Flower Girl dress?

How shold I go about the flower girl dress? I am giving my bridesmaids the option of dress (I am picking out 6-7 dresses and they can pick 1 from those) but I don't knwo what to do with the flower girl dress. The flower girl is my fiancee's cousin's daughter



Do I pick out a few dresses that I like and tell the mother or do I just tell the mom some generallized things of what I would like (ivory, long, etc.) and send her a picture of my wedding dress so she can have it match slightly?
Flower Girl dress?
I would send a pic of your gown...and give a gentle generalization.



Paying $100 and up for an adult gown is one thing..paying the crown jewels for a child's dress is a different critter.



She may have a communion dress that she can wear...or can duel purpose your flower girl dress! That would be great!



A friend told me she got a custom made dress on ebay for her daughter for $25.00!



I saw the dress...and this friend has IMPECABLE taste (sephora, coach, louis, klein..etc..) and the dress was amazing!
Reply:I would definitely tell the mother that you need to approve the dress. Also, someone else suggested eBay. I have friends that have found lovely flower girl dresses on eBay--worn once and in perfect shape!
Reply:Pick it out yourself so you will know the exact look you want for her and your wedding. PPl tend to have a different vision then what you are actually looking for.
Reply:There are some lovely dresses on jcpenney.com - some white, some coloured, depending upon what you want. They are beautiful, but way less expensive than 'wedding' site dresses. Another option is to look for First Communion dresses.
Reply:I picked out the pattern that I wanted for the flowergirls (we had 3 of them) and my stepMIL had a friend of hers make them.
Reply:I'm not sure wht to do here either but i think i'll pick a few that i like, one that matches me, one that matches the colour of the bridesmaids and a few others and then take the flower girls and their mother to see them all and see which one comes out on top, you have the casting vote :)
Reply:I would pick it if I were you. I am in the middle of planning a wedding too and I am discovering that when you give people the option to do things, they tend to do what they want and not what you want. I would pick it out and have them pick it up or do the things necessary to have it ready. Congratulations!
Reply:Its up to you, whatever you want her to look like, you or the bridesmaids...or totally different!



you may run across something you love for the flowergirl in the regular kids departments, especailly with Easter coming up.



My bridesmaids wore jade green and carried purple flowers, but I wanted my flowergirl to look like a girl, and I wanted her to be able to wear the dress again. Gowns are such a big expense, and theres really no where else for a little girl to wear it. We found a beautiful regular dress with flower print in lighter shades of the purple and green.



she looked fabulous!



*EDIT* since you are so far away and cannot go together to pick something out, I would say find out her size and choose something for her, or find something at a chain store (like davids bridal, jcpenney, or sears), so they can try on the same one where they live.
Reply:For me, my flower girl was hard to fit, she's so skinney so I just let her mother shop. She picked out several that fit, then I decided which one I liked the most.

Flower girl dress?

Hi. I am trying to find a good flower girl dress that will complement my wedding dress, but I have a question. My wedding dress will be "diamond white" -- a very pale ivory that looks white as long as its not directly next to something stark-white.



Most flower girl dresses, it seems, come in just white or ivory. Which would you recommend? I'm afraid if I get white for the flower girl, it will make my dress look a bit dingy, but if I get ivory, it will look out of place with a blue-and-white color scheme. Has anyone had this dilemma? Which color did you choose? How did it look?



Matching the flowergirl dress to the blue bridesmaid dresses is not an option. The bridesmaid dresses are of pacific blue silk dupioni -- I've never seen a flowergirl dress of this color or material.



Thanks!

I also had this problem. we just purchased white flower girl dresses from davids bridal. we had pink sashes made for around the waist of the dresses to tie everything together. you could use red or navy and that would draw attention to that color instead of the difference in yours and their colors!

Good Luck and congrats!
Reply:Please don't put the flower girl in a color. They look so great in the traditional white. To answer your question- Put the flower girl in white. My dress is also diamond white, my flower girl is in white. You can't tell the difference and they look great next to each other. Putting her in ivory would be off and more than likely noticeable. At the bridal shop I went to they recommended white for other accessories for me as well. The veil I ordered is white. The difference in diamond white and white is very subtle if even noticeable to most humans. Go with white!
Reply:Definitely do a white dress for the flowergirl with the matching sash. Chances are you won't look awful standing next to her for a photo. It's not like people are going to notice that teeny of a detail on your wedding day. They're going to be seeing how beautiful both of you look. So yeah, make her sash sky-blue like the ring-bearer, and she'll perfectly match the theme.
Reply:This place has flower girl dresses available in diamond white, and you can have colored accents as well. I think if you google diamond white flower girl dresses you can find some options that you will like.

Reply:What color flowers are you carrying? If you are carrying pink or yellow flowers, you could put the flower girl in that color. (Red may be a little too patriotic for your tastes.) You could also find a little black dress with blue accents (sash, trim) so that she will match the groomsmen.
Reply:try pink or liliac(light purple)

you dont' want to get the in same color as you

for my wedding, i wear ivory, my bridesmaid wear liliac, and my flower girls wear pink.

try look in ebay. some sell very cheap around $50
Reply:This would be perfect
Reply:i like the: http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?...
Reply:My colors are turquoise and brown and we got white dresses and my gown is ivory. We put turquoise sashs on them and they look darling.



By the way we got our dresses on Ebay. They came with head pieces as well.
Reply:when i was a flower girl I wore a pink dress. The bride wore a dimond whit dress. Try pink. Congrats!
Reply:White for the flower girl is best - she's not going to be directly beside you for long, if you are so worried about the color shade thing - though you shouldn't be.

Another alternative is to get a printed dress.

Try US Angels.
Reply:David's Bridal is a good one. Other idea, ask around for someone who sews well, find a fairy dress pattern you like, have them help you choose the material, etc. and make it for you that way you can actaully have what you want.

Flower Girl Dresses?

I know there is no right ot wrong way to do it, but i wanted to get opions. Did you have your flower girl in white, or the same colors as the bridesmaids.
Flower Girl Dresses?
My colors are kiwi,lavender and yellow. The bridesmaids are wearing kiwi and lavender, the flower girl is wearing a yellow dress. The bridesmaids are going to carry a bouquet of different colors listed above and the flower girl is going to drop yellow rose petals. They match the bouquet that I am carrying. Your flower girl does not have to match you. You can have her wear what you want.
Reply:I'm having the flowergirl in white. Her style of dress is very similar to my dress. When I was a flowergirl, back in the day, my dress was hand-made to match my aunt's wedding dress so i've always had the image that the flowergirl is a mini version of the bride.
Reply:I had mine in a different color. If you are looking for inexpensive bridesmaid jewelry sets online, you may want to check out http://www.glamforless.com/Jewelry.htm. I got my bridesmaid jewelry from them and they were very happy. Their bridesmaid jewelry is also very inexpensive. Good luck.
Reply:We didn't have one. However I like it when the flower girl is in white, instead of matching the bridesmaids. I think it makes her stand out, very special.
Reply:You usually put the flower girls in white because they are also virgins.
Reply:white is the best and is it petal flowers cuz that the most best

flower in the world for sure %26gt;%26lt;

Have you tried Adams? They have fairy themed bridesmaids dresses! The have a section in the updated summer 07 Littlewoods catalouge as well..

Or try eBay, search for this seller ALL-YOUR-DREAMS-AND-MORE or try city4-utd0, this lady makes the dresses to measure.. about ��30-45
Reply:PETER PAN ............Have them wear sweet little night-

gowns, slippers, and little pointy-floppy hats, carrying a teddy bear, a blanket, and a candle (not with a flame, but a light-

bulb)...........sounds like a wonderful wedding.
Reply:I know it may sound obvious, but have you tried E-bay, or maybe if you buy some material cheep and have someone make them. Good luck and congratulations, I'm sure you will have a great day.
Reply:davids bridal.

Reply:Look at JC Penney's and or Sears. I hope that I helped you out.
Reply:I recently got married (April 7). I got my little girls dress, she was my flower girl, off of Ebay. It was just beautiful! I believe the Ebay store was "Ducklings and Daffodils". Good Luck!
Reply:Don't only look in bridal shops - there are lots of big department stores which have beautiful dresses - just sometimes called "first communion" dresses, which are out this time of year.
Reply:Someone told me a week ago to check out the good will shops. They said that after people get married the bridesmaids and flower girls donate there dresses because they will never wear them again. I was wondering what to buy my daughters to wear to my own wedding and this was what someone told me!!! If your not comfortable with that, just stop by one of those places that sale second hand stuff. I did stop in and did a look see one day and they had some really beautiful wedding dresses bridesmaids dresses and flowergirl dresses.
Reply:I am getting married Jan. 2009 and my theme is winter, Snowflakes, blues, silvers, whites. I found that a simple none expensive way to dress the flower girl and other kids is to go to www.weddingtutu.com/ they have these tutu's that are simpli and the girls can use them later for dress up. My suggestion is to look at tutu's and leotards for the girls. Maybe a super fluffed up tutu and ballet slippers for the 4 year old and a longer tutu for the 8 year old. If you find something you like, go to a Joan Fabrics and find a simple pattern to make them (to save even more money if you know someone who can sew).
Reply:definitely try www.houseofbrides.com !! They have discounted prices on all the different dresses you could need! You have to view the dresses by each designer, but they have a bunch of cute ones. Oh, and the ones under Mary's have a lot of princessy looking dresses!! I hope you can find what you are looking for!!!
Reply:go to a store that has pattern find one you like and make it, or get someone to make it plus the patterns are only like 6.00

I wanted a dress to look just like my dress so i got a pattern and had my mom make it. it looked great. and it only cost ed 19.00 all together. or toy r us custom dress they have little dress that look really good and cheep.
Reply:maybe it sounds a little intimidating but if you or somebody in your family has a sawing machine you can make them. it is very easy, you only need one pattern because it has many sizes, it costs about $1.50 the fabric if you choose satin {which is very beautiful and it looks very expensive} for the two dresses, it's no more than $30.00 at $6.50 a yard regular price you can always find specials. tulle, is right now $1.50 a yard at Hancock's. I made my granddaughter's 4 and 7 and very little one 9 month dresses for less than $40.00,plus with the remnants I made the ring bearer pillow,the flower baskets and the bride and groom pew pillows. Plus two flowers {same fabric} for their hair using a non-expensive barrette.that is if you choose satin. But there is other fabrics you can use less expensive ,nice all the same.I did all this for my daughter wedding this coming may.So I know DIY It's the only way to really stretch your budget when you are having that kind of a fairy tale wedding.You still have time to look around as I did some dresses were cheap but so was the fabric! the I would have to pay a significant sum of money to have them done plus the cost of fabric. For us, it worked. I wish you all the luck searching, don't forget to check small bridal stores, sometimes they have good deals, like if you buy this, you can have that for a fraccion etc... hope it helped.
Reply:I have 4 and 8 year old flowergirls and I just got their dresses on Ebay. One was $10 and the other was $11
Reply:Ebay would be awesome.... I also saw a dress at a wedding with a tulle skirt with rose petals in it. It was so nice
Reply:Hey chick - try Debenhams, BHS and Monsoon - all do BEAUTIFUL dresses and BHS in particular is very reasonable :O) xx
Reply:Here is a site for some beautiful flower girl dresses at some very good prices



http://www.pinkprincess.com/flower-girl-...
Reply:If you are UK Adams, La Rue Layfette (unsure of spel), BHS and Debenhams have really inexpensive flower girl dresses. I think the most expensive about ��65 and some a lot cheaper. With BHS they also sell sashes etc if you wish to tone in with bridesmaids colours as most are ivory dresses. However, even with other stores you can always get material and change sash and bow if you wish. PS Larger M %26amp; S also has flower girl dresses but I didn't rate theirs.
Reply:sometimes the most simple dresses can be most effective, why dont you draw what you want in the dresses and bring them so someone who might makes them for you?
Reply:T K MAX. They have some really good deals there. My friend got all her bridesmaid dresses from there and they were beautiful. Other than that i'd look on ebay. Congrats and good luck hun x
Reply:yes i do yes i do yes i do yes i do yes i do yes i do yes i do yes i do
Reply:Ask at a local college or put signs up where they have fashion courses maybe somebody there will take you up on the offer or the lectures may be able to put you in touch with somebody or maybe trawl througyh you local phone book. Congratulatons and best wishes for the future

Use angel wings The feathered kind from halloween and have them use those. Since you are doing a fairytale theme it would look beautiful.I loved the idea I seen it in pictures when I was checking out photographers but it dosen't really go with my thene.
Reply:Check out DavidsBridal.com- and by the way, congrats on the big day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Look at David's Bridal online or maybe try ebay.

    It was A LOT cuter in person. I wish you could see it... :-( The bottom is done in layered organza-like fabric shaped like long leaves. And my seamstress took extra fabric from the bridesmaids' dresses and made the flowered "belt" out of that. (The flowergirl dress was white.)



    AND: both my flower girls wore their dresses again. $75 is still a lot to spend on a dress, so I was happy to see pictures of them wearing the dresses at formal dinners and again on Easter!

    Reply:Perfect timing for this question. My flower girls purchased their dresses around Easter time...when all of the area department stores had their pretty white dresses out!!! We got all three flower girl dresses at JCPenney for super cheap. We had a 2 year old that we put in a cute lavender frilly Easter dress for like $25!!! The other girls were around $50-80 because they were older (7 and 10).



    Go to your local department store - Sears, JCPenney, Kohl's, etc - and look for Easter dresses or even First Communion Dresses. Since she is 2 years old, you might be able to find something under Christening Gowns!



    I agree that you shouldn't spend much on her dress. Be sure to buy a size up in case she grows a bit between now and the wedding!

    You don't need to shop for a 'flower girl dress' look for an easter dress that's on sale. And if you get a dress that's not designed for a wedding specifically she might beable to wear it again. Remember though that white on toddlers tends to stain quickly.

    Reply:My flower girl ended up getting her dress at Ross. They just went with the colors of the bridesmaid dresses. I do know that sometimes the bridal shops put their flower girl dresses on sale. We almost got her one of those. It was still $50. And you take them as is. It all depends o what you want her in. I personally thought it was crazy to spend that much on a dress so I told them whatever they could afford in the color of my bridesmaids dresses. Good luck!
    Reply:NOt trying to be mean or rude but you're spending 600 dollars on your dress and you're only going to wear it once! Besides, when you're done with both dresses you can sell them on ebay and get some of the money back.
