To understand what a flower girl dress is, let's first take a look at what a flower girl is. There are various roles within the bridal party. Adult roles include the bride, groom, maid-of-honor, best man, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and sometimes even ushers are considered part of the bridal party.

Children,What are Flower Girl Dresses? Articles if available and desired, have their roles also. These could be junior bridesmaid, junior groomsmen, little bride, flower girl, and ring bearer.

Junior bridesmaids usually wear the same dresses as the bridesmaids. Little brides wear miniature versions of the brides dress. Flower girls have dresses that have somewhat the same theme, color or style, as the rest of the bridal party. However they are more styled for a child, than a teen or adult. Modern flower girl dresses have an illusion netting covering the lower half of the dress. The bottom of this netting is sealed and flowers or flower petals are placed in them.

The flower girls dress can be white if the bridal party does not include a little bride. The usual color for this dress is different from the bridesmaids. What works best is a shade or two lighter or darker than the rest of the party. You want to carry the theme in some way. For instance, if the bridesmaids are wearing green, you would not have the flower girl in a pink or red dress. A white, light green, or darker green would look great.

If you want the flower girls dress to be the same color as the bridesmaid, the style is going to be what seperates them. So let's talk about style for the bridal party. A good rule of thumb in picking the bridesmaids dresses, is that they have a similar neckline to the bridal gown. This can present a problem for the little flower girl in that most brides wear dresses that are off the shoulders. This is not an appropriate look for a child, however this can be easily fixed by picking a flower girls dress that has straps. This gives her dress a little girls summer look.

Besides the bridal gown, picking out the flower girls dress can be the most fun because her dress can be so different from the others. This gives you more freedom in selecting the dress, and also, because it's for a child you can be as lacy or ruffled as you like.

Just remember to carry your color and or style theme throughout the bridal party, and be age appropriate with the younger girls dresses. You'll be sure to have a wedding to remember.
