Flower Girl And Junior Bridesmaid Dresses
Dresses for the Kids
You have been swept off your feet by your knight in
shining armor and have decided to ride off on his white
horse with him. The wedding plans are well underway and
you have selected honored guests to stand as witnesses
for you.
If you are like most brides today, you have elected to
honor a younger sister, favorite niece, daughter, or
soon-to-be step daughter by asking them to be a junior
bridesmaid and or a flower girl, which means you now
need flower girl and junior bridesmaid dresses.
Flower Girl and Junior Bridesmaid Dresses
Most brides have an idea about how to dress their flower
girl, however, when it comes to junior bridesmaids and
their dresses, things are not always so clear. In fact,
often the honor comes without much thought to the
clothing. This is okay, except that your junior
bridesmaid may not feel a part of the wedding without
having a special dress to wear. In addition, she will
be apart of the wedding photographs and as the bride you
will want to make certain that the dress is appropriate
in style and color.
Some brides opt to have a junior bridesmaid dress in the
same style as the bridesmaids. While this is fine, it
might not be appropriate as bridesmaid dresses are
usually designed for a more mature woman. Perhaps you
will want to consider a dress that is similar in color
without the same elegance, cleavage, or backless-ness.
Another option is to have the flower girl and junior
bridesmaid dresses match. Regardless of the choice, keep
it simple, and remember there is no need to complicate
the process by adding a whole different clothing line to
the wedding party.
When selecting your flower girl and junior bridesmaid
dresses, keep in mind that it is not important to spend
a lot of money. Many brides purchase their flower girl
and junior bridesmaid dresses at a retailer such as
Mervyns or J.C. Penney and some elect to shop at a
discount store such as Walmart.
Hiring a seamstress is often surprisingly less expensive
than buying a dress off the rack and additionally allows
you more freedom of choice in color, fit, and fabric.
Whatever you choose, keep in mind that these dresses are
meant to make the flower girl and junior bridesmaid a
true part of your wedding party and no one, outside of
those funding the wedding, will know where you purchased
these dresses.
The Role of the Flower Girl and Junior Bridesmaid
Now that you have your precious flower girl and junior
bridesmaids, what do you do with them? You dont want to
have three or four young people sitting around with
nothing to do except look cute and carry a few flowers
down the aisle.
Instead, keep the younger members of the bridal party
busy and give them a sense of responsibility. The task
should not be too difficult nor should come with too
many expectations of perfection. Here are some ideas
that you can use to busy the hands of your young,
honored guests. Have them:
Hand out your wedding program
Give fans to the ladies
Take gifts or cards
Make sure everyone signs the wedding book
Check on Grandma and older guests to make sure they
dont need anything
Keep people coming in or out a particular door
routing traffic
Take coats or jackets
As you can see, the task can be simple and yet give the
flower girl and junior bridesmaid an opportunity to
honor you and show off their gorgeous dresses. Armed
with these simple steps your honorees are certain to
feel like they are an essential part of your wedding
day.
