Selecting the perfect dress for the flower girls can be quite a hassle during a conventional wedding. However, a beach wedding is a completely different ball game. You can afford to experiment with some seriously casual clothing and still retain the conventional style for your flower girl’s dress.

The children’s clothing, like the bridesmaid’s dresses, should be a reflection of the bride and the style and mood that she wants to convey on her special day.  Remember, the first ones down the aisle are the flower girl and ring bearer! In order for the clothing of the junior members of the wedding party to be consistent with that of the bride, groom, bridesmaids, and ushers, it should be similar in style, color, and possibly fabric, but may be a bit more unconventional.

Because children’s clothing can play such an important role, regardless of whether you are having a formal beach wedding or a casual one, the clothing should be elegant, yet suitable to the setting of the occasion.  The flower girl’s dress may be different in color than the bridesmaid’s dresses, picking up a coordinating color from the flowers in the bridal bouquets. This flower girl would stand out without drawing away attention from the rest of the party.

Another important consideration is that the clothing should have special touches such as beautiful detailing at the neckline, trim and waist. It should be as unique as possible and made of high quality fabric.  The fabric should have body and a nice lining.  The clothing needs to hold up, especially since the weather would tend to be on the warmer and humid side.

A bride can have more flexibility and fun with the children’s apparel. Their clothes can make a special comment about the bride’s unique style that may not be completely conveyed through the elegant bridal clothing, flowers and setting.
