How to Have the Picture Perfect Flower Girl and Ring Bearer

Our cutie pie customer, Kaymarie, looking adorable in her Joan Calabrese flower girl dress style 1163366.

Somewhere after the maid of honor and before the bride, the flower girl and ring bearer make their charming debut. We would like to take a moment to celebrate these adorable, pint-sized members of the bridal squad. Because we know that getting little ones down the aisle is not an easy task, here are some tips to help manage the most unpredictable, yet one of the most memorable members of your wedding party:


Participate in the Buddy System

Adding a buddy can be a huge confidence builder and there is nothing cuter than a flower girl/ring bearer combo or tandem flower girls! In our opinion, the more the merrier, and we're sure your photographer will agree. Get ready for some cuteness overload!

Practice Makes Perfect

Let's face it, walking down the aisle with every eye upon you is a little daunting, even for the bigger members of your party. Help your little ones feel comfortable by rehearsing the exact path he/she will take, as well as any duties they may perform. Duties could include dropping flower petals, confetti, or even small wrapped candies along the path that the bride will soon walk. Practicing in the venue several times can help keep those pesky nervous butterflies at bay.

Host a Meet and Greet

Include the smallest members of the bridal party in any pre wedding celebrations. Getting to meet their adult wing-men builds confidence and makes the big day so much more comfortable for them.

Have a Focal Point

Stack the odds in your favor by seating parents at the end of the aisle. Most kiddos will find a direct path down the aisle to Mom and Dad. Once there, smaller attendants can sit in their parents' laps and older children have the option of standing with their adult counterparts.

Here's the thing though...whether your mini attendants make it down the aisle dropping petals like a boss or whether there are tears and unplanned shenanigans, your guests will be all smiles.

Let our bridal team help dress your little cuties. Your flower girl dresses can mimic the bride or bridesmaid dresses. We carry the top designers in bridal fashion, and three of our manufacturers; Rose Bud, Tip Top, and Joan Calabrese, keep most styles in stock, which is great if you are short on time. If you've got enough time, some of our top bridesmaid designers such as Bill Levkoff, Dessy, and Bari Jay carry beautiful flower girl dresses that relate to most of their bridesmaid dresses. These dresses do, however, require about 12 weeks for production. From a casual soiree to the most formal weddings, these designers have created some of the most original and crowd pleasing styles we have ever seen and we know you will find the perfect fit for the smallest member of your bridal party.
