Choosing the Right Flower Girl Dress - Part I

It is always important to consider what will work best for the tiniest members of your wedding party when selecting your flower girl dresses. A flower girl dress can adorn your guests with adoring smiles as they watch the little girl wearing it, but selecting a dress that is too uncomfortable or to fussy for the child may have a much different result from what you were thinking.
A flower girl dress should be selected with comfort in mind. These days, some brides even change dresses between their ceremony and the reception. Your flower girl is no different. Flower girl dresses can be just as uncomfortable. Keep this in mind and consider keeping a spare, comfortable dress on hand for post ceremony events that still coordinates with your wedding party.
Tulle is a popular fabric for flower girl dresses. Tulle is also scratchy, especially for a little girl sitting through a long service waiting to eat cake! If the skirt is unlined, consider adding a soft petticoat to reduce the discomfort level.
Satin is popular and can be in shiny or matte finish. Luscious silks may be perfect fabrics for creating the perfect flower girl gown. Either way, construction of the dress is very heavy. A well constructed dress can be FAR more comfortable to wear because of the way it is finished on the inside. This is definitely worth your consideration - do you want a crying child walking down the aisle before you, or a radiant one?
Excessive amounts of accent items on flower girl dresses are something you may want to shy away from. Sequins or crystals may look shiny and beautiful while the dress hangs from a hanger, but they may be too overwhelming for a tiny flower girl. Less could definitely be more when choosing flower girl dresses.
