How to Choose the Right Flower Girl Dress Color

 

How to Choose the Right Flower Girl Dress ColorYoung flower girls love dresses in bold crayon colors. At their age, a bright loud fashion statement is viewed favorably by everyone. The vibrant color makes their beauty, charm, and magic even more noticeable to your wedding guests.

Yet the perfect flower girl dress color isn't limited to the eight basic colors of your childhood crayon package. Hundreds of shades and variations of colors have now been drawn into this fashion picture. Don't be afraid to think outside of that crayon box!

Try a sparkling "champagne" creation. "Wild berry" hues can dish out delicious color for you. Even a "denim" color can be a casual choice for the informal wedding.

Despite the countless available colors, white continues to be the most popular shade for flower girl dresses. Soft pink follows closely behind satiny white as a top choice. The flower girl dress often mirrors the bride's dress in traditional and formal weddings.

This practice accounts for the overwhelming popularity of white. In Hispanic wedding tradition, the flower girl is always dressed in mini-bride fashion. Yet even the bride's dress can have a touch of color in a non-traditional wedding.

Colored embroidery or ribbon can run through the threads of a bridal gown. The bride may wish the flower girl dress to reflect the extra color in her gown. If the wedding color scheme is using two primary colors, one of the shades often shows up in the flower girl dress.

The bride may choose the same colors for the bridesmaid and the flower girl dresses. Variations of the same color can also be used for both types of dresses. An almost endless variety of shades exist for each color.

The color purple can come in lilac, iris, or periwinkle. Orange looks refreshing in mango, tangerine, or coral. Beautiful blue can look cool in ocean blue or be more dramatic in indigo or navy. Green gowns look great in apple green, lime, or sage green.

Introduce a touch of blue for the traditional "something blue" in your wedding. For beach weddings, an adorable aqua fits the seaside atmosphere. This lovely blue-green can be used alone or as part of a floral pattern.

Floral patterns look great on flower girls. They play a part in formal and informal fashion. A flowing sun dress in a floral pattern is stylish for a beach wedding. A satin fitted bodice can meet a full flowery skirt for a more formal wedding.

Shades of green are perfect for garden weddings. Emerald green - as well as jewel red, shimmery silver, and spun gold - is popular for holiday weddings. Rich jewel tones ring in evening weddings with style. Popular pumpkin and deep burgundy can warm up autumn evenings.

Ball gown styles billow in pretty pastels. The light airiness of pastels and the flowing fabrics have that "princess" feel.  Beautiful gowns in pale pink or pretty peach add magic to any wedding party. Best of all, the flower girls will feel like little princesses.

Extra touches of fantasy are always found in the matching accessories. Satin glovestaffeta bolero jackets, and satin capes extend the magic. Flower girls are a vision from their hair wreaths right down to the tip of their formal shoes.
