We haven’t been super-picky when it comes to outfitting the wedding party, apart from finding matching ties for everyone. Since I only have a MOH, I didn’t have to worry about finding multiple matching dresses. The guys are all wearing black suits, but grey is OK if they don’t have black.
We have not given much thought to the ring bearer and the flower girl. When the flower girl’s mom asked about what kind of dress to be looking for, I told her to look for something appropriate for a summer wedding, in either cream or grey. It wasn’t much to work with, really.
A couple days later, I found the most adorable fabric. It’s perfect for a little kid, but I wasn’t sure why I would need it. Then I realized it would be perfect for a little boy’s tie. Perhaps a little boy in my wedding party? Making a tie seems easy enough. (I say that now.)
I was chatting with Meg, Celeste’s (the flower girl) mom, and I told her about the cute fabric and the tie. She thought it sounded perfect. Then she suggested we use the same animal print fabric for the trim and bow of Celeste’s dress. Brilliant! Meg’s got a friend who can make the dress easily and for free (yipee!). I bought the animal print fabric and this grey fabric that matches the invitations.
Aren’t they cute? I got them on Etsy from Fabric Supplies. They have a great selection and carry all the fabrics I got on eBay for our table runners.
Are you doing anything playful for your younger wedding party members?

Cute fabric! Making ties isn’t the most fun thing you’ll ever make, trust me. I just made some yesterday, and it sucked. I still have 7 more to go 
That’s too cute!! I’m going the boring route but now you’ve got me thinking about having a sash and tie made in something really cute!
Very cute!! Here’s a really simple tutorial for making a little boys tie! http://www.purlbee.com/little-boys-tie/
Yay! It is so much easier to visualize your wedding now that I’ve met you! Very cool…
that’s the most darling print! looking forward to your recaps 
The fabric print is adorable, and the tie is a fantastic idea.
VERY Cute fabric! And what a great idea to “tie” the two little people together that way - good find!
That is adorable. Hell, I’d rock a dress made out of that fabric. hehe.
Have you seen the Tansy tee from Anthropologie it is your wedding colors and so cute. Just thought I would share.
So cute, Miss Joey!! I love it 
Our little ones are definitely dressed more “fun” than the grown ups…lucky!!

About Me: I'm a Seattle girl through and through except for the fact that I don't drink coffee. I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!
