All little girls look beautiful in any style of dress but there are some rules to follow when picking out flower girl dresses. The goal of the flower girl dress is not to stand out as a centerpiece on its own but rather to naturally blend into the theme and style of the wedding. There are some simple do’s and don’ts to pick the best flower girl dress for the occasion.
When Choosing Flower Girl Dresses DO:
• Choose either ivory, white, or a paler version of the rest of the bridal party. If the bridesmaids and maid of honor are dressed in deep blue, opt for a very pale blue in the same hue.
• Opt for a longer style as opposed to a short skirt since this is a special occasion.
• Have the child fitted professionally and be sure she tries on the dress before the day of the wedding.
• Respond positively to the child if she does not like the dress. A happy and precious flower-girl is a flower girl who feels good in her dress. Make her feel like a princess.
• Include appropriately matching headpieces such as a tiara or flowers.
Don’t:
• opt for casual style or a short skirt.
• allow the dress to take attention away from the bride.
• allow the child to eat or drink anything in the dress until after the ceremony.
