… and Flower Girls

My little niece will be two years old in June. Will she make it down the aisle? Maybe. Will she look adorable? ABSOLUTELY!
I’ve been checking out various dresses. I know she’ll look adorable in almost any dress, so I don’t want to spend too much money. My goal is to match my bridesmaid dresses (and I don’t want to go with lavender). I will most likely have to go with a white or ivory dress with a purple sash. (Question: If my dress is ivory, can my niece wear a white dress?)
Because I’m tired of looking, I’ll probably go with the basic Us Angels through NetBride which offers great prices (under $100 for most styles). My sister likes organza skirts, so generally speaking, all-silk dresses are out.
Storybook has some great dresses, many for $100 or less, but none that would go with my purple bridesmaid dresses:
Pegeen almost has too many dresses to chose from (I’m not the best decision maker … okay, that’s a HUGE understatement). Miss Ladybug bought her flower girl’s dress there, so I’m waiting for her reviews. The dresses are priced at $99 (for in-stock specials) to $199, depending on size and style. They carry 66 colors of silk in stock and for an extra charge, can provide custom fabrics:
I love the custom dresses from String of Pearls Designs as featured in this knottie’s wedding. The dresses (for a few styles about which I inquired) range from $150 - $260 (depending on the style and size). For my size 3T niece, the dress would be $190 - although over my budget, the quality of the dresses is supposed to be fantastic, and the styles are on par with the pricey Kaya Couture and ultra-pricey Joan Calabrese.
Looking to spend less than $50 on dresses? If you live in NYC, try Century 21 - they have a large selection of pastel colored flower girl and Easter dresses and even carry some styles from Us Angels for $49. One warning, many of the dresses are a bit dusty around the edges and will need to be dry-cleaned.
On the internet, there are too many sources to list, check ebay or just google “flower girl dresses.” The best I’ve found are these dresses for $42 from Briar Patch; too bad they don’t come in my colors!

About Me: I was born in the city of Donetsk in the former Soviet Union (now the Ukraine) and grew up in Brooklyn. Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well. We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!
i’ll give you an update as soon as they come in. promise.
