Back in April, I paid a visit to sunny (but decidedly not hypoallergenic) Coppell, Texas. I was there paying a spur of the moment visit to my flower girl Z (and, okay, the rest of her family, too). Z was very anxious to talk to me about what her “little dress” would look like. She thought it should have butterflies on it.

I wasn’t quite sure of my ability to find a flower girl dress with butterflies on it, so I convinced her that petals were just as good. Luckily, this was not too difficult. I just had to show her the dress I was talking about.

Everything was going my way—cute dress, approval from almost four-year-old, etc., etc.—until I tried to buy the dress. The store didn’t carry it anymore!

And I couldn’t find a dress with turquoise petals anywhere.

Here’s where a less stubborn person would give up and get a different dress. As you may have already guessed, I am not that less stubborn person. I kept looking (and looking, and then of course, I looked some more) until I found a similar dress.

Here’s what it looks like in person:

I like it even more than the first one. I hope Z does too!

How did you decide what your flower girl was going to wear? Did she give you any pointers?
