Dress for Flower Girl

LindyNBear · August 2012

Hi all!

I could use some advice on where to look for a Flower Girl dress...

Our flower girl will be 8 years old (on the older end of the range, we know) and is VERY tall for her age (not a big deal, I'm very tall for my age too

). The problem is that a lot of these super-cutesy dresses look silly on her. I'd love to find something that's appropriate, but also suits her age and height. I've looked at a few junior bridemaid dresses, but none of them quite seem to work either.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

If she's growing like a weed, you're going to want to wait until as close to the wedding as possible. Then just buy her a formal dress, rather than limiting yourself to the bridal lines. Since your wedding is in the spring, there should be a lot of Easter dresses and other spring party dresses in stores in the weeks leading up to it.
