Flower Girl Dresses: Cheap, Discount, Infant And Toddler Wedding Attire
By:
Published: July 25, 2007
When planning a wedding, there are so many things to worry about. And appearances are everything – especially the appearances of the members of the wedding party itself. No one need mention the havoc over the bride's dress, and to a lesser extent, the dresses of her maid of honor and bridesmaids.
Fortunately, choosing flower girl dresses is usually much less of a hassle.
Flower girl dresses are nearly always available where bridal gowns and other wedding attire are sold. They can also be found in boutiques that specialize in infant wear or clothing for children, and can be ordered over the Internet as well. Some specialize exclusively in flower girl dresses – such as Flower Girl Dress For Less, an online boutique that has over ten thousand flower girl dresses, ring bearer tuxedos, and other items of formal attire for children.
Flower girl dresses can be found in all sizes and for any age group, from a toddler to a pre-teen. And they come in all sorts of styles, lengths, and colors. As opposed to bridal gowns, flower girl dresses have not changed much over the past decades, since little girls will always be enthralled by ribbons, lace, and anything else they can dress up in.
Most brides select knee-length or tea-length flower girl dresses, which fall past the knees but above the ankles. Knee-length and tea-length dresses are better for very young girls, who also tend to like their "princess" appearance. Older girls might prefer the longer flower girl dresses with a slightly more grown-up style. The girl's age is a definite factor in choosing the dress – if she is a toddler or too young to concentrate on anything other than carrying the flowers, anything too layered or flounced might cause her to stumble.
There are several key points to consider when choosing flower girl dresses. They should match the bridal gown and bridesmaids' dresses in color or color accents, cut, or style. Because of the way children constantly move around, one might opt for a wrinkle-resistant fabric. (Or, to avoid wrinkles, the flower girl can be dressed just prior to the ceremony.) The time of year and the setting of the wedding must also be kept in mind. Children have a low tolerance for overheating and other physical discomforts, and nobody wants tears, sickness, or a temper tantrum in the middle of the ceremony. For example, no heavy velvet drapery in a summer wedding. Also, simple, no-nonsense flower girl dresses are better for a pastoral or outdoor wedding, yet more elegance is desirable for a traditional cathedral ceremony. It should be perfectly feasible to make the flower girl match the rest of the wedding party without making her uncomfortable.
Many retailers, such as Eden Bridals, also offer custom-made flower girl dresses. Sometimes they will do this by offering a plain dress in one of several simply cut patterns or styles, and the special touches and decorations can be added as the customer wishes. And since themed weddings are so popular, flower girl dresses and accessories for these occasions can also be found at any place which specializes in such fashions.
Breaking the bank is unnecessary when purchasing flower girl dresses. There are many places that sell cheap but beautiful flower girl dresses, or that offer more expensive flower girl dresses at a discount. Costs are especially pertinent if someone other than the bride or groom is being asked to pay for the dress. But one should take care when buying very cheap dresses. They are usually made of lower-quality fabric which can make a child's skin break out into itching rashes. Flower girl dresses can also be re-worn for future occasions, ensuring that they will get their money's worth. A simple party or church dress can also be redesigned to match the bridal party's dresses. An easy and inexpensive idea is to take a plain white dress and add a sash or ribbons that match the color of the bridesmaids' dresses or that of the flowers in the basket.
Keeping all of these things in mind, finding exquisite flower girl dresses should be simple and affordable. A little creativity can go a long way! And one must remember that for a little girl, being a flower girl is an exciting experience. So perhaps, within reason, the flower girl may be permitted to voice her own suggestions about her dress. For a bride, happy bridesmaids are a must - as is a happy little flower girl!
