Which styles do you choose?



There are several very "standard" flower girl dress styles that are always appropriate:

- Order dresses from the same manufacturer in the same color at the same time as the bride's maids' dresses to match;

- Shop from store to store for weeks and likely dragging them (and their parents) with you before the wedding but long after the bride's maids dresses have come;

- Wait until the last possible minute, panic and have to settle for whatever is available;

- Shop easily on line and send a message to each family telling them which style and color to order and that they need to get them ordered now - or order them yourself so you know they are ordered in time.

- Shop on line early, get them delivered in plenty of time and check it off your list of "To Dos"!

Any florist can make up a pin for the sash for you, too. Consider combining colors for a really rich, unique look!

The A-line. This is the class silhouette that is shaped like the capital letter "A" - trim at the top and getting wider to the hemline. This style looks good on every figure type and is suitable for all ages but especially for the older girls. It comes in many variations such as:
