Retro and Vintage Weddings

This is our daughter who will be our flower girl!

Recently we picked out the perfect dress for our daughter to wear on the day of our wedding. Originally we had planned on doing a white dress with black flower accents and a big black sash tied in a big bow in the back. I've just seen soooooo many flower girl dresses like that so I really don't want that anymore. I don't want people to think we are tacky but now we have chosen a black dress for her to wear. I love, love, LOVE this dress! My FH and my FMIL both love it also. I took Willow in to try on flower girl dresses just to get a feel for what different styles look like, and we had so much fun! My FMIL stood with her in front of the mirror while I took pictures. It was a very productive trip to the bridal shop. I made a $200 payment on my gown, picked out my bridesmaid dresses, and made the final decision on a flower girl dress!

The top three pictures are of the flower girl dress that we have chosen from the Eden Bridals website. The third one is the detail on the top of the dress. The detail isn't great or anything, but it's the look of the whole dress that got me. This dress just caught my eye! It's very basic, but very elegant, and the back of it is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!! The following three photos are of Willow's "photo shoot"! The red one was too red for my taste. The purple and white one would have been a BIG contender if we were having a purple and green wedding!!! It's so cute! The ivory colored gown was my favorite!!!!!! I got all teary eyed thinking that someday she would be standing on that pedestal trying on wedding gowns!!!! I had a mommy moment. :) Anyway, when I saw it on her I knew that the black gown would look amazing on her too. What do you think??? Is it tacky to put a black dress on her??? ....the last two photos I just threw in because of the proud Mama in me. :)

  • She is a gorgeous little girl, and there's nothing wrong with her wearing black. She'd look adorable in a paper bag. That's awesome that you got so much done!

  • She's adorable!

    I think the black dress could work depending on your color scheme.  Are the bridesmaids wearing black? what color is your dress?  I would say there's nothing wrong with the black dress as long as it matches with the rest of the wedding party.

    I love the purple & white dress, btw - I'm actually looking for something like that for my flowergirl (my cousin's daughter), becuase we are having a purple wedding.

  • Thanks for your opinions ladies. it actually really means a lot to me to get your opinions since I don't have my family here (Mom, sisters, nieces, etc) to help me plan the wedding because they live in Maine and I'm in Washington. I don't want people to be shocked, but now that I think of it, they all know that I love black. Plus, one of Willow's Christmas dresses was black and red, and our family here actually picked it out. Everyone at our huge Christmas party saw her in it and about died of a cuteness attack!

    Robot cake - Here's my gown, bridesmaids, favorite flower girl dress, and our wedding flower. This is pretty much our color scheme. A lot of the little details will be black and white or very natural, river stones, moss, etc.

  • I love your gown! and I think with the bridesmaids dresses and the dark roses, the black flower girl dress would work nicely.

  • Your daughter is SO CUTE. And I love the black dress. The back is my favorite part. It won't be expected and that is what makes it special!
  • I think she's so innocent and sweet, you can't possibly take any of that away from her with a black dress!  She's going to look adorable.  You worked really hard, congrats!!!
