Kids Formal Wear Since 1985

Your pride and joy has been chosen to serve as flower girl in a wedding — and this honour is sure to be one of the highlights of her entire year! An important key to making your girl confident enough to walk down that aisle and enjoy her time in the spotlight is ensuring her outfit is perfect. At Grandma's Little Darlings, we've been helping Canadian families find the perfect flower girl dress since 1985. Here's how to do it.

Consider the Flower Girl's Age

Very young flower girls often do better in a shorter dress. If the dress is even a little too long, it doesn't take much to cause them to trip and fall — the last thing you want is to see your little one embarrassed or in tears during her big moment.

If you or the bride really want a floor-length gown for a very young child, purchase it well in advance so she can practice walking in it. For shorter lengths, you'll find many beautiful options including tea length, mid-calf, and knee-length styles. Browse our Girls Tea Length Formal Dresses collection.

Take the Wedding Theme into Account

A classic wedding with a princess feel calls for a flower girl dress with a full, puffy skirt and crinoline beneath it. If the wedding is more formal, a sleeker look does the trick. For a fun-loving, whimsical wedding, a dress with a gorgeous ruffled skirt is a beautiful choice.

Consider a Dress with a Splash of Colour

Gone are the days when the only choice for a flower girl's dress was white, cream, or pastel. While these are all perfectly lovely choices, flower girl attire now comes in a rainbow of colours — from flamingo pink to roaring reds to bold blues! Browse by colour:

Accessorize Her Outfit

No outfit is complete without the right accessories! Here's what to consider:

  • Shoes & socks or tights — A classy pair of dressy shoes, with socks or tights to protect her feet from blisters. Available in a range of colours and styles
  • Hair accessories — A ribbon, bow, or pretty hairpiece to complete her look
  • Purse — Help her feel all grown up with a small purse to carry
  • Flower petal basket — If she'll be sprinkling petals down the aisle, a cute basket is both practical and adorable in photos
  • Bolero or cardigan — Depending on the weather, a bolero or white cardigan keeps her warm without ruining the look

Making Your Final Selection

Whatever you do, don't let yourself get stressed over choosing a flower girl dress. There is such a wide range of fashionable options that it's hard to make a mistake if you keep the above tips in mind. Give yourself plenty of time, enjoy the process, and have fun making your little girl feel extra special in her role. It's sure to be a memory she'll cherish forever!
