Flower Girl Dresses
Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of...With this in mind, here are a few tips to help you find the right flower girl ensemble for the sweetest little members of your wedding party.

When choosing the dress for your flower girl you should consider style and comfort. Have the style complement the wedding decor, theme and style of the bridesmaids' gowns.

Although it is appropriate for your flower girl to wear a mini version of your bridal gown, keep in mind her dress should be age appropriate. A four-year-old wearing slinky spaghetti straps or a strapless dress would not be appropriate.

As you shop for just the right dress be practical and remember that comfort is key. If you choose floor-length be sure the hem is at least two inches from the floor to avoid the possibility of tripping. Some of the more popular fabric choices include organza, satin, lace and velvet, or a combination of fabrics. Whichever you choose, be sure the fabric fits the season. Your flower girl will be wearing this outfit all day and into the evening so try not to pick an itchy fabric.

Typically the child's parents pay for their wedding attire; however, the bride and groom can certainly purchase the flower girl dress (or the ring bearer's suit) as a gift. Be sure to make your intentions clear regarding who will be responsible for the cost of the outfit. Prices for flower girl dresses start at about $80 and can run up to several hundred dollars.
