… and Flower Girls

March 12th, 2006 @ 9:49 pm by Mrs. Firefly

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!

I think my flowergirl’s mom just purchased a white dress at century 21 because I live right next to it. No matter what they wear they’ll be adorable! =)
