The Prettiest Flower Girl Dresses for a Summer Wedding
The Prettiest Flower Girl Dresses for a Summer Wedding
If you're looking for a flower girl dress for a summer wedding, we encourage you to consider soft shades, breezy fabrics, and patterns, all of which will get your littlest attendant excited to step into her ensemble on the big day. And while you can't go wrong with a classic white frock, it is always fun to be more playful with this young one's attire. Dress your flower girl in pastels to match the wedding party (or a pattern to contrast their opaque gowns!), choose a seasonal fabric, or find a floral printed number that coordinates with your blooming décor. The options are endless.
To help you find the perfect dress for your flower girl, we pulled together a selection of our current favorites, all of which are available for purchase right now. For traditional ceremonies, consider options that are structural and subtle in shape, detailing, and fabrication; taffeta and satin are great options for more formal events. For a celebration that's a little more relaxed—perhaps an outdoor ceremony taking place in the early afternoon or on the beach—you can't go with a breezy ruffled number that will swish in the wind. Pair these types of ensembles with a flowing hairstyle and sweet sandals.
Smocking—especially with embroidered floral details—is always a winner in our book, too. We have several smocked iterations on our list, since stretchy, nonrestrictive styles tend to go over better with little ones, whatever the season. Looking for a little color? Blue florals, green embroidery, or rose gold frocks are lovely. And while we're all for a non-cream flower girl dress, white does not necessarily equal boring. We're always in favor of a classic white flower girl dress, especially if it's as adorable as the ones we included on this list. When it comes to this classic color, it's all about finding a dress with great details, like bows, sashes, and belts—the works.
