In many weddings, flower girls walk down the aisle scattering rose petals, but mostly their role is to simply be adorable. Flower girls are fabulous, period. Weddings just do not seem complete without them. When it comes to wedding style, flower girl chic is all the rage. The tacky mini-bride dresses of days gone by have been replaced with beautiful designer flower girl dresses.

Accept nothing less than a designer dress for your little opening act. If you cannot decide what to choose, take a look at the selections and categories below, and you are on your way to finding that perfect look.

Formal Frocks

These are the timeless flower girl dresses we know and love. Often made from satin, organza, chiffon and tulle, these dresses are the standard for very formal and/or traditional weddings. Great for evening weddings, as well. These flower girl dresses frequently feature embellishments such as beads or shirred highlights. Keep an eye out for these styles:

• An absolutely precious sleeveless satin and organza dress with graceful, hand-beaded cummerbund.

• A twist on a classic – the spaghetti strap empire bubble dress with rosette bodice dress. Bubble dresses are all the rage right now.

• Girl heaven! The quintessential flower girl gown. You can’t go wrong with the spaghetti strap ballerina dress with double layer tulle skirt. She’ll want to wear it every day until she outgrows it.

• The silk crinkle chiffon sleeveless dress with shirred bodice and waist is an elegant choice for the flower girl sophisticate.

Cotton Cuties

Whether due to season or just faulty air conditioning, if it is warm in your wedding location, do yourself a favor and find a cotton dress for your flower girl. Otherwise, you risk a bout of crankiness. And, as any bridal expert will tell you, you absolutely do not want a cranky flower girl. These little divas can be extremely temperamental. One false move and those petals are not going anywhere but where they should not be. Convinced? Good. Try these comfortable, breathable cotton flower girl dresses.

• A cotton tricotine sleeveless bateau dress with dropped waist, fabric belt, bow at hipline and full pleated skirt will keep her feeling fresh and flower girl fabulous all day.

• An absolutely charming, sleeveless cotton tricotene with an adorable ruffle trim at the hem. When it comes to flower girls, can you ever have enough ruffles?

These cotton dresses are great for casual weddings, outdoor ceremonies or secular spots such as home or hotel weddings.

Beach Babies

Few things are precious than a little girl in a sundress. Outdoor weddings, especially seaside, require the perfect dress for your flower girl. Keep an eye out for light, fun sundresses in all kinds of shades. These dresses are great fun to coordinate with your bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids. For a touch of whimsy, add coordinating accessories such as a necklace, sash or hair bow. Some great options:

• A sweet and unique net sleeveless dress with swirls of net stitched on the empire bodice and full pleated skirt is great for a seaside wedding.

• A cute and simple little satin tank dress with crumbcatcher bodice. No fuss.

• If it’s breezy on the beach, look for a warm-weather dress that features a sleeveless illusion neckline with adorable rosette bodice. Sassy!

• A beach bride favorite. A precious orchid appliqué adorns this sleeveless flower girl frock with illusion neckline.

Holiday Honeys

Holiday weddings are growing more and more popular. This is already an exciting time for children, so make sure and be patient with them. Sometimes, the thought of scattering petals one day and a visit from Santa the next morning is too much to bear, and can cause these sugarplums to get a little moody.

Get away from all the holiday hustle and bustle and make some time to do something special with the flower girl that is exclusive to the wedding. Perhaps shop for accessories or get manicures. When it comes to flower girl dresses for holiday weddings, these are typically more formal and are often selected in jewel tones. Try these:

• A lovely sleeveless satin dress with charming bateau neckline, wide fabric band with knot detail and full skirt. Make sure and purchase a cute, coordinating cardigan for sleeveless holiday dresses for flower girls.

• This fancy, satin flower girl favorite features a festive sash at the waist, and satin appliquéd flowers. A perfect choice for holiday nuptials.

Selecting the perfect flower girl dress is fun and heartwarming. Make sure you do not skimp on the accessories. Precious pearls and lockets are great choices. Don’t forget the ballet slippers or mary-janes. She will feel like such a princess, and you will have to call it her special day rather than yours!
