The flower girl plays a very important role during the wedding ceremony, and she's very
visible throughout the entire day. Since she walks down the aisle ahead of the bride, she
can set the tone for the entire ceremony. That's why choosing the right flower girl dress is
so important.
Regardless of the style, the right flower girl dress should be made of top quality fabrics
with meticulous attention to detail. While some brides may choose to bedeck their little
flower girls in an exact replica of the bridal gown, others prefer dresses that follow the
general style of the bridal gown, but have a distinctly youthful personality.
Flower girls are generally between three and eight years old, and can be somewhat tricky to
dress. On the big day, they'll need to stand for long periods of time and are expected to be
in their dresses for many hours. A flower girl will also be moving a lot and carrying a
basket. So it's important for flower girl dresses to be comfortable and durable while
staying within the guidelines and style of the bride's gown.
Age plays a part in the equation as well. It is not often practical for a flower girl to be
dressed in an exact replica of the bride's dress. It goes without saying that a little girl
wearing a slinky satin sheath cut down the back just would not do.
If you do choose a long flower girl dress, it is important that it be above floor level, or
she may trip or stumble down the aisle. The flower girl dress can be constructed out of the
same fabric as the bridal gown, or a combination of fabrics that emulate and complement the
bride. Again, comfort must be a prerequisite. 
While a bride may be able to endure some level
of discomfort on the big day, a little girl would be quite unhappy in a dress that itches or
scratches her. Therefore, lace or scratchy fabrics should be incorporated in her dress in
places where it won't interfere or irritate her.
If the bride is wearing a slinky fabric or see-through lace, it is possible to construct the
flower girl dress out of the same fabric. But her dress must be age appropriate. The most
popular, comfortable and age appropriate styles for a little girl are those that are not too
fitted, are fun and frilly and end at mid calf or at the knee.

They can contain exaggerated
features too, such as sashes or puffy sleeves as long as they are in line with the mini
bridal style.
Beading, embroidery or other richly decorated details on the bridal gown can also be
included on the flower girl dress. These elaborate embellishments can transform a simply
constructed, comfortable flower girl dress into a mini bridal gown instantly.
Flower girl dresses don't have to match bridal gowns precisely. If you want the dresses to
coordinate or play off of each other, a good way to do that is by using color. Necklines,
sleeves and styles can be altered, but choosing dresses in the exact same shade makes a high
impact statement.
A bride needs to consider the feelings of her flower girl too. If your flower girl isn't
happy and comfortable, it won't matter how her dress looks. Her role is to complement the
bride and her dress. A flower girl who is grumpy, uncomfortable or tearful will not make for
a happy occasion.
