Let the littlest member of your wedding party have her moment in the spotlight.
Perhaps no member of the bridal party draws more attention than the flower girl. Whether your flower girl is a niece, cousin, sister, or family friend, wearing the perfect dress will make her feel special and confident throughout the big day. Here are some factors to think about when choosing a flower girl dress.
Choose your color and style first.
A bride has free reign over choosing the flower girl dress, since no rules dictate proper style, color, fit, or fabric. However, most brides opt for a dress that ties into her wedding aesthetic. One popular option is a white or ivory frock that mimics the bride's wedding dress. Alternatively, some brides choose a flower girl dress in a similar hue to the bridesmaids' dresses, which visually connects her the bridal party.
Consider the season.
Flower girls should don attire that works with the season. Stick with short sleeves and open-toed shoes for warm-weather weddings, and consider adding tights or sweaters to the ensemble for cold-weather weddings. That way, she won't be too hot or cold throughout the day.
Choose the right length for her age.
Most flower girl dresses are either floor-length or tea-length (falling a few inches under the knee). Younger girls may fair better with tea-length dresses, since they won't drag on the ground and create a tripping hazard. Floor-length dresses, on the other hand, tend to look more formal and elegant, and may be best suited for older girls. Consider the length of the neckline as well.
