flower girl dress for your little one.

Flower girls dresses must match with the tone of wedding dress and the style of the wedding. If the wedding is a romantic style and the tone of it is white, soft, then black flower girl dresses may be not suitable. So just be cautious with the choice of your flower girl dress.

Which color of Flower Girl Dresses do you want to choose?–pink

To prepare for a wedding, every thing must be ensured in order. Wedding is a great party for every body attend it, including the groom and bride, the guests, and the flower girls, bridesmaid, etc. As to such a grand banquet, all preparatons must be ensured to be made. From the wedding cake to the church arrangements, the dinner reception, down to the pink flower girls dresses – everything needs to be planned out and implemented perfectly to make a wedding go as the plan and schedule. Pink flower girls dresses may be lovely enough to match your perfect wedding ceremony and your wedding gown!

As this is quite a baby role, the girls who become flower girls are generally between 4 to 8 years of age. The pink color of the flower girl dresses goes so well with the occasion and age of these girls that it has to be seen to be savored. Pink is a typical girl’s color and one would be well advised to make girls wear a dress that is of a light shade because it adds up to great color coordination.

The role of the flower girls in European weddings has been well documented in the ceremonial history of countries and immortalized in literature and arts. These flower girls generally walk in front of the bride as she enters the church and may ceremonially spread flowers in front of the bride or even carry bouquets to enhance the whole look of the milieu.

The beautiful pink flower girls dresses of the girls looks so beautiful that it may take your breath away. Just imagine the scene of a couple of flower girls in lovely pink flower girl dresses ahead of the bride who is flanked and followed by bridesmaids as she enters the church – led hand in hand by her father who leads her to the altar where her fiancé awaits her in front of the priest. How romantic it would be!
