Flower Girl Dresses

Flower Girl dresses are meant to catch the attention of every adult at the wedding. Everyone knows the bride will be beautiful in a white gown. The groom will be handsome in a tuxedo. The bridesmaids will have on pretty dresses too, and the groomsmen will look sharp in whatever they are wearing. The ringbearer will be adorable in his little suit. But when it comes to the Flower Girl dresses, everyone’s eyes will be on the Flower Girl as she walks down the aisle right in front of the bride and it’ll be her dress that evokes the first ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from the guests at the wedding as she daintily drops flower petals in a path for the bride to walk on.

In addition, Flower Girl dresses are meant to make the Flower Girl feel special. Like she wants to be a bride someday. Like she’s the most beautiful girl at the ball. Like she’s a Queen for the Day. Like she’s a fairy princess.

Many Flower Girl dresses are custom-made for the little girl who will carry the flower basket down the aisle. They are usually very high-quality and excellently made. Not many brides will have a wedding big enough to have a flower girl, and then skimp on the flower girl’s dress.

The most popular color for Flower Girl dresses is white. Sometimes they can seem like miniature bridal gowns. They are usually not full-length since that could
make it harder for the flower girl to walk comfortably, and she might trip on her way down the aisle. Some of the sumptuous materials used to sew Flower Girl dresses are:organza, silk, satin, tulle. The style of the dress is usually loose and not fitted, styled very femininely, sometimes with puffed sleeves and at other times with a pastel ribbon placed somewhere on the dress to give it a little color. Most of the time the dress is ¾ length to the middle of the calf or knee length.

If you are having your Flower Girl dresses custom-made, the seamstress may leave a large hem at the bottom to allow the dress to be lengthened so that the girl can continue to wear the dress to parties or other special events without growing out of it soon after the wedding.
There may be more than one flower girl in a wedding, particularly if the bride has several young relatives to honour. Historically, the clothing was provided by the families of the bride and groom, but most modern couples expect the parents of the flower girl to pay for her dress.
