Wedding Blog

We’re having two flower girls…my niece (who I am head over heels crazy about) and the daughter of close family friends on Mr. Sundae’s side of things, who we’ve known since she was born. The two of them together are going to be painfully cute, but I’ve actually been avoiding this post because finding their dresses seems quite daunting to me.

I want to find dresses that allow them to look like the adorable little girls that they are, and be comfortable enough to romp and dance. Plus, my niece will only be a little over a year old so we have to find a dress that comes in both toddler and little girl sizes. Another addition to the list of things I was clueless about prior to wedding planning, I had NO idea how expensive flower girl dresses are! I really don’t want to ask anyone to pay over $100 for a little girl’s dress. I realize that most people have to end up going that route, and that it’s much easier, it’s just not the choice for me. So, in my search for alternatives I’ve come up with a few candidates. First up, this little pintuck number from Janie & Jack. I am not wild about the rose but I am guessing it can be removed. I picture it with a little green cardigan ($58):

And then there is this green polka dot dress from Olive Juice kids ($58). I love the collar and think it would look adorable with a white cardigan. I would be completely sold on this one, but I wish that the skirt was fuller. A friend suggested it might work with a little poofy slip underneath it:

And then there is this one this at Ralph Lauren ($60). There is a child size and a toddler size up to 24 months, so there is one to fit everyone. Again, with a little white cardigan, it would be adorable.

And the one for the tiny little people:

I am still going to keep looking, but am leaning heavily towards either the RL or Olive Juice Kids dresses. Which is your favorite?
