Most of my life has been heavily influenced by my love for children. I’ve been a babysitter as long as I can remember and a full time nanny for quite some time. Since this has been my life, I have “accumulated” quite a few little ones in my life. Five girls to be exact. I had to stop myself at 5-or I would have had more flower girls than our entire wedding party. We have my two nieces, a young cousin, and two other little ones that I’ve been taking care of for a long time.
For flower girl dresses, I had to fight the norm yet again. Flower girl dresses really creep me out. I don’t like the idea of little girls looking like brides. I mean, I really really really don’t like it. SO, I was on a hunt to find non-flower girl dresses. And I found them! Through Etsy, of course. I found Catherine of It’s a Party, Let’s Wear Hats. She created the cutest flower girl ballerina outfits!
Cute, huh? Then my mom and I made the pomander balls for them to carry. Here is the finished product:
We’re still tweaking the pomander balls a little. I want them to be fuller with a few more feathers! I’m really happy with how they turned out, and I think the girls are going to look so sweet on the farm looking like little fairies!
Are any of you ladies doing something unique/creative with your flower girl’s outfits? I have seen a wedding where a grown man was the “flower girl”. I thought that was absolutely hilarious!
