Make Your Wedding Perfect With The Perfect Dress For
Your Flower Girl
Ryan Larson
Have you decided on a flower girl for your wedding yet? If yes, it is time
to choose her dress, which can actually be a fun time for both of you.
After all, next to the bride, the flower girl will be getting a lot of the
‘ooh’s’ and ‘ahh’s’.
When choosing a flower girl’s dress, begin by checking out boutiques that
specialize in children’s wedding wear. A regular wedding shop may be able
to help, however usually these shops will only adjust adult measurements
to fit a small child, which could cause the dress to look disproportionate
to the child’s body frame.
Although the bride may already have a design in mind for choosing the
flower girl’s dress, remember that the parents will be paying for it,
unless otherwise arranged. Let the flower girl’s mom and the flower girl,
herself give opinions to the dress you are looking at and be sure it is in
a price range they can afford.
Remember to keep in mind that little girls grow fast, when choosing your
flower girl’s dress. If you are ordering the dress six months in advance,
you may want to add a few inches to the dress, which can then be altered
the week before the wedding. Just like with any dress, it will be easier
to take it in than adding material to a dress that is too small.
Little girls like to feel like princesses in their dresses. So consider a
smaller make to your wedding gown when choosing a flower girl’s dress.
Traditional flower girl dresses are usually white with full, ruffle skirts
underneath to give them the ‘bridal’ look. Flower accented dresses are
also popular among flower girls. Use hoop slips to give them that princess
look. Keep in mind the material you are selecting. A soft, silky feel will
leave your flower girl less fidgety versus and rougher material that will
make them itch and feeling uncomfortable.
When choosing your flower girl’s dress, do not forget to find matching
accents for her hair. Decide if you want her hair up or down. With either,
adding baby’s breath and ribbons will give her a beautiful look of
enchantment. Also let her parent’s know what type of shoe you would like
her to wear with her dress. If you choose a shorter dress, close toe or an
open sandal, depending on the time of year, would be appropriate. If the
dress is long and flowing, covering her feet, think about letting her wear
white slippers. This will ensure her comfort and make the event more
enjoyable for everyone.
Flower girls add a cute touch to any wedding. Let her carry a beautiful
bouquet or throw flower pedals down the aisle as she walks, which is
usually the tradition of her role. If the child you choose is too small to
walk, decorate a red wagon in a lot of white lace and flowers and let an
older child, or bridesmaid pull the wagon down the aisle.
