When you choose your wedding gown you may feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and it really has! But, at this point you will need to choose a flower girl dress for your flower girl as well as bridal jewelry made for girls. The way many brides go about this is they consider what they will be wearing and then they look for something that will complement their own attire, but will be appropriate for a young girl. Some brides choose miniature versions of their dresses while others choose a complementary dress. While the dress is the bride’s decision, it is always a good idea to check with the flower girl’s mother to gain her approval. Aside from choosing a dress that is comfortable and that can be worn again, the following suggestions will help brides choose the best flower girl dress. Give your flower girl complimentary jewelry as a flower girl gift.
Style #1 Classic
The classic flower girl dress is long and white, off white, or ivory. It usually has cap sleeves, or long sleeves for a winter wedding, and is ankle length. Simple bridal jewelry, white stockings, and white shoes are also worn with this dress. The dress typically has a wide ribbon that ties around the waist and forms a bow in the back. The ribbon may be the same color as the dress or a complementary color to the wedding colors. Many brides choose this style of dress with the ribbon being the same color as the bridesmaid’s dresses.
Style #2 New Age
Some brides today are taking the flower girl dress and changing it up a bit. You may see flower girl dresses that are black, red, yellow, green, or any other color of the rainbow. These dresses may be long or short with a more modern style to them. The flower girl may wear bridal jewelry similar to the bridesmaids jewelry. The good thing about the modern approach is that this attire can usually be worn again to another formal function or simply to church. They do not have the typical appearance of a flower girl dress, but they are beautiful and elegant
Style #3 Casual
Weddings that take place in casual environments usually look best with a wedding party dressed casually and wearing low-key bridal jewelry. Even the flower girl dress can be a casual dress with smocking on the front. There are some beautiful smocked dresses that are long and absolutely breathtaking, but still casual enough for a beach or outdoor wedding.
