Flower Girl Dresses

The flower girl role is traditionally played by a young girl from the age of 3 to 8 years old, and her "job" is to toss petals as she walks down the aisle. She can be a relative, or close friend. This is also a great way to include your own small children in the wedding!

What to wear...

Traditionally the bride chooses the dress, and is considerate of the budget if the parents are paying...

It's customary for the parents to pay for the little one's dress, but the bride and groom will sometimes offer to buy her dress as a gift. This is especially nice if the attendants' parents are part of the wedding party!

In many cultures, the bride chooses the look of a "little bride" in all white. But, she can also match the colors of the wedding theme and/or bridesmaids. 

• Shop at department stores, and big box stores. Have a seamstress in the family? Ask them to sew a dress.
• Flower girl dresses don't have to be mini versions of the bride's gown. However, that's a very sweet look.
• They can emulate the styling of the bridesmaids dress in length, color or design.
• You can also get inspiration for the dress from your wedding theme.
• A simple dress covered with the same lace or beading as the bridal gown is a nice touch.
• Or you could just embellish a simple dress with the same wedding flowers.

Tips for choosing a dress...

• Comfort; you don't want your Flower Girl squirming at the ceremony.
• Consider length; knee-length or tea length is best to avoid tripping down the aisle or falling on the dance floor
• Save sexy styles for your older attendants. A sweet style is most appropriate for little girls.
• A trendy style or color looks great on little girls...just make sure the style is age-appropriate.
• Don't forget sweet accessories like headpieces and baskets. A simple dress with great accessories makes a fantastic look and completes the flower girl's style.
• Flower girls are adorable whether you choose chiffon or lace or pink or blue or ivory dresses. You can't go wrong, they are always a hit at a wedding.
