I’m so so so excited!! We finally received our flower girl dress in the mail. Since before I started writing on Weddingbee, I’ve wanted to get her dress at Monsoon. I saw a Real Wedding in a Martha Stewart Wedding magazine and loved the dresses the bride found at Monsoon. They looked like girls playing dress up, and that’s exactly how I wanted our flower girl Madison to feel.
One problem - they only ship to the United Kingdom… leaving this Pacific Ocean girl sad. So what did I do? I scoured e-bay for a Monsoon dress to my liking, in good condition, and in our flower girl’s size for 6 months!!! A little obsessive I know. My friends and family told me to give up about 3 months ago, but I loved the Monsoon dresses, and the prices were really reasonable for how beautiful they were. Well my loves, my wish came true 2 weeks ago, because the dress finally went up for bid and I won!
Check out our gorgeous flower girl dress. Oh, and the final price with shipping: $38…
Niiicceee
I love all the intricate bead and sequin detailing
I love our flower girl dress so much - but I had to dedicate a lot of time and sanity to finding it. How’s your search coming?
Ahh! I loved a bunch of Monsoon outfits for my niece/flower girl and had my credit card and my online shopping cart full before I realized they didn’t ship int’l. I never even thought of ebay! Duh! Thanks for the reminder, seriously!
love it. and i’m sure your flower girl will to!
Well worth the effort! I would have LOVED to wear that when I was little 
That is the most gorgeous little flower girl dress EVER. I want one like it for my girls!!
So perfect! Can’t wait to see the pictures!
this is soooo amazing!

That’s great. We found my future step daughter’s dress(she’s 
@ the Nordstrom Rack for $29! What was crazy was #1.We weren’t looking, so it was way lucky. #2. It was an adult size small, she wears kids size 7… yet it’s perfect, we’re just having it taken in a bit!
PS. It sure would have been a super short dress on a woman!

that wasn’t meant to be a smile! it was an “8″ followed by ” ) “… i didn’t know that would make a smile!
I’m an English bride but love visiting the hive every day to find out tips from the american bees. It’s funny that you love Monsoon so much, it is lovely, but I love all your stores in America and have arranged to be able to have things shipped to me through ACCESS US mail service to England. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side and maybe I should set up something similar here for a small fee.
hanmay you need to set up something. The stuff there is great, why is it that there are locations in every country but the US. I was seeing they have stores in Japan and how I could ship it to relatives there but alas no only in the UK. We need monsoon in the states. Someone start a petition. That dress is adorable.
that is the cutest and most stylish flower girl dress…….she’s going to love it.
I totally know the spread you’re talking about, and that’s exactly what I wanted for the little ones in our ceremony! I didn’t have any luck finding the exact Monsoon dress, so I opted for a plainer dress, but jazzed up sparkle shoes. I’m glad you were able to find it!!
That’s a gorgeous flower girl dress. I love the 1920s/30s feel to it.
Thanks everybody!!!!!
@haselwand: You’re welcome! And don’t worry- I did the exact same thing- that’s how I saw they didn’t ship here
@Jendexter: wow you totally lucked out! Nice price! And I love Nordstrom Rack!
@hanmay: That’ so funny… I guess the grass is always greener on the other side because I love tons of stuff that’s only in the Uk. And if you would have set that up before I found the dress- I would have totally taken you up on that offer!
@toots: I LOVE Sparkle shoes!!!
[...] I wrote about in my flower girl dress post, we really wanted our flower girl to feel like she was playing dress up. I know weddings can get [...]
what is the name of this dress
its gorgeous!
Meg- I’m not sure of the name- but Monsoon now ships to the US (they didn’t when I wrote this) so definitely check out their “party girl” and “flowergirl” dress options- there are so many pretty dresses
Thank you so much! I just randomly searched weddingbee for flower girls because I’ve not been able to find anything I like and this post came up. I love this line its adorable and have now in like less than 5 minutes found my flower girl dress and I’ve been searching for weeks for something ‘untraditional’. I had my heart set on tu-tu dresses but my girls our a bit old and these are perfect!
I’m so glad! And they ship to the US now which is awesome! Happy your found your non traditional flower girl dress
looks like your flower girls will rock in the party, in your fabulous pick.
your pick is as nice as the ones we picked on my sisters wedding for her flower girls at http://www.affordableflowergirldresses.com/.
