...and the tiny girls who wear them. By which I mean flowergirls, those adorable little mini-me's who bring up the 'cute factor' of any wedding party. There's something so sweet about these earnest little helpers who are given such special responsibilities at a wedding. It may be your Big Day, but its a pretty big moment for them too. Nine out of ten flowergirls are going to be just as picky as you are about what they wear (although there are those, as well, who would just as soon waltz down the aisle in a Spider Man costume. I had one of these, and I loved her for it.)
This is one of my all-time favorite dresses for really tiny girls, courtesy of Us Angels...
Too cute, right? I love that although the design is clearly for a little girl, the materials of this dress are very grownup! In silk dupioni and Alencon lace, this dress could potentially be a perfect match for the rest of the wedding party without looking too old for a little girl. The natural structure of the silk makes a pretty bell shape and the lace adds fanciness to the top while keeping the cut simple. Also the fabric is extremely light, which is nice for little ones who may not be used to sporting formalwear for long stretches...
Another big trend right now is putting the flowergirl in a white dress like the bride, but with a little color accent to tie in with the bridal party. Us Angels has some lovely options here as well. This style, for instance, is available in sixteen different sash colors and five different shades for the floral detail:
Oh, the possibilities are endless. Then again, if you and your smallest attendant agree that she needs a unique showstopper of her own, you may want to check out Joan Calabrese's collection for Mon Cheri. Every design in there is a winner:
And on the other hand, if she really pushes for that Spider Man thing, maybe its worth considering. At least let her change for the reception - after all, a wedding is nothing if not an expression of personal style...
