How To Choose Flower Girl Dresses

You want the prettiest young lady to introduce you when you finally hear the tune, “here comes the bride, all dressed in white.” The flower girl is that cute little angel who walks in with her basket full of roses, usually arranged by your florist. Greater than the roses she holds is her innocent beauty that stands out in the crowd.

Definitely, your little angel will send more smiles during the grand wedding entrance if she’s wearing an equally beautiful dress. Fortunately, finding flower girl dresses is simple if you follow these guidelines:

1.    Comfort should be your main concern when choosing the flower girl dress.

You may get the prettiest dress or the nicest shoes. But if the flower girl is not comfortable with these, how can she offer that beaming smile that everyone loves? So before anything else, comfort should be your priority, second to style or price.

2.    Choose the flower girl dress style with some considerations.

Here are some considerations you should include when choosing a flower girl dress:

• Motif. It will be a lot simpler and easier if you will just follow your motif when choosing the girl’s dress. If your motif is pink then you must have a flower girl in pink also. In some traditions, the flower girl dress’s color is similar to that of the bridesmaid, which is white. But you can just add a little twist by having some pink on that.
• Season. In what season will the wedding be held? Of course, you don’t want your flower girl to be freezing cold wearing a dress intended for summer.
• Parent’s choice. Usually, it’s the parents who will pay for their baby’s flower girl dress, unless you are well-off enough to take care of it. Whoever pays for the gown, you should always consult the parents if such a style is okay for them to be worn by their baby. This is not only a matter of respect but  a way of involving them also with the wedding process.
• The girl’s choice. Ask which of the dresses that the flower girl loves the most. You may consider that since she will be the wearer of the dress. She will surely be proud to wear the flower girl dress she loves.

3.    Meanings.

Some traditions  place certain significance in your choosing of the dress. Following certain traditions to fit the dress’s symbolism does not always compromise style, quality, and price.

4.    Quality over quantity on flower girl dresses.

You don’t want your flower girl to cry out loud during the entourage because some of the dress’s buttons or accessories fell off. That is why it’s always worthwhile investing in a quality dress rather than settling on a cheap, low-quality one.

5.    Price matters, but not so much when choosing a flower girl dress.

Remember, you can get quality flower girl dress without spending so much. It’s just a wise choice to go with a flower girl dress that is cheaper but of equal quality and beauty to a more expensive dress from famous shops. Besides, you are just buying the dress, not the name of the expensive shops.

After choosing the flower girl dress, you can finally do the arrangement for your other wedding necessities like the flowers from the florist, the garden if you will have a garden wedding, wedding invitations to send, and many other tasks for the occasion. Just tell your flower girl to start practicing walking down the aisle wearing her pretty dress and innocent smile.
