There’s magical allure attached to flower girl dresses. There is something of beauty about watching a flower girl walk down the aisle with her grand procession and donning an awe-inspiring gown. At Sara Dresses, our fabulous selection of flower girl dresses and skirts capture the timeless beauty of all kinds of weddings, whether traditional or contemporary. We get it: watching the littlest member of the bridal party gracefully walk down the aisle in her darling flower girl dress is one of the most crucial parts of the big day. However, there are a few important things to consider before you start shopping for little girl designer clothes.

1. What’s the role of the flower girl?
Flower girls are often young, typically between 3 and 8 years old. But, don’t take our word seriously; after all, there are no rules when it comes to flower girls -- it’s YOUR wedding! It’s no surprise these days that grandmas and bride’s moms are taking over the role.
Traditionally, the role of the flower girl is to usher in the bridal party, with the maid of honor right behind. She may proceed after or walk side by side with the ring bearer. She can throw flower petals, blow bubbles, or carry a pomander.

2. Who Should You Ask to be Your Flower Girl?
While a wedding can never have too many of them, flower girls should be someone you have a close relationship with. Perhaps your cousin, niece or close friend’s kid. It can also be your own kid.

3. Who Buys the Flower Girl Dresses?
Remember there are no stringent rules here. Nonetheless, it’s customary that the parents of the little girl should buy the dress for her. Of course, you’ll get the say in the choice of style, color, embellishment, and other vital aspects of the fantastic flower girl dresses.

Pro tip: it’s often a wise choice to buy cheap but cute girls clothing, in case of unexpected spills or last-minute wardrobe malfunctions.

4. What are the Best Flower Girl Dresses for your Wedding?
A flower girl usually wears a white frock with embroidery, ruffles, or sequins. In fact, it doesn’t have to be white; pink, lavender, blue, or ivory flower girl dresses can do the trick. The most crucial thing to remember is to match the dress with the wedding theme or bride’s gown.

5. What to Gift the Flower Girl?
You think the world of your little angel. That’s why it’s prudent to reward her for being part of the big day. It’ll make her feel special and excited about the day’s events. A delicate bracelet or necklace can the magic for the older girls. If she is younger than 5 years, a cute handkerchief can do the trick and pair well with the flower girl dress.
