Adorable Styles of Flower Girl Dresses

Your wedding is a special day and, of course, you want everything to be perfect. Extra care should be taken to make sure the smallest details are in line. In order to ensure that everything is exactly as it should be, proper time must also be taken to get things right.

Many brides-to-be have spent hours paging through Bridal Magazines and wedding websites in search of the perfect gown. Bridesmaid dresses must be selected as well. All that remains is the selection of what your flower girl will wear down the aisle, but it can be difficult to find something age appropriate that fits the tone of your wedding. Look at these adorable styles of flower girl dresses that are sure to give you some ideas.

Flowered Dresses

Flower girls of any age will look darling in a satin dress featuring big floral blooms. For example, a white satin tank bodice looks great with a tangerine flowered skirt. Either sandals or flats go well with this age appropriate selection. Consider adding small bud or two to her hair as the perfect finishing touch.

Cuffed Dresses

Another effortless way to add color without a floral dress pattern is a cuffed dress style. This option features wide bands of color at the top and bottom hems of the dress. The cuffs could also be done in the same shade of white or ivory as the majority of the dress for the bride who prefers a monochrome look.

One option to pull off this look in style is to select a floor-length A-line satin dress. A lace-up back and delicate spaghetti straps will make your flower girl feel like a special member of your wedding party. A way to add drama is to use apple-colored cuffs and headband to accent the brilliant white of this adorable dress.

Miniature Bride

A popular trend is to dress the flower girl in a dress of similar appearance to the bridal gown. One way to achieve this look is by selecting a floor-length gown that flair from the waist. A sleeveless satin bodice with beadwork and embroidery completes this timeless look. Depending on how ornate the bridal gown is, you could even use an embroidered A-line skirt with a split front.

If there are any concerns about a dress of this kind for a younger flower girl, consider pairing the dress with a floral hair wreath that features a hint of ribbon flowing down her back. Another option is to add a crocheted sweater. Flats or ballet slippers are always a good choice for a younger girl.

Colorful Dresses

Regardless of season, colorful flower girl dresses are always in style. Using a dress color other than white is a great way for a bride to display the two different colors she has selected for her wedding. If only one color was selected then all members of the bridal party could also wear the same shade.

A satin dress with wide spaghetti straps will not only look adorable, but is also a great alternative to the thinner spaghetti straps worn by the bridesmaids. A gown in a tea-length is another substitution more appropriate for younger girls. The addition of a bow is the perfect way to either tie in the color of the rest of the wedding party or to add a coordinating shade all her own. Since this is an evergreen style, matching sandals are perfect for weddings in the spring and summer while close-toe shoes are a better option for the colder months.

Pick-up Dresses

Nothing is more adorable on flower girls than a pick-up dress – especially when the bride is in a similar style. This dress style is as functional as it is beautiful because the pick-up skirt keeps the length from becoming a trip hazard while adding body to the skirt. A white bodice displaying metallic embroidery and spaghetti straps will catch everyone’s eye as she travels down the aisle, sprinkling her petals.

If the bride has opted to wear a different color dress then the flower girl could also wear this same look in champagne-colored fabric with a lovely hazelnut sash. Ivory is another simple choice. The bride wearing a jeweled headpiece might also select a small tiara or rhinestone pins to enhance the beauty of this dress. Shoes with gemstone accents are another darling option.

The most important thing to keep sight of during the planning process is that this is your special day. While the little details can be daunting, it will soon all be worth it. No matter which adorable style of flower girl dress you choose, this youngest member of your bridal party is sure to look her best!
