The flower girl dress is small, but it has an important role in your wedding. Adding a touch of sweetness, it makes the whole ceremony sit up with charm.
You want it to go with the theme, of course, fit your child’s character, and be comfortable enough for her to wear all day long. So if you’re in a mix or aren’t quite sure where to start, here is an effortless guide for finding any flower girl dress.
Think About the Location and Season
First, consider where and when they are getting married. Something a bit more formal fits perfectly into the setting of a church or ballroom. For beach or garden weddings, light fabrics such as cotton and chiffon are best because you can wear them around in your environment instead of feeling trapped.
In winter or cool places, the girl should probably have long sleeves or a bolero to keep her warm. Sleeveless and cap-sleeve dresses will keep your friend cool in hot weather.
You don’t have to match the bride’s dress exactly. But if possible, it’s beneficial to wear something that goes with what everyone else in the bridal party is wearing.
Style Matters, But So Does Comfort
You may admire the lovely look of those flower girl dresses. Yet comfort is certainly as important. The little girl will be wearing hers for hours, so don’t let stiff fabrics or scratchy seams spoil what should be an otherwise joyful time.
Tulle, satin, and lace can look wonderful, but please ensure they are not overly troublesome. Especially for younger girls, get simple designs that don’t tangle or size needlessly.
Getting the Right Fit Without Stress
Children grow quickly, and your purchase shouldn’t be too early. Check the size chart and measure her chest, waist, and height again before placing your order. If she’s between two sizes, always go up a size—altering is less difficult than having something too tight on her body.
Make sure the length works, too. Dresses that fall to the knee or mid-calf are great. They’re easier to walk in and cut down on the chances of tripping.
Add a Few Accessories (But Not Too Many)
A few small details can make it special. But you should not overstimulate the baby. Otherwise, she may feel overwhelmed and cannot enjoy it at all. Include here:
A little flower headband or clip
Ballet flats, or soft dress shoes with nonslip soles
Wrap or wrap dress in case it’s cold on the day
A small bouquet or basket of flowers for her to carry down the aisle
Make her wear everything together before the wedding, and you will be able to tell her about any mishaps ahead of time. In this way, she gets used to how it all feels, too.
Let Her Help With the Little Choices
If she is old enough, of course, get her involved. Let her choose between two possible dresses or a cover, like shoes and a hair band. This causes her to feel like part of the action and makes the whole thing more fun.
When children feel joyful and comfortable in what they are wearing, they tend to have a better day. That joy shows through in the photos.
Pick a Dress That’s Beautiful and Easy to Wear
The ideal flower girl dress has a beautiful fabric and feels as cosy as one she might wear to play tea party with her friends. With good taste, a good fit, and a couple of thoughtful details, your flower girl can beam like a star on that big day. As for you, it will be nothing but fun to share every adorable moment both on and offstage.
