Every little thing matters when you’re planning a wedding, even what the flower girl is wearing. Despite being the smallest wedding party member, by having a dress on, she makes the ceremony a little bit more charming, sweeter, and unique. Here’s a little guide on how to dress your flower girl to look lovely and special.
Match the Style to Your Wedding Theme
What is the overall vibe that you want for your wedding? Is it traditional, modern, beachy, or rustic?
Lace, tulle, or satin dresses are always right for a traditional wedding. Light cotton or linen underdresses will look perfect for a party that is as relaxed as a beach or yard ceremony.
Dressing in the same colour or material will make the whole thing look more cohesive and planned.
Comfort Is Just as Important as Style
It will be clear if she’s scratching, moving around too much, or getting too hot. Pick clothes that are soft on her skin and don’t get in the way of her movements. It’s very beneficial to have materials that let air flow, especially during long rituals or hot days.
Try to find flower girl dresses that have soft linings, waistbands that can be stretched, and easy closures. These little things make it easier for her to get ready and keep her comfortable so she can walk, smile, and enjoy the moment without any trouble.
Pick a Length That Works for Her
Floor-length dresses can be beautiful, but they’re not always the best choice, especially for younger children.
She can walk around without thinking about tripping if she wears a dress that is knee- or tea-length. They’re also cooler for weddings that take place outside or in the summer.
Consider getting her a dress with a slightly shorter hem at the front if you like the way a longer dress looks. This will make it easier for her to move around.
Choose Accessories That Add a Sweet Touch
Adding easy accessories to her outfit can really make it look better. All it takes to make an outfit feel unique is a flower crown, a satin sash, or a small band. Closed-toe shoes, like ballet flats, are a good choice because they protect her feet and are easy to walk in.
Avoid items that are too big or heavy, like headpieces that are too big or jewellery that is too chunky. These things might make her feel awful and keep her from enjoying the day.
Dress for the Season and Setting
What she wears depends on the time of year and where she is. For summer, chiffon, cotton, and other light fabrics are excellent. Satin, silk, and other heavy materials work better in the winter.
If the wedding is outside, bring a cardigan or blanket in case the weather changes. Also, shoes should be right for the surface. Something that works on a church floor might not be the best for sand or grass.
Involve Her and Her Parents
She might be more excited about the day if you let her help pick out the dress if she is old enough. Give her a few choices that fit the theme so she feels like she’s a part of it all without making it too much.
Always ask her parents to make sure of the size and comfort fit. They’ll know what she likes and what fits her best.
An Outfit That’s Special and Memorable
Flower girls are small, but they bring a lot of love and happiness to your wedding. She will shine when her outfit fits her attitude, goes with the theme, and looks good on her.
