Tips for Flower Girl Dresses

I've spent the past half-hour on the Internet, looking at some of the grandest and loveliest Flower Girl Dresses . There seems to be no dearth in designs of flower girl dresses. You can find dresses in materials like silk, organza, and satin, and with lashings of trimmings in lace, tulle, satin ribbons, seed pearls, beaded appliques, corded rosettes, and much more. One that really caught my eye was a white flower girl dress on online Topons with a white princess style bodice, puffed sleeves, and a layered tulle skirt, sprinkled with pink and cream silk rosebuds. Another had a satin sleeveless corset back bodice accented with beaded rosettes and a full ankle-length skirt, trimmed with seed pearls around the hem, and lined with a crinoline underneath to give it a great ball-style effect. Make sure you have the correct size.

A small child can grow up quickly in a short period of time. If you are planning your wedding six months or a year in advance, pick dresses that have seams that can be let out if necessary. Get the flower girl's exact measurements and see that you get a dress fitting those. Or you can take the measurements and get a custom flower girl dress made. Your local tailor probably will be happy to pitch in and help. If not, look online. There are plenty of dressmakers and fashion design businesses offering custom flower girl dresses. You can send them the measurements over the Internet, select dress designs from their online catalogue, and ask them to send you material swatches by regular post. Once you have made your selection and have placed your order, they will normally deliver the dress within six to ten weeks. You can also place a rush-job order, but, of course, you will be required to pay an additional fee for that. Choose a color that works with the color of the bridesmaid's dresses you have chosen.

As a white flower girl dresses is always in fashion. If your bridesmaids have picked out dresses in the same color, use the same color for the flower girl's dress. If the bridesmaids have chosen dresses in several different shades, consider a different shade for the color of the flower girl's dress. For example, a small child can look quite dainty and pretty in a pastel shade of mint green when followed by older members of the wedding in shades of emerald and shamrock. Look for a dress that a small child will find easy to wear. A simple a line dress will allow the child to get in and out of it without fuss. A shorter hemline is less likely to be stained later on or prove a tripping hazard as the child walks to the altar. Avoid complicated fastenings that may catch on a child's fingers or get easily lost or broken. Bring the child with you so she can try the dress and get involved in the fitting process.

Consider other factors as well. Think carefully about your use of materials in the entire wedding. Ideally a flower girl dress should complement all other aspects of the wedding. If you are using lace and satin, trim the child's dress with this fabric. If you are having a fall wedding a flower girl can look quite elegant in a color such pumpkin that reminds guests of the season.
