How to Select Flower Girl Dress Accessories

By Chloe Webar

In a wedding, a typical flower girl doesn't have to be anything else to attract the attention of guests, to elicit nostalgic sighs from onlookers, and force that proud grin from their fathers and that teary smile from their mothers. They only have to be their usual adorably innocent selves. The most fundamental thing they need is the perfect flower girl dress, which can be purchased with the greatest of ease from wedding sites on the internet. However, each flower girl's inherent beauty can also be enhanced with the right accessories. Here are a few tips on doing this.

1. Hair ornaments: Flower girls with bows or ribbons in their hair are always cute. It doesn't seem to matter if their hair is pulled up or let loose around their shoulders. Of course, it is a must for the hair ornament to match the dress in any or all essential aspects such as color, material, design, etc. Do keep in mind, though, that the hair ornaments should be light and comfortable. It might be wise to have the little girls wear a hair ornament that could be taken off at the reception. Or, if the ornaments have to be attached the whole time, make sure that they are securely but not painfully held in place.

2. Jewelry: Beautiful as it is jewelry should be an accessory that is used with great reserve. Flower girls are usually young and do not need much in the way of adornments to accent their flower girl dress. The chosen jewelry should compliment the flower girl, her flower girl dress and coordinate with the rest of the bridesmaids or the bride herself. Keep in mind that heirloom and expensive jewelry should not be worn as little girls tend to play with jewelry and it could get broken or lost. Jewelry should be comfortable to wear and accentuate the natural beauty of the flower girl.

3. Shoes: Every flower girl needs a pair of shoes to match her flower girl dress. Try to take the flower girl along when picking out a pair of shoes or if ordering online be very sure of the size the flower girl wears. The younger the flower girl the flatter the shoes should be in the heel. Shoes should be very comfortable to wear as they will be worn for an extended time. The type of shoe should match the type of flower girl dress. The more formal the dress the more formal the shoes should be. Most important to remember when choosing shoes is comfort above all else. A flower girl with feet that hurt is likely to fidget through the ceremony and not be very happy during the reception either.

4. Other accessories: There are many other types of accessories for flower girls; from gloves to baskets. When choosing any other accessories remember to coordinate with the flower girl dress and bridal party. Flowers should match those of the bride if possible; a basket could be lined with excess fabric from the bridal gown to make it a memorable keepsake, while gloves, jackets and handbags should be comfortable and coordinating.

Flower girls have many options when it comes to accessories. Most of these accessories like the flower girl's dress can be bought online. Usually accessories can be found at the same place as the flower girl dress. These items, including the flower girl dress, should be ordered early so they arrive about 4-6 weeks prior to the wedding ceremony to avoid any last minute catastrophes and allow time for any adjustments or exchanges. Carefully planning will help reduce stress and make the days leading up to the wedding easier. Now's the time to start your journey to finding the perfect flower girl accessories to go with that perfect flower girl dress; online retailers are always ready and open for you to go shopping at your leisure day or night.
