Choosing the Colors, Lengths & Styles of your Flower Girl Dresses

Tweet

For years, the color of a flower girl's dress was white or ivory.  Typically very understated, and more of a dressy dress than anything.  In today's world of what seems to be unlimited color selections that rule no longer "rules"!  Brides today can express themselves in whatever way fits what they have in mind.

 

 A few key points to keep in mind are.......

 

 Choose colors that compliment your over-all theme.  That doesn't mean they have to be the same as the bridesmaids dresses, it means you

want colors that compliment one another.  That can mean that the flower girls can wear a "pop" of color that accents all the other colors, or you can use a sash or headpiece with complimentary colors.  Try to imagine how those colors are going to look together in a picture.  For instance, if your color scheme includes, let's say peach.......there's nothing that says the flower girls sashes could be turquoise for contrast, or even dark orange to add some "zing" to those pictures.

Choose the length according to their ages.  If you've chosen toddlers, you'd do well to stay away from floor length dresses, because they're just more apt to trip on them than older girls.  If you're having junior brides maids, they open up a world of possibilities when it comes to length.  Just keep in mind their body frames and comfort levels before you choose the dress.  It might be a good time to consult with the mother, or if they're old enough, the girls themselves.  At Adorable Baby Clothing, most of the dresses range from infant sizes to a girl's 12 or 14, so you can create uniformity in style, but choose colors to delineate the ages.



 
 Choose a style that compliments your own dress.  There have been many weddings where the flower girls were dressed in what appeared to be a mini version of the bride's dress.  My personal opinion is, that this is your day......you deserve to stand out, and be recognized for it.  Although there's no set rule for the style of the flower girl dresses, why not let them express their "cuteness" in their own way, and become that special compliment to you. 

At Adorable Baby Clothing, you'll find a large variety of styles, colors, sizes and fabrics.  Virtually all them give you the ability to either choose the color of the dress, and/or sash and flower embellishments.  Each one is carefully crafted here in the USA, and you'll even find crinoline slips sewn in to each skirt to help retain their fullness while they're being worn.  We invite you to come and see for yourself, what a wonderful selection you'll find, and at such reasonable prices.  

As an added bonus, we offer Free Priority Mail shipping to anywhere within the contiguous United States.

When the "Littles" Are In Your Wedding

Tweet

The marriage ceremony is a celebration of two lives being joined as one.  So many brides labor over the colors, the styles, who stands where and with whom.  Probably one of the cutest elements of the bridal party are the flower girls and ring bearer........they're the "ah-ha" moments that make everyone smile.

There are no set rules for what a flower girl or ring bearer wears, but keeping your color scheme and style in mind can eliminate a lot of adorable possibilities.  If you're opting for a more formal affair, you might want to consider dressing the "littles" in the same style and theme.  They don't necessarily have to wear the same colors as everyone else in the bridal party.....sometimes it's more interesting to let them be the complimentary colors that add just a little "pop" to the over-all theme.

At Adorable Baby Clothing, you'll find a sizable selection of formal wear for both the flower girls and ring bearers.  What's even more exciting, is many of the ensembles can be color coordinated to either match your color scheme, or compliment it.  

The picture to the right is one of our most popular flower girl dresses that not only comes in several colors and sizes, but the color of the sash and flower are chosen by the bride to accent the occasion in the way she envisions.

In the picture to the left, you'll see a little boy's tuxedo that offers the same possibilities.  The bride chooses the color of the vest and tie, and now you've got a color coordinated group that will look as if you've had them custom made.  If you've decided a tux is too formal, you still have options.  For instance, you can combine some of the vests and ties from our Boys Dressy Separates Section, to compliment one of our handsome suits.  Or, how about an Eton Suit?  The Eton has been a time honored classic style the is perfect for any occasion.

The accessories for the little ones are important too.  At Adorable Baby Clothing, you'll find flower girl baskets, head pieces, bows, shoes.....just about anything to dress her up.  And, for the ring bearers, you'll find the ring bearer pillow, suits, and tuxedos, and shoes.  Once you've selected everything, you be thrilled with the "picture perfect littles" who'll add that special touch to your bridal party.

 When choosing the children for the bridal party, keep in mind their ages.  No doubt you've been to a wedding where one or all of them ran down the aisle inside of walked, or decided at the moment they were supposed to appear, that they weren't having anything to do with it.  So, no matter how cute they are, choose children who are at an age they won't suffer from "stage fright" and ruin that perfect processional you envisioned!

One last important thing to remember........PRACTICE!!!  The more familiar the "littles" are with what it will be like, the less likely they are to bolt down the runway!  Have them walk the path as many times as possible.  You know what they say......"practice makes perfect".
