[F425]Flower Girl Dress Wedding
by Suzannebradley23, Suz
When it comes to dressing your bridal party, many brides like to use the vibrant colors of nature as their guide. While this tactic will help wedding colors take shape, it will not always lead you to the best style. If you could use a little help, here are some beautiful flower girl dress styles for a spring wedding.

Floral Inspiration

Nothing makes us think of spring quite like the image of flowers. Why not make this young member of your bridal party the flower girl in more than one way? Not only can she sprinkle petals, but she can also feature beautiful blooms on her dress.

Consider a satin dress with a floral skirt for your flower girl. The colors of the season are alive on a sleeveless dress that will look at home on any girl. To add the perfect finishing touch, pair it with a simple pair of sandals and a matching headband. For weddings scheduled for earlier in the season, a white or ivory crochet sweater is perfect to fend off the chill.

Spring Colors

For the bride who wants to limit the flowers to her bouquet, a solid color dress is a great way to incorporate color without compromising taste. A tea-length ball gown in satin is a classic option. Wide spaghetti straps work well with the season and all of the hottest color trends are available.

A great accessory for this style of dress is a coordinating sash or bow, especially since the satin is unadorned with any embellishments. The addition of wrist length gloves will help add a bit of glamour. Finish the ensemble with matching sandals and your flower girl will be ready to walk down the aisle in style.

A Hint of Color

Many brides enjoy the beauty of the classic white dress, but still want a hint of the color from their bridesmaid dresses. For the older flower girl, a satin dress with spaghetti straps and a lace-up back may be exactly the look for which the bride has been searching. With wide bands of color at the top and hemline of this floor length A-line gown, it is the perfect compromise between tradition and color.

A floral hair wreath will help remind everyone who the flower girl is, even when she is no longer carrying her basket of flowers. A slight heel for the girl comfortable with the extra height keeps this dress from dragging the ground, potentially as a trip hazard. For the bride not wearing white herself, ivory is also available.

Simple Elegance

If your wedding is a more formal affair where you will be walking down the aisle in true queen for the day fashion, why not let your flower girl dress like a princess? Choose a champagne satin dress with delicate spaghetti straps. The pick-up skirt will keep the hem of this floor length gown off the floor and the intricate embroidery on the bodice will make this dress an elegant choice.

A hazelnut sash gives the eye a perfect place to rest as it attempts to take in all the detail of this gorgeous gown. Top off the look with a tasteful tiara, jeweled sandals and elbow length gloves. Your flower girl will look as though she just stepped off the pages of a fairy tale in time for your wedding.

Classic Beauty

Few dresses can ever hope to rival the traditional beauty of the white flower girl dress. If timeless class is the look you crave for your wedding then a gown with a split front A-line embroidered skirt is the perfect option. Beaded embroidery on a sleeveless satin bodice ensures sophistication from neckline to floor length hem. In addition, the netting that provides the slight flair of the skirt is made from nylon, making it an itch-free alternative.

Spring Style

While there are as many different styles of flower girl dress as there are bridal gowns, a few style choices are a perfect match for spring weddings. Bare shoulders are in fashion so leave the puffy sleeves in the dress shop. Open toe shoes to show off polished toenails are a must. Of course, do not forget about color because every color is back on the table as nature blooms back into life.

Hair Accessories

Flower girls usually have their hair adorned with a decorative bow or ribbon. They may have their hair pulled up entirely or partially pulled back, leaving lovely full curls in the back. Either way, a bow or ribbon can be used to enhance the flower girl's attire. Find a bow or ribbon that matches the color and style of the flower girl dress if possible. If the dress has lace or beads, find a bow or ribbon that's made similar to the dress's material and design. A tiara may also be used for the flower girl's hair, depending on the type of look you want to achieve.

Jewelry for Flower Girl Dresses

For little girls, don't go overboard with jewelry. The younger the flower girl, the less likely you are to use jewelry at all. For a flower girl of age 5 or above, you might want to include a lovely, but simple necklace or bracelet. Earrings can be worn if the girl already has pierced ears, but be sure the earrings are short and simple such as single pearls or diamond-like earrings. Remember, little girls are active and move around quite a bit, so long dangling earrings might get caught on something.

Choosing Shoes for the Flower Girl

Shoes should be matched with the flower girl dress color and style. Shoes should be either flat-heeled or have a very short heel for easy walking. Be sure the shoes are comfortable. Also, consider the flower girl's size and growth rate. Wait until the wedding is very near before buying a flower girl dress or shoes to be sure the items will still fit. Most little girls grow fast!

You can also use other accessories for the flower girl dress, including a small handbag, gloves, a sash, a jacket, leg tights, and a veil (for miniature brides). Keep in mind that the flower girl will be carrying a basket of flower petals, so be careful not to give her too many things to hold.

Also, consider her parents' budget when selecting a flower girl dress - they'll be paying for it, after all. Choose a flower girl dress that can be worn for other occasions if possible. Some flower girl dresses work great as an Easter dress, a Sunday church dress, or they can be worn for family portraits.

Buying accessories for flower girl dresses is easy. You can check with formal wear stores in your local area or go online for affordable shopping from home. There are online children's boutiques and stores that carry kids' special occasion clothing. These usually offer a variety of accessories for flower girl dresses along with other similar products such as boys' suits, girls' communion dresses, and christening dresses.

With the proper accessories, your flower girl will look lovely, and her dress will complement your wedding in an amazing way!
