We’re having two flower girls and one ring bearer in our wedding, and I’ve come to realize that dressing children for a wedding is no small feat! To tackle the task, I decided to start with the flower girls.

I figured it would be easy to pick out a cute, “twirly” dress for both of our flower girls to wear for the wedding. I say “twirly,” because I know that when I was younger, I based the merits of a dress solely on how far it would poof out when I spun around in a circle. I wanted the girls to wear pink, not white, and I knew that I wanted something a bit different (there I go again, flaunting society’s conventions). I also wanted it to be reasonably priced. So, I had some parameters with which to start my search.

There were perfectly lovely non-white, twirly dresses out there, but nothing really struck a chord with me. I briefly considered these lovely dresses and liked them so much I bookmarked them. They’re available in pink, but they were a bit too traditional for my tastes. Still lovely, though, and someone should definitely snatch them up – they’re only $35!

I let the idea marinate for a few months and focused on other wedding planning activities. Then, one day, while perusing Etsy, it hit me. Tutus. Other bees have posed this idea before, and I completely love it! They’re adorable and the price is definitely right. Plus… how can you resist this?

You can’t. Resistance is futile.

What young girl wouldn’t want to don a tutu for a day and be a “princess?” They’re perfectly pink, and if you looked up “twirly” in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure there would be a picture of them next to it. Mr. French Fries’ niece is one of our flower girls and will be just shy of 4 years old by the time our wedding rolls around. She absolutely loves dressing up, so I know she’ll be so excited to wear her tutu. My niece will be our other flower girl, and she’ll be around a year old when we get hitched. While she might not appreciate the twirly-ness of a tutu, she’ll look absolutely adorable in it. To keep the little ladies comfortable (and my young niece happy) they’ll wear a light pink t-shirt / a pink onesie underneath their tutus. Tights and Mary Janes will round out the look.

Now, here’s where I need your help! I can’t decide between these two tutus. The first one is more of a gradient color look, and the second one is just a little pink explosion, and the third is a more subtle pink. I’ll sub the gerbera daisies and the roses out for pink peonies to match our wedding flowers no matter which one we decide on. I like all three, and so far have votes from people for each. I can’t decide!

Which do you prefer?

First Option: Color Gradient Tutu!

Second Option: Pink Explosion!

Third Option: Subtle Pink!
