One of the most adorable parts of any wedding is when the flower girl walks down the aisle. And, if you are tying the knot and you have kids, it is even more touching to see your little girl in the wedding processional. However, when having a beach, outdoor, or destination wedding, it’s important to make the whole event as stress-free as possible.
Flower girl dresses for toddlers and girls should be easy-to-fit and/or stretchy. That’s important because you never know when your little chickadee will have a growth spurt. It’s much better for your kid to have a dress that's a little too big rather than a little too tight. Nothing is more fun than a whining child.
Hippie Bohemian Wedding on the Beach
The whole point of having a casual wedding is that everyone will be able to have a good time, including you. While some women will want to go the conventional route and have their children wear traditional wedding clothing, modern indie brides may be happier with:
- Tutu Flower Girl Dresses (Fairy Finery)
- Casual Sundresses
- Fairy Flower Girl Dresses: (Fairy Finery)
- Hippie Dresses for Little Girls
- Pillow Case Dresses
- Pageant Dresses
Tutu Dresses for Girls and Toddlers
If the flower girl is your soon-to-be stepdaughter, it's very important to find a dress that she can get excited about. Most little girls love tutus and fairy dresses (a tutu with wings), however, older chicks, such as 7-or-8-year-old girls, should be consulted because they may prefer traditional flower girl dresses or junior-bridesmaid dresses. Some girls think tutus are for babies. See the following websites for ideas; some stores go up to adult sizes:
- PoshLittleTutus.com
- LilyAnnaForGirls.com: Garden or princess tutus.
- JuJusTutus.com
- CostumesFairy.com
- Fabowlous.com: This shop has cute bows.
Tutus for kids are all over the internet, especially on Etsy. And, most tutus don't reach the ground (or the sand), which is helpful. Look around for the right outfit at the right price. Some tutus are part of a tutu dress and some are sold separately as a skirt.
Hippie Clothes for Kids
Another way to go is to make your wedding a casual and fun 60s-style event. If you have more than one flower girl or little bridesmaid, their clothes don't have to match, so let each girl decide what type of dress she likes. Here are websites that have hip hippie dresses and baby boho frocks for little girls.
- TylerAndTallulah.com
- LittleFashionsBoutique.com: See Cakewalk attire.
- DaisyShoppe.com
- AChildsCloset.com
Any kind of colorful sundress would be gorgeous for a casual beach wedding. Just look around online. Towards the end of summer, there are many dresses on sale. If it's winter and everyone is going to a destination beach wedding, look for Australian or Hawaiian stores.
Girls Pageant Dresses
Pageant dresses for little girls can be a bit quirky, but they have more variety than some wedding stores. Okay, some of the dresses look like they are meant to be worn for ice-skating or square dancing, but maybe that's what your little girl wants. Look for sales.
Keep these indie wedding ideas in mind. After a while, your eyes will start to glaze over, as all of those flower girl dresses start to look the same. Tip: Remember that if this child is yours (or your fiance's), and the child doesn't like the dress, it's just one more problem that can be avoided.
