Flower Girl Dresses grant the opportunity to the dreamy little girls to fulfill their “I’d like to be a princess” fantasy. Of course, it is important to the bride and the groom to have every detail of their wedding executed perfectly, as planned, down to the detail of the flower girl dresses. But we must remember, that as important such is to the couple, wearing flower girl dresses are equally important to excited flower girls, especially for the first-timers.

Since flower girls play an important role in a wedding, in fact, start the wedding march, or accent the bride’s pathway, it is very crucial that the little girls, usually aged three to eight, wear dresses that are cut-out for the occasion yet comfortable to the wearer. There are many factors to consider in choosing the perfect flower girl dress.

Theme and/or motif should be one important consideration. Is the wedding Victorian inspired? Is it a special theme wedding? Is it a casual or beach wedding? Is there a specific event color like moss green or royal blue or lilac? The flower girl dress should never attempt to have a stuck-out design or color as the flower girl belongs to most wedding pictures and is part of the ones who will walk down the aisle.

Style and design are equally important factors. As adults look pretty in tube-dresses or one-shoulder-strap gowns or halter top designs, little girls do not. Add to the fact that these designs do not offer comfort for the wearer which limits their mobility during the occasion. The most convenient and appropriate designs for flower girl dresses are those with plain sleeveless designs, short-sleeved or off-shoulder designs and spaghetti straps. Anything beyond these designs are a little too over-the-top for pretty little girls. Such design will eat them up and would overpower their fresh and naïve look. The more conservative designs mentioned likewise ensure that the dress will stay in place no matter how playful the wearer is. It likewise allows the little girl to breathe easily and move normally in such designs.

There are more detail-specific designs to consider for flower girl dresses. There are flowered dresses where plain satin dresses are usually embellished with a big floral bloom at some central part of the gown. In other cases, flowers can be scattered rosettes within the dress. There are also the cuffed dresses where colors can have room to be utilized even minus the floral design pattern. Bands and bows at the mid-part or bottom lining of the dress are usually made to execute this design. This design usually works best on A-line satin dresses or lace-up back dresses which are usually ankle or floor length. This design is best complemented with matching color accessories such as cuffs, gloves, purses and headbands.

Miniature Bride Flower Girl Dresses is fast-becoming a favorite trend amongst weddings. Here, the flower girl is made to wear a dress that is similar to the appearance of the bridal gown. Usually, this design is a floor-length gown where beadwork and embroidery is done.

Colorful dresses for flower girls are also becoming to be popular because they never go out of style. Add to the fact that color sort of retains the youthful vibe of the little girls who put on make-up during the occasion. This style usually works if the bride has selected two colors for the wedding – usually a white shade and another colorful tone. Colorful dresses for flower girls and the entourage usually allow the bride to shine most during the occasion. The contrast of the bride’s white gown from the color of the entourage, make the bride stand-out. Matching sandals or ballet flats are perfect to complement colorful flower girl dress styles. If the wedding is held on colder months however, closed-toe shoes are non-negotiable.

Pick up style dresses are both functional and elegant as the pick-up skirt prevents the length to be a trip hazard which is dangerous for the playful little girls. Even as it is functional and practical, a pick-up dress style guarantees a body to the skirt of the gown. Usually this style is complemented with metallic embroidery along the bodice, which gives luster to the dress.

There are many other things to consider in order to achieve the perfect look for the flower girl dress. Details are important as we all know. Hence, apart from the dress, accessories should not be forgotten – comfortable shoes (patent leather, shiny ballet flats, closed-toe shoes, matching sandals, etc.), matching purse, jewelry such as faux pearls, jeweled or flower tiaras, rhinestone crowns or headbands, and the like.

Most importantly, apart from considering the over-all look, the flower girl dress should be made most functional and comfortable as possible. It should be appropriate for the weather therefore fabric to be used must also be taken into consideration. Finally, although details and accents make the dress pretty, it is essential to stick with a right-priced budget as the little girl would easily outgrow the dress.
