Matching Bridesmaid And Flower Girl Dresses
Cute Matching Bridesmaid and Flower Girl Dresses
With todays flower girl being older and more mature,
more brides a choosing matching bridesmaid and flower
girl dresses. Matching bridesmaid and flower girl
dresses work best with flower girls over the age of 9.
Having all of the attendants, including the flower girl
match, creates a uniform look. This uniform look works
nicely in photographs, especially if the attendants are
wearing a dark or rich color.
If your flower girl is younger than 9 it can be
difficult to find a matching dress in her size. However,
if you are having your dresses made, you can get away
with a younger flower girl. Keep in mind however, that
little girls should look like little girls, and not
women. So, if you think your flower girl is too young
for the bridesmaid dress, then consider finding her one
that is the same shade. This will allow for that uniform
look, but also let the little girl look her age.
If you choose to use a different style dress in the same
color, beware that some colors offer varying shades on
different fabrics. Try to stick with the same fabric. If
your bridesmaids are wearing satin, then try to find a
satin flower girl dress. Mixing too many fabrics looks
messy in pictures.
Having the dresses made is the best option if you want
your matching bridesmaid and flower girl dresses to be
exactly alike. Some dress companies will offer lines
with a matching flower girl dress included, but they are
usually for larger flower girls, so if you have a small
flower girl they may not work for you. Do some research
online and in wholesale bridal magazines to find
collections that include matching bridesmaids and flower
girl dresses.
If you decided to go with matching bridesmaid and flower
girl dresses, consider changing the traditional flower
girl basket. Instead of using the basket, why not let
the flower girl carry a small round ball of flowers? A
ribbon attached to the inside of the ball and surrounded
with flowers holds these popular alternatives.
Choosing matching bridesmaid and flower girl dresses
allows the flower girl to look more grown up. Therefore,
having her carry the little girl basket may not look
appropriate. This interesting new flower option allows
her to fall somewhere in the middle.
This is also an easy item to create. To make this item
yourself, buy a flower foam ball, ribbon, pins, and faux
flowers. Simply cut the buds off of the flowers and
stick them down into the foam. Before filling the top,
cut a strip of ribbon and attach it to the ball with
pins or hot glue in a loop shape. This will be her
handle. Then continue adding buds until the ball is
completely covered. Your finished product will be
beautiful.
Use these helpful tips and ideas if you choose matching
bridesmaids and flower girl dresses to create a
beautiful wedding day look. Remember to allow plenty of
time for your dresses when matching them and be
flexible!
