Flower girls are one of the highlights in any wedding event, sprinkling flowers and sending off the beautiful bride. This wedding season, flower girl dresses are changing with new silhouettes, unique fabrics, and an exciting selection of colors. Here is what’s hot—or not—when it comes to dressing the little flower girls.
Popular Trends and Shapes
Statement details are front and center this year. Oversized bows are making a comeback, particularly fancy back bows, adding a playful appeal and theatricality to the latest styles. Ruffles are also making a comeback, typically on sleeves or cascading down skirts for a playful, romantic effect. Tulle skirts in a tiered style are still popular, adding volume and the fairy-tale effect that flower girls adore. This season, designers are also playing with versatile silhouettes, including traditional A-line styles, high-low hemlines and more.
Mix-and-match is another big trend. Instead of matching dresses, many brides now want complementary styles or coordinating colors for their flower girls, giving them a personalized look while ensuring they all fit into the cohesive wedding theme. This style embraces the little girls’ individuality while adding diversity to the bridal party.
Fabrics and Comfort
This year is all about comfort. The goal is for flower girls to be able to run and hop around all day in comfort, which is why cotton blends (like cotton and linen), chiffon, and soft tulle are the most popular fabric choices. Designers are also playing with textures — lace and tulle, or satin and organza — to create depth and dimension while keeping the dress comfortable. For weddings in the cooler months, you can style the velvet bodices with tulle skirts for warmth.
Popular Design Elements
- Statement bows: Large, eye-catching bows at the back or waist.
- Ruffles: On sleeves, skirts, or as layered accents.
- Tiered tulle skirts: For volume and a dreamy, princess-like effect.
- Floral appliqués and prints: Especially for summer weddings, adding a whimsical, seasonal touch.
- Personalized touches: monogramming or custom embroidery to make each dress unique.
Color Trends
Traditional shades of white and ivory will always be classic, but we’re also loving the fresh pop of non-traditional tones this year! You know soft pastels like blush, dusty blue, and champagne? They are so popular because they bring a soft pop of color that work with many wedding themes. Emerald and deep plum are jewel tones that are popular for fall and winter weddings, bringing depth and elegance. Others are going with eye-catching, creative colors for their flower girls, such as pinks, purples, or even a mixed palette.
What’s Out
There is a shift away from harsh fabrics that irritate Flower Girl or little girls’ skin or designs that restrict their movement. The uniformity of one-size-fits-all dresses is so yesterday because brides want looks that reflect the personalities of their little flower girls and the overall wedding vibe.
Conclusion
The trends for flower girl’s dresses this wedding season are all about comfort, personality, and sparkle (a dramatic eye-catching touch). From statement bows and tiered tulle skirts to soft pastels and bold jewel tones, the latest color trends and design elements offer plenty of options to suit any wedding style. There’s a perfect look for every flower girl, no matter the theme of wedding being planned.
