How to Find Precious Flower Girl Dresses for Your Wedding
November 8, 2009
The flower girl is usually of some relation to the bride or groom, either a little sister, cousin, or niece. The key to finding a lovely flower girl dress is to consider the flower girl’s size and height, hair color, and also the actual wedding colors.
A Mini Bride’s Dress
Flower girl dresses are often miniature replicas of the bride’s wedding dress. A flower girl dress may also be a white dress with a sash that matches the colors of the bridesmaids’ dresses. The materials can be matched along with the decorative and design aspects of your wedding dress. For example, if your wedding dress has lace and white beads, find a flower girl dress that has the same. If your wedding dress comes with a bolero jacket, make sure the flower girl dress has a similar jacket. You can also closely match the sleeves, neckline, and style of the dress.
Colorful Flower Girl Dresses
Flower girl dresses can also be colorful to match the wedding colors. The key is to match the flower girl dress with the bridesmaids’ dresses and the flower petal colors, though the match doesn’t have to be exact. The flower girl dress may complement the other colors and look just as beautiful. If the wedding colors are lavender and white, for example, you might dress the flower girl in a lavender and white dress with lavender and white flower petals mixed in the basket. Or, use a lavender dress with a white basket and lavender flower petals.
Consider the Flower Girl
Don’t get caught up in the moment and forget to consider who will be wearing the flower girl dress. Consider the little girl’s likes and how she feels about fancy dresses. The dress should complement her height and hair color. Also, have the dress sized for comfort and flexibility.
Where to Buy Flower Girl Dresses
You can have flower girl dresses custom made or buy them from the same shop where you’ll buy your wedding dress. You can even buy flower girl dresses online. On the Web, there are flower girl dress shops, children’s boutiques, and online stores for kids’ special occasion clothing.
