Couture Flower Girl Dresses

The latest collection features puffy tulle skirts, criss cross lace backs, feathery ruffles and flower adornments in pretty pastel hues.

These sweet girls (and one dapper little dude) look like they've stepped out of the pages of a fairytale!

There's really nothing more precious than a teeny tiny flower girl all dolled up like a real little princess. Add to that a dash of vintage loveliness, and you might just be competing with her for the limelight down the aisle, and not the bridesmaids! (Just a figure of speech, so no need to go dressing her in rags.)

Before you even start considering outfits, it's important to take a long hard look at who you're dressing up. While a little girly-girl might enjoy the idea of wearing a frilly dress and adorning herself with pretty beads and hair clips, a more active little munch-kin should rather be dressed in a simpler outfit - comfortable shoes and perhaps a shorter dress.

Once that's settled, you can start dressing up your little vintage porcelain doll:

Choose a ruffly dress with plenty of soft lace detail or layers of chiffon, and fine beading.

For a more fuss-free and simple look, opt for a 1920s shift dress and jazz it up with pretty vintage jewels.

Adorn the little one with ultra-feminine and vintage jewellery such as strings of pearls, a brooch or two, or a pretty locket.

Choose a cute vintage hairstyle to complete the ensemble, such as cute soft curls, a French braid or a ballerina bun.

No vintage hairstyle is quite complete without a dainty hair accessory. Look around for a hair comb, floral hair band or beautiful online shop - something precious that she can keep, maybe for her own wedding one day

Alternatively, pop a cute little vintage hat on her head - ideal if you're dealing with an active little flower girl whose fancy hairstyle probably won't survive long.

Decorate her little flower basket with lace or chiffon, or if you're going for a more rustic style vintage feel, choose a wooden or metal pail instead of a basket.

If there's a possibility that her nerves will start shaking, allow your flower beautiful girl to walk down the aisle with her favourite doll and flower girl dress the doll in a little vintage style outfit of her own.
