Flower girl dress for that special occasion.

The style of a dress for the flower girl can do several things. It can reflect the style of the bridesmaid’s dresses in color, style, length, or any combination thereof. In some cases the dress for the flower girl can be a miniature version of the bridal gown, or it can have similar characteristics such as beading or lace.

Another possibility for a flower girl is to tie the dress in with some other aspect of the wedding decor or theme. If the bride were carrying roses in her bouquet in a Valentine’s Day wedding, a rose covered party dress would make a classy accent. A summer wedding might call for a sundress covered with daisies. Don’t be afraid to be creative!

The best places to look for flower girl dresses are catalogs, the “special occasion” section of department stores, and specific manufacturers websites. A list of manufacturers can be found as www.theknot.com. If price is a big issue, there is always the option of finding a pattern and then having someone make the dress for the flower girl. This is probably the least expensive way, but you won’t have as many choices. Above all, make sure that the dress for the flower girl is age appropriate. A five year old just doesn’t look right in a strapless dress.
