What color should my flower girl's dress be?

She is 8 and I am thinking that she may be a bit old to match me.

My dress is ivory and the bridesmaid's dresses are black. Each bridesmaid has a different bright accent color for their bouquet (red, purple, yellow, orange and a teal), with my bouquet having all of the colors. The groomsmen will have coordinating bright color ties and boutineers. I was thinking the flower girl and ring bearer would have the pink accent color. Would a pink dress be too bright with the rest of the dresses such neutral colors?

What color would you recommend putting her in?

How about a pewter colored dress (%26amp; tux for the ring bearer)? The accents could match you in that she could have some of all the other 'Maid's colors (as opposed to a single color).
Reply:Why not have her in black too...especially if the groomsmen and ring bearer are wearing black as well...and you could still use the pink as an accent. My fiance's daughter is gong to be a flower gril in his best friends wedding in Feb..she is 8 also...and she is wearing a black dress....I think it's actually going to look beautiful!!
Reply:i would put her in an ivry dress with pink accent.

i know what you are going thro i am helping my little sister do her wedding and it is a nightmare to plan all this!
Reply:I really don't think she'd look too bright if you went with a pink dress- depending on the shade of pink. I think it would look really bold if you went with a color that coordinated with the pinks, orange or teal that you already have in your palette.



But if you don't want her in something bright, you could put her in a pastel shade or black dress or gold (a shade that would compliment your ivory) dress. And accent it with a silk flower pin or sash in the bright pink.



Since she's 8- she could likely get away with a black dress, especially if you chose a junior bridesmaid style dress than the frou-frou puffy things most people associate with flower girl dresses worn by the 4 and under crowd.

Reply:I think she would look fine in an ivory dress but maybe put a black sash around it. I just don't think pink would compliment your colors.

Reply:Honestly, I do like your pink dress idea (what if the style matched the bridesmaids). But I also think she'll feel extra special matching you, of course depending on her maturity.



I say if she's more of the mature level, go with the pink. If she's still a kid (I think you know what I mean..) go with matching you!
Reply:i work at a bridal shop and i definitly dont think 8 is too old to match you! good luck!
Reply:same dress as your brides maids, with a pink accent.
Reply:I had mine (who was 8 as well) in a white dress with a bow that went around her waist that was the color of the bridesmaids dresses (you can get them at davids bridal). Here is the best shot I can get of the whole dress - she is covering up the bow/belt with her flowers in every other picture.

you should have her with the black bow/belt and have her flowers have a little of every bridesmaids to make a nice arrangement.
Reply:i definetely say pink!

not to bright, maybe a lighter pink!
Reply:Is there a fusia in there? that would be stunning for the flower girl dress! Non stop compliments! :)
Reply:Have her in the same color as your dress with a pink sash..then her bouquet with all the colors in her bouquet.
Reply:Pink might seem odd as it is no where in your color scheme. Pick one of the acent colors for them or two complimentary colors, one for each! Purple and teal would be nice together? Or have the ring bearer in a black vest and pick just one of the colors for the flower girl? I saw a color scheme like this once and they had a black sash on the flower girls dress too and it looked very nice. You have lots of options though I do think pink would look out of place. My personal pick would be red! Good luck and best wishes!



Oops, I should clarify - not an entirely red or black or whatever dress. Ivory with the red or black or whatever in a sash!
Reply:I would do black with pink accents then... pink would be too bright in my opinion
Reply:baby'blue..dats nice..
Reply:Have her wear black to match your bridesmaids (may have to order specially; I'm sure most dress boutiques have many catalogs and would help you w/ this. Forever Yours has many colors in small sizes. I'm having my flower girl wear burgundy or lilac. The groomsmen are grown up enough to deal w/ "girly" colors, but make sure you little ring bearer won't throw a fit over the color pink as an accent. He may be at an age where pink=girls=cooties. :)
Reply:What about a raspberry color? I think that might look nice with the rest of the colors you mentioned. Or maybe you can have the flowergirl match the color of the maid of honor and the ring bearer match the color of the best man. That would look cute...

You know what tool I found helpful as far as colors go...David's Bridal has a tool on their website called "Dress Your Wedding." It may not have the same dresses as your girls have, but you can still have the dresses in black and they allow you to add any color ribbon that you want. You can also add the flower girl into the wedding scene and dress her up with different dress/colors as well. It's pretty neat and it gives you a good idea of how all the colors will look together...

Give it a try; worked well for me

Reply:pink coz shes still 8
Reply:I would put her in a white or ivory dress with accents in one of the other accent colors. I think its good that that you are not getting her a matching dress. I think it looks too weird and corny.
Reply:ususally the flower girls dress matches the bride. so ivory or white . I wouldn't do pink that would look funny. u could do a black w. pink accents, but black is a bit dark for such a young girl. I think the best bet is ivory or white with a pink ribbon. the black will make her look older!
Reply:You need a little splash of color and your flower girl would be the perfect person to provide it. The right shade of pink would be great.
