Smart Tips for Choosing the Perfect Flower Girl Dress

You can’t choose the perfect flower girl dress until you’ve chosen the perfect flower girl. Much of the decision will be based on the girl. You’ll need to consider her personality, what she’ll feel comfortable in, as well as how you want her to look in your ceremony. There are so many options out there that you’ll surely find the right flower girl dress, though.

There are two basic styles in flower girl dresses. The first is like a mini version of the bride’s dress. It will be white, perhaps covered in lace and frills. It will usually have a sash in your accent color. This is a great look for a summer wedding. However if the flower girl has a chance to run around outside, don’t expect the dress to make it to the end of the ceremony a crisp, clean white.

Many people choose to forgo a white flower girl dress so that they don’t have to worry about it getting messy. A popular choice is a mini version of the bridesmaid dress. Many dress makers make dresses in both adult and toddler sizes, so these are not too hard to find. Some people choose a unique dress for the flower girl. It goes with the overall theme, without being a mini replica of the adults’ dresses. This is often the most cost effective way to go.

When you go shopping, you’ll want to bring the flower girl along. Make sure that the dress is not too long so that she does not trip as she walks down the aisle. Also, you’ll need to closely examine the cut to make sure nothing is too tight. Have her run a little and lift her arms with it on to make sure she’ll be able to move around a lot. If you purchase online, have her try it on in enough time for tailoring, if necessary.

Along with the flower girl, you should bring her parents when she is trying a dress on. They will be able to tell if she is uncomfortable. If they are paying for the dress, as is traditional, they should be involved in the choosing process. If you want something that is way out of their price range, consider buying it yourself or offering to pay half.

Choosing the flower girl dress seems like a small detail. It seems like something you can just order with the bridesmaid dresses and other wedding accessories and think nothing of. However, you could be making a grave mistake if you do not thoroughly consider the little girl who will be wearing that dress.
