Wedding Flower Girls

Description of Flower Girl
Young girls aged between 3 yrs to 9 yrs are usually made flower girls. Flower girls are related to bride, groom or are well known to them, they may be bride's friends as well. They may be there niece or kid of their friends or relatives. As the name suggests, a flower girl carry a basket of flowers or flower petals while dispersing them on the floor in front of the bride. Once the bride reach the altar, the flower girl may then be seated with her friends or stand on the altar with the bride. If the flower girl is quite young in the age like 3-4 yrs then it is better to
let them sit with their parents, as it will be very tiring for them to stand through the entire marriage ceremony. Typically, there are more then one flower girl at the wedding, mostly it is a group of 3-5 girls.

Who pays for the flower girl dress
This varies with every wedding. Sometimes the parents of flower girl pays for the dress, sometimes it is the bride who pays for it. It all depends on the affordability of the bride and groom. If the couple getting married finds it difficult to meet all the marriage expenses then it makes more sense to request the parents of flower girl to pay for the dress and any other associated expenses. But whether it is the bride or the parents of the flower girl paying for it, it is always advisable to keep the cost low.

Training the Flower Girl
I would say that the ideal way to teach a girl on a flower girl does is to take her to a wedding and show what the flower girls are doing. This is usually required for the girls aged between 3-6 yrs as they quite young to understand it without seeing it. For girls above 6 yrs, you can get them a book to read or show a video (if available). Whatever is the training method, it is always better to put the training into practice. So, try to practice it with bride, practice will be more useful in case of little girls. Ideally, it should be practiced on how fast/slow to walk and how many flower petals to disperse. This will help in avoiding the flower girl running to the altar much before the bride and also scattering all the flower petals at the first opportunity to do it. Training a young child may be difficult as compared to the grown ups but don't forget that it is the young flower girl which adds more cuteness to your weddings with their cute smiles.

What She Should Wear:
Generally, a flower girl is dressed in a similar dress as of bride (obviously smaller in size). People usually prefer white or ivory Flower girl dress with sash that matches the bridesmaid's dresses. Whatever colour you choose but the dress should be comfortable enough for the child to wear. The fabric, stiching & length of the dress, all should be entirely comfortably for the girl. Fabric should be of good quality, smooth and silky. Stiching should be elegantly and efficiently done so that it does not come out from any place and also not itchy for the child to wear, as skin of the childern is very smooth as compared to an adult, so the extra care should be taken. The length of the dress should be around tea length, so that the dress is not short and also it is not so long that the girl is pulling at her dress or tripping over while walking. If the child is not comfortable in the dress, it will be immediately reflected on their face and in their behaviour and actions.

Where to buy flower girl dress
You can buy it from your local bridal shop or any department stores. As usually there are so many expenses associated with the marriage, so it is advisable to save money where you can. Also, if the parents of the flower girl is paying then try to choose something affodable and of good quality. Pink Girl Dresses provides beautiful flower girl dresses at highly affordable prices.
