Choosing The Best Flower Girl Gown - Part I

By: Janet Donahue Home |


How do you select the best flower girl dresses for the tiniest members of your wedding party? A flower girl gown can make your guests gush with adoring smiles at the little girl wearing it, but selecting the wrong dress or one that is uncomfortable can create a scenario much different from what you were thinking.

A flower girl dress should be selected with comfort in mind. These days, some brides even change dresses between their ceremony and the reception. Your flower girl is no different. Flower girl dresses can be just as uncomfortable. Keep this in mind and consider keeping a spare, comfortable dress on hand for post ceremony events that still coordinates with your wedding party.

Tulle is a popular fabric for flower girl dresses. Tulle is also scratchy, especially for a little girl sitting through a long service waiting to eat cake! If the skirt is unlined, consider adding a soft petticoat to reduce the discomfort level.

Shiny or matte satin or rich silks may seem like perfect fabrics for creating the perfect flower girl dress. However, the construction of the dress is very important; it can make the dress comfortable or scratchy. And, be thoughtful of the weight of the fabrics/volume of the gown on the tiny ones.

Excessive amounts of accent items on flower girl dresses are something you may want to shy away from. Sequins or crystals may look shiny and beautiful while the dress hangs from a hanger, but they may be too overwhelming for a tiny flower girl. Less could definitely be more when choosing flower girl dresses.
