Flower Girl dresses can often put the 'wow' factor in a bride's
wedding party. We all look forward to the bride wearing a beautiful
white gown. And we want to snap those photos of the handsome groom in
his tuxedo. We expect the bevy of bridesmaids to have on pretty dresses,
and the groomsmen to look sharp in their color-coordinated suits. We
all love the little ringbearer marching down the aisle. But when the
Flower Girl dresses make their appearance, everyone's eyes are on the
Flower Girls as they gingerly parade down the aisle right before the
bride. It's the Flower Girl dresses that cause the wedding guests to
smile and get teary-eyed at the thought of little girls growing up.

Flower
Girl dresses make flower girls feel like Cinderella. And they make the
Flower Girl's mother and father think about the day when she will get
married someday. The sight of their little girl in a lavishly
fashionable dress makes them fast-forward to the prom, to boyfriends, to
college, and to her wedding day....all as they watch their little
princess tossing flowers before the bride.
Flower Girl dresses are
often specially-made for the girls who precede the bride down the
aisle. These dresses are very often of high-quality fabrics and made by
meticulous seamstresses. Brides who have expensive weddings will often
choose Flower Girl dresses that sometimes rival the cost of a
bridesmaid's dress.

White is absolutely the color of choice for
Flower Girl dresses. Some of the more ornate designs can look like
miniature bridal gowns, although they are usually not full-length
dresses since that would make it more difficult for the flower girl to
walk freely, and she could risk tripping on her way down the aisle. Some
of the luxurious fabrics used in Flower Girl dresses are: organza,
silk, satin, and tulle. The most popular style of dress is most often
loose and not fitted to the body, frilly and feminine, at times with
puffed sleeves and at other times with a rich pastel ribbon on the dress
to give it a little pop of color. Modern Flower Girl dresses usually
end at the middle of the calf or at the knee.

If you're having a
seamstress make your Flower Girl dresses, ask her to leave a generous
hem at the bottom so that you can lengthen the dress later. By doing
that, the girl can continue to wear the dress to parties or other
special events without outgrowing it soon after the wedding. That can
make it a much more cost-effective purchase for the Flower Girl's
parents.

If the bride has several young relatives or children of
friends she would like to honor, there may be more than one Flower Girl
at a wedding. Traditionally, the clothing for the wedding was provided
by the bride and groom's families, but many couples today will ask the
Flower Girl's parents to pay for her dress. And most parents excitedly
agree and consider it an honor to have their daughter in a wedding
party.
