Perfect hair for the youngest member of your wedding party! This flower braid is tricky to accomplish unless you've been practicing for awhile. But the flower girl/junior bridesmaid will feel so grown up with this gorgeous braid that shows off her sense of style.

Fun Flowergirl Photos

Cute flower girls in a candid shot expressing their joy of the day! Be sure to include some time for your photographer (or even your guests) to shoot some candid shots. Sometimes they really show the joy of your wedding day best!

Be sure to frame your photos like this photographer did in this unique doorway. It gives the photos a real flavor of your wedding. If your church or reception hall doesn't have unique architectural detail... find a place that does that will let you take photos, it's well worth the pre-wedding effort. Often your photographer will have some great local ideas about locations. (In real estate they say it's 'location, location, location.. the same thing with wedding photos!)

The Flower Girl Wore J. Crew...

J.Crew flower girl dress, the puppy has to be your own! What a cute look for an outdoor wedding. Love J.Crew's choices. Also love the pup with his pretty lavender leash!

J. Crew can make your wedding stylish but comfortable. Not too frou frou.

If you're going to let a flower girl (or ring bearer for that matter) walk the dog down the aisle be sure she can control him! I can just picture the possible outcomes if not!

'I Don't Want A Baby's Dress!'

Often the hardest person to dress for your wedding isn't the youngest of flower girls it's the older flower girl. She's not quite old enough for a junior bridesmaid dress but doesn't want to wear a 'baby's dress' as I overheard one girl shopping say. This dress from Dessy.com is appropriate for the younger bridesmaid and older as well. Any flower girl, no matter what her age will love wearing this dress.

Do you have a favorite 'tween dress? Perfect for an older flower girl? Post the link and tell us all where you found it. And make some flower girl happy not to be dressed 'like a baby.'

Oh Mom! They Must Be Kidding! Do I HAVE TO DO THIS?

This poor flower girl is looking adorable but like she needs to pop a couple of Excedrin! This complicated walking and dropping flowers at the same time she's looking cute is overwhelming this cute little girl. But she is adorable. Love her garland and simple dress.

Ah Mom, My Feet Hurt!

Love this color on this adorable flower girl whose taking some time out on the window seat. Such a normal kid shot! It's been a long day and she's taking time away from the wedding craziness.

Lights and Shadows and Flower Girl

I fell in love with this photo of this flower girl. The combination of a cute flower girl surrounded by light and shadow made me fall for this photo. Be sure your photographer has the skill to make use of light and shadow in your wedding shots, it can make all the difference between a picture and an artistic professional photograph that you will treasure.

Lucky the UK bride who has the opportunity to hire Clare-Louise Photography.

Winged Flower Girl

Jerry Yoon Photography has multiple photos of 'angel' flower girls on their site. Visit the site to see the glorious photos of children in weddings. Angelic looking little girls, mischievous little boys, and giggling babies. Jerry Yoon Photography catches them all. The photo above is one of my favorites. If you have a chance, contact them to photograph your wedding, the results are stunning.

Here we see our 'angel' walking down the aisle with all the confidence of Tyra Banks on the runway of a high fashion show. She has the walk down to a science and Jerry Yoon Photography captures the strut and the attitude.

Here's a whimsical look of our 'angel' looking down from above. This young lady has being a flower girl down to an exact science. The walk, the photos, the posture... she just makes you fall in love with her. Can't you hear everyone at the wedding going 'ah, isn't she cute' as she walks down the aisle?

To contact Jerry Yoon Photography go to this link and fill out our info. I can't guarantee they can provide you with the angelic flower girl above, but you will get great photos if what's on the web site is a sample of their work.

Gifts for The Children In Your Wedding

2011-11-26T19:08:00.003-05:00

Finding a gift for a flower girl isn't too hard. But most brides rack their brain for what to get for your ring bearer for a gift? Why not get him tickets to a NBA game? Ticketamerica.com has NBA event tickets for some great teams like the Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings and the Houston Rockets teams. Purchasing a great gift for your ring bearer (or flower girl for that matter) is as easy as clicking these links: phoenix suns tickets, sacramento kings tickets, or houston rockets tickets .

Your ring bearer and flower girl will be talking about your wedding and the excitement of attending their first NBA game for years to come!

2011-11-18T18:10:00.000-05:00

This photo of the birde and her flower girl from Keith Ferris Photo shows just why we love having little girls in our weddings! So cute... a memory of playing dressup as a little girl while we move into our new life as a married woman. Keith Ferris' photo captures the flower girl's expression perfectly!

Glittering Flower Wands

2011-11-10T08:31:00.000-05:00

A wand for the flower girl, complete with flowers and glitter made this flower girl very happy! Creative wands are a great way to go for flower girls of any age. Make your own or have your florist make one. Either way they make for great photo ops!

Peonies, Parasols and Flower Girls

2011-11-05T09:48:00.001-04:00

You can purchase the silk peony hair clip with topped off with a Swarovski crystal in the center from Pink Peppermint on Etsy.com. Alligator clips (even though they are hidden by the flower) are covered in a coordinating ribbon for a truly finished and professional look.

But it's the photo by Tammy Mitchell Photography that really sets off this hair accessory! How cute for a flower a girl to walk down the aisle with her own hair clip and parasol!

What A Pair!

2011-11-01T08:23:00.000-04:00

Martha Stewart Weddings posted this cute photo of a flower girl and her cohort in crime who looks like he's a flower boy, not a ring bearer. Cute, laid back but so happy to be part of the wedding! How long he'll wear that jacket and tie is debatable, but so far, so good! Wedding Photography: Ingalls Photography

Flower Girls Frolicking Down The Aisle

2011-11-01T08:10:00.000-04:00

Martha Stewart Weddings posted this cute pic of this pair of twins gleefully tripping down the aisle, spreading flower petals as they go. This just goes to show you don't need a classic 'baby bride' look for your flower girls. Let them enjoy the day and feel special in these cute outfits, pure lime green froth and perfect for their age. The flower circlets make them feel like a pair of little fairies spreading flower petals wherever they go.

2011-07-30T04:15:00.001-04:00
