Grown Up Flowergirls

I am having 2 flower girls who will be 7 and 8 at the time of the wedding. I have been looking and haven't had any success finding flowergirl dresses that look a little more "grown up". Everything I've come across is more age appropriate for a 3-5 year old. Also they are sisters so I would like to keep the price down as much as possible as their mom is buying 2!

  • smaller bridesmaid dresses are fine too (if the ones you're looking at come that small?)  i'd also suggest checking  department stores. nothing says it HAS to be a dress from a bridal shop!

    i have no idea what colors you have, but giving them a solid color dress with the 2nd colored sash (or black sash, or black dress with colored sash) would be a simple way to coordinate them with the wedding party.
  • Most bridal shops will have "junior bridesmaids" dresses that may fit them. Or you can try a holy communion dress.

    If you're wanting them to wear white dresses...age 7/8 is right about First Communion age...could you check out those dresses at department stores (or used on Ebay/Craigslist!) ??

    Otherwise, why not let them each pick any dress they like in a color (blue, pink, purple, whatever...)?
  • I'm planning on shopping the post Easter sales for white dresses for my FGs, sisters like yours.  Add a sash to coordinate with the rest of the WP and we're off!

  • My daughter (7) wore white and I found her dress at Macys. It was from the communion collection. Kohls' has one too and they sell adorable Bonnie Jean dresses.
  • Sears has Easter Dresses, and First Communion as well. We got our flower girls dress there after the season for $25.00
