Flower Girl Dresses
Aside from the bride, there’s no doubt who the most fussed-after lady is on the wedding day – it’s the flower girl! These gorgeous dresses from designers like Alfred Angelo and Tiffany Princess can make the flower girl at your wedding look like the perfect little angel she knows how to be!
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
When it comes to selecting flower girl dresses, it’s important to look for a few key elements. How well does the flower girl’s outfit match the bridesmaids and wedding dresses? Are they going to be the same color, or will there be contrast between them? What features will the flower girl’s dress contain? Are you looking for a formal dress, or something more playful she can wear on other occasions? Many flower girls will love their dress for years to come, keeping it as a memory of their role in your special day – so try to give them something extra special to remember!
SASHES AND SKIRTS
Nothing makes a little girl feel more like a princess than a ball gown silhouette, and many of these flower girl dresses show off echoes of the same trends gracing wedding and bridesmaids dresses today. There are v necks, halter straps, spaghetti strap looks and more! Some of the gowns are as spectacular as the versions for other women in the bridal party; your sweet niece, sister, cousin or daughter will look like a star as she precedes you down the aisle.
FULL LENGTH OR TEA LENGTH?
Although a full length ball gown may be your goal, think about the personality of the little girl you’ve chosen to be part of your big day. Will she be excitable and eager to run around and visit with the guests on the day of the wedding? Or will she be quiet and shy, happy to sit quietly in her place? For the latter, full length gowns can add to the flower girl’s feeling of being all grown up, while girls who want to visit with other guests and play with other children might be better served by a tea-length dress.
HOW TO HANDLE THE BIG DAY
When it comes to the wedding day, remember that it’s important to set aside plenty of time for doing the flower girl’s hair, makeup and styling – in addition to getting her into and comfortable with her dress. It’s a good idea to enlist one member of the wedding party, or a close family member or friend, to supervise the flower girl’s preparations. Hair styles and makeup can add a new layer of sophistication as a little girl walks down the aisle, but it’s easy to make a hair style messy and makeup can smudge, so it’s important someone be prepared to make last minute fixes and keep things under control.
ACCESSORIZING YOUR FLOWER GIRL
No matter what kind of flower girl dresses you want for your wedding, their central accessories remain the same – the beautiful, bright flowers that she carries with her as she leads the wedding party down the aisle. Pick your flower girl’s dress to compliment not just the look of the wedding, but the flowers themselves! Think about the flowers you’ve chosen to represent your wedding day, and make sure that the flower girl has both a floral arrangement that matches or compliments her dress, and a basket or bouquet in which to carry them. When it comes to shoes, opt for flats. Even if young girls think they want to try on heels, it’s better that they make their way safely down the aisle in a moment that’s sure to be tense for everyone. In cooler weather, consider purchasing an additional small jacket to help keep flower girls warm.
WHERE’S YOUR HAIR?
Give careful thought to how you want your flower girl’s hair to be styled, and remember that young children are rarely as patient as adults about sitting while intricate styles are worked into their hair. For girls with longer hair, if they’re willing to sit still, curls can be a fun way to glamorize their looks. Those flower girls with shorter hair might enjoy getting cute barrettes or sparkling clips placed into their hair to help bring added glitter into their day. When using special clips and other hair adornments and fascinators, make sure that they are solidly attached and unlikely to break loose as the flower girl makes her way up the aisle in her beautiful flower girl dress.
