Fun Accessories for a Flower Girl Dress
The flower girl will play one of the most important roles in your wedding and will undoubtedly draw special attention from guests in attendance. There is a wide variety of adorable accessories to dress your flower girl in that will have her feeling and looking great.
For the most part, the flower girl does not need much in the way of jewelry. Jewelry is not usually considered appropriate for a very young flower girl. Even if you have a slightly older flower girl, between the ages of eight and ten, it is seldom appropriate for them to showcase a great deal of jewelry. For most flower girls, the best accessories are understated.
Flowers and Petals
If your flower girl is planning on carrying a bouquet of flowers, it is a charming addition to have her carry a smaller version of the brides’ bouquet. If you have decided that your flower girl is going to carry a basket of flowers instead, then it is important to decide on the color and style of the basket you want her to use. Generally a white or wicker basket is the best choice for the flower girl to carry. For this part of the wedding procession, note that the flower girl herself is the star of the show, so opt for choosing a basket that is not too eye-catching or over-the-top.
It is also important to strategically choose the flowers that she will be gently scattering on the isle toward the alter. There is an abundance of flowers to choose from, from rose petals to lilies.
Gloves and Shoes
When it comes to shoes for your flower girl, the most important aspect is comfort. While the shoes should be appropriate for the dress, it is crucial for the flower girl to be comfortable so that she will not be unhappy or fussy during the ceremony. Simple ballerina slippers are perfect for a flower girl of any age, and your flower girl will not have to worry about uncomfortable straps or laces.
If your flower girl will be comfortable and happy using gloves, they are also an adorable additive that can complete your flower girl look. Many brides dress their flower girls in gloves if they are wearing gloves as well, in attempts to tie the bridal theme together. Gloves are not usually suitable for very young children.
Younger children might be inclined to tear them off and throw them on the floor halfway through the ceremony if they are bothered by them. However, if your flower girl is old enough to wear gloves, and is enthusiastic about the idea, they make a great accessory and will make her feel more like part of the bridal party. Wrist-length gloves are most appropriate for young girls, and should be chosen in the same color as the dress.
Bows, Ribbons, and Sashes
If you like to use accessories to emphasize a theme or color scheme, then using bows, ribbons, and sashes is a great way to do this for your flower girl. These accessories can look beautiful on most flower girls. A bow or sash accented in the same color as your bridal party is an excellent way to pull together your flower girl’s look to complement the entire bridal party.
Headpieces
Headpieces can be a fun accessory to use for your flower girl. You have an endless array of options when choosing a flower girl’s hair style, and adding a headpiece such as a mini-veil or tiara can only add to the endearing final look. However, many of the accessories that you can use for your flower girl will not be appropriate for your bridesmaids.
A cute tiara or a garland of flowers can look enchanting on a flower girl while making her feel like a very special part of your big day. Try to remember to keep the hairstyle and accessories relatively simple and to not over-do the look. An overly elaborate hairstyle may even make her feel a bit uncomfortable.
Out of the Ordinary
Accessories such as bolero jackets or wraps can look gorgeous on a flower girl, and are ideal for fall and winter weddings where the weather is a little cooler. A knit, satin, lace, or brocade bolero jacket is a great way to accessorize a white or plain-color dress. Make sure to choose a fabric that will not irritate your flower girl’s skin.
There is an abundance of accessories to choose from that will enable your flower girl to appear as the princess that she really is. The right combination of accessories can complete the perfect look of your flower girl and have her feeling and looking great.

Other indluencing factors include the wedding dress, the bride’s hairstyle, and her own tastes and personality. One thing to keep in mind when thinking about adding bridal accesories is to make sure what your adding will show up in all the wedding photographs.
A more formal, elegant wedding calls for more formal, elegant wedding jewelry or bridal jewelry. The wedding jewelry that would be most appropriate would be a Swarovski crystal set including a necklace, a bracelet, and a matching pair of earrings. The bridal jewelry should be in pearls and could even be a double or triple strand of pearls.
If you find a bridal accessory that really stands out and draw your attention, then make sure you purchase wedding jewelry or bridal jewelry that will compliment that one fabulous bridal accessory.

Planning the Accessories for Your Wedding
1. Don’t go crazy on over the top hair and makeup.
This picture will be with you forever. Go with timeless not trendy styles. Look to the red carpet hairstyles to give you ideas if you are wondering about a particular style. You don’t have to wear your hair up.
2. Do test out your makeup and hair style in advance.
Take a picture and look at it. You want to look timeless. Think of the legendary beauties – sleek, simple and still looks good 30 years from now.
3. The cost of table centres can add up, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth.
Pick something striking but inexpensive for the centre of your tables, such as a tall elegant vase with a couple of tall stems of lily flowers.
4. If you have a large room to decorate, think big.
Use big pieces that will really stand out such as a large urn or candelabra. Use organza to add some colour- this can be draped into garlands or tied in large bows.
5. No more matching bridesmaid’s dresses.
That day is long gone. Let your bridesmaids wear different styles. They don’t have to have to have identical shoes either. No more clones! Think of everyone’s walk down the aisle, like a fashion show. Everyone looks good and stylish but don’t look all the same.
6. Do not get a facial the day before the wedding.
Just in case your skin does not react well to it, give it a few days to calm down.
7. Don’t make a mistake of getting a veil that looks like a mosquito net.
Your veil should compliment the gown not overshadow the wedding gown.
8. Take a risk with your wedding gown.
Wear what suits you and be true to yourself. Just focus on looking your best and not like other brides. This is your Oscar night.
9. Don’t forget about comfort on your wedding day as well when deciding on your wedding attire.
You don’t want your feet to kill you but trainers are definitely a no-no with your wedding gown.
10. Don’t drink too much on your wedding day.
Nothing is attractive about a bride who has drunk too much. You want it to be a joy not a joke!

Help! Which one?
Bonjour! I desperately need a new wallet, and I’ve been shopping for months. Help me decide between the two!
1) Cole Haan Felicity Slim Zip Wallet
2) MICHAEL Michael Kors Continental Wallet
Right now, I’m leaning towards the Cole Haan.
Am I the only one who agonizes over a wallet purchase?
