Second only to the bride, it’s very likely that the flower girl garners the most excitement as she parades down the wedding aisle, petals in tow. Who wouldn’t let out an “aww” or two?! A sweet way to include a niece, God-daughter, or family friend, having a flower girl in your wedding party is a tradition that plays into the cute factor as much as it precludes the big moment. And part of that total cuteness is absolutely the flower girl fashion! To help you out, we found the most adorable flower girl dresses for your little darling to dance the night away below. But first, let’s answer some frequent questions!
Where to buy flower girl dresses?
Flower girl fashion is like dressing your mini-me, so it’s no surprise that some of our favorite places to buy flower girl dresses are the same as where we shop wedding dresses! BHLDN is reliable for the latest on-trend styles and consistent price ranges, generally $75-$200. And we also love finding small businesses to support through Etsy. All the shops you’ll find in this list are vetted for original, quality designs, and excellent consistency in reviews. But that’s not all! We found a few more excellent shops and designers below.
What color are flower girl dresses?
While ivory or white is tradition, dresses for flower girls come in several colors in styles. If you know anything about us, you know we are not beholden to tradition! And that’s why you’ll certainly see some color on this list. (If you love a blush dress, get ready.)
When to order flower girl dresses?
It’s important to order the dress early—but not too early that she’ll grow out of it. If you wait too long, it might sell out. To keep things safe, we recommend ordering early and purchasing a size up that can then be tailored closer to the date if necessary. You’ll also need to consider the method of purchase. Most online stores will ship within 1-2 weeks but if the dress is custom, be sure to factor in the designer’s time frame.
Who pays for flower girl dresses?
Traditionally, the flower girl’s parents pay for the dress but the couple can offer to pay as a way to show appreciation. If the parents are paying, it’s nice to find a few dresses you like in various price ranges and let them make the final decision.
Speaking of finding dresses, it’s time to shop! Below, we’ve organized the most adorable dresses in popular categories like ivory, long sleeve, black, blush, and red.
