Dressing The Junior Attendants In Your Bridal Party

Dressing the little ones in your wedding can be very fun. No one can resist the charm of the ring bearer and flower girl! The place you are having your wedding ceremony will help determine what kind of outfits will be most suitable. Learn how to match your ring bearer and flower girl outfits to your wedding.

For a very formal wedding, a satin flower girl dress is darling. Make sure the dress is off the floor so she does not trip over it. It can be white, ivory, or a color which complements your bridesmaid dresses. Many of the dresses have beautiful details like a jeweled pin at the waist. A petite pair of crystal heart earrings would be very sweet with a satin dress. Patent leather shoes will complete her outfit. Ring bearers frequently wear mini tuxes for elegant wedding ceremonies. If the groom is wearing a straight tie with his tuxedo, the ring bearer should too. Silk sailor suits like the ones they have at Pegeen are the baby boy’s equivalent to a tuxedo. A cream sailor outfit will go nicely with the little girl’s dress.

Consider yourself in luck if you are having a garden ceremony, because you will have tons of terrific dress options for your flower girl. Faille is a great seasonless fabric for dresses. Brides often select flower girl dresses that have a couple of colors in them. A fluffy bow on the back of the dress will make it even sweeter. If you are having a summer wedding, the flower girl’s dress can be made in a cotton voile. Pretty pink crystal heart earrings will be the perfect accessory, along with ballet slippers for her feet. The Eton suit (with knickers!) is a timeless formal ring bearer outfit. Some people just don’t like the traditional outfit and opt for a jacket and nice pants instead.

If you are having a beach wedding, look for outfits that are light and comfortable for the children in your bridal party. Nothing could be cuter than a seersucker shift dress on the little girl. Crisp blue or girly pink stripes are both equally nice choices. A pair of monogrammed Stephen Bonnano sandals will be the ideal matching shoes. Instead of a basket of flowers, give your little one a tin bucket of seashells and starfish to carry down the aisle (she does not need to toss them!). The ring bearer at a beach wedding can wear seersucker shorts with a white polo shirt. Classic boat shoes will complete his look. A ring pillow decorated with a starfish motif would be a great detail.

Many weddings are very casual. A cute and comfy sundress is a good option for your flower girl. Don’t concern yourself with finding a flower girl dress in the same shade as the bridesmaids’ outfits when your wedding is informal. The little girl can wear a bright pink sundress with cheerful orange embroidery on it. Put your ring bearer in a pair of chino shorts and a button down shirt in a color that complements the flower girl’s dress. Or the flower girl could wear a printed sundress from Lilly Pulitzer and the little boy a pair of shorts to match along with a solid colored shirt. When your ceremony is laid-back, it will be easy to find something for the children to wear.

Finally, if you are having a wedding at a special season like Christmas, dress your little ones accordingly. A Stewart tartan taffeta dress for the flower girl and a coordinating suit for your ring bearer will look very seasonal. Without a doubt, your flower girl and ring bearer will make a wonderful addition to your wedding day!
