Let Your Flower Girl Bloom with Colors


Babies are the most beautiful miracle of God. Wherever they go, their presence just naturally attract everyone's attention adding warmth and purity to the air. This innate gravitation makes them these angels loved by all. No wonder brides and grooms love to invite little girls to their weddings. Tradition has had it in American wedding culture for decades the standard flower girl dresses uniform. Usually this will be a satin, taffeta, or organza white dress with a fat oversized sash colored with the theme of the bridesmaids dresses.

However, recently, we have seen a new trend in fashion. Happy to say, the old plain white dress is out and sparkle sequin and bright colors are in. We are seeing these beautiful tropical calypso colors in carnival themed weddings. We are seeing rich silver and gold with a glamorous shimmer. Even styles a little more grown up and pageant like are making an appearance.



It is really a fascinating experience to get dolled up, which will refresh flower girls’ memory. Their walk down the aisle along with the brides creates a very moving scene for the guests. Definitely, you can have a variety of colors to dress your little angel up when it comes to the flower girls dresses. White and pink are all the time favorites.

No matter how traditional white is, it is never out dated and always classified as the most classic shades in the weddings. You can even go for the copy of bridal dresses making them mini brides. White color can be enhanced by accessorizing it with refreshing color combinations.

Pastel shades are an ideal choice to enhance the innocence of the babies. These adorable and lovely colors can affect the innocent and purity features of our little girls. You can choose any pretty pastel shade and make them look heavenly. Soft peach, champagne, ocean blue, cream, lavender and lime yellow can be brilliant choices for the dresses.

Opt for Vibrant Colors Flower Girl Dresses


Brides are expressing their sense of style and vision of their wedding with strong, vibrant colors like never before and this is directly reflected in their choices for the dresses they choose for their flower girls and junior brides maids.

What are we seeing? Bold - splashy - gorgeous - vibrant color!

Being the color of the year, oranges are becoming more and more popular. Mixed in correctly, this can really "pop" - especially when others in the wedding party are in colors like chocolate, cocoa, taupe or shades or green. Just be sure that a similar shade of orange is in the flowers - and voila - perfect coordination!

Reds are always popular and deep red such as claret is especially beautiful. This can accent so many beautiful wedding themes from black-and-white to pink or burgundy with the right shade.

Lavenders, pinks, blues and greens have always been favorites and continue. They can coordinate with purples and other shades of pink so beautifully!

Try to think "outside the box" when planning your wedding - a splash of complimentary color can be a GREAT accent and make it young and fresh. Consider lavender or purple for green themes, and yellow with lavender themes, or pink with deep red themes! Again - be sure that the accent color is reflected in your flowers.

We're seeing more and more black flower girl dresses, which really is a relief; black can totally over power a little one and many couples like to apply them to their flower girl dresses.

And for the final "wow factor" - have her shoes dyed to match the vibrant color you selected for her dress, sash or flowers! Dyed shoes for little girls aren't expensive at all. She'll feel like a princess with this perfect accessory!

Color for Mother of the Bride Dress


Your daughters spend a lot of time on choosing the wedding dress, it’s time for yourself to select the right color of mother of the bride dress for her big day. The goal is to select a color that is flattering for pictures and surely there are certain do’s and don’ts.



Don'ts
Before shopping, it is important to set a few rules for concerning the color of the outfit. First, under no circumstances should you wear a white dress. This is considered an etiquette faux pas, particularly for the mother of the bride, because the mother should not overshadow the bride, and the color white is strictly reserved for the bride on her wedding day.
Additionally, caution should be taken in purchasing a black ensemble. Some attendees may misconstrue this color choice as an indicator the mother is not happy about the marriage. However, for a night or very formal wedding, black can be an appropriate choice if the bride gives her consent.
Another color that tends to be controversial is red, which may add too much contrast against the bride wearing white. Again, keep in mind the wedding's level of formality and the bride's consent.

Do's
A mother of the bride looks best in a color that is complementary to the bride's dress. In doing this, she matches the overall theme and tenor of the wedding itself. A good rule of thumb is to select a color that may be similar to the color of the bridesmaids' dresses.
Another good rule of thumb is to select something in a neutral color, such as taupe, brown or navy.
