I was absolutely elated, thinking that it would be the most adorable thing in the world, so of course I said yes. My daughter would be just turning five and the perfect age for it. She's such a little girl and loves dressing up that I knew she would be thrilled.My friend had picked out a dress that was a miniature version of her wedding gown and told me where to go get my daughter fitted. I eagerly took her there and saw the dress. I have to admit that it was absolutely adorable and she looked like an angel. However, when the salesperson asked if I wanted to pay for it in full or payments, I found out the cost.

his perfect little dress was almost $230. My jaw dropped. I had not counted on such a high bill for just being a flower girl. I said that I would make payments and dashed out of the store. I never confronted my friend since it was her wedding and her choice, but I would have never agreed had I known what the costs were. Weddings can be incredibly beautiful without a flower girl. Traditionally, a flower girl is between the ages of 4-8 years old. If you don't have any family members or friends having children around those ages, opt for not having a flower girl. Don't ask some random child or family just for the sake of having one. Lots of problems could arise that just aren't worth the hassle. Also, if you're asking someone to allow their child to be in your wedding party, try to pick out a flower girl dress that is priced reasonably. If you know that the family is on a tight budget, offer to pay for half of the cost for the dress if you have your heart set on one that is pricey.

My daughter looked glamorous in her super expensive flower girl dress on my friend's wedding day. I was nervous that she'd start crying or refuse to walk down the aisle. But, she surprised me. She walked slowly down the aisle, but forgot to drop the rose petals. I kept trying to motion to her that she was forgetting, but she was too focused on walking slowly and being a princess for the moment. Finally, when she reached the end of the aisle, she stopped and dumped out her basket. All of the petals fell in one place. Spectators laughed adoringly and softly. She made a great flower girl. Pick your flower girl carefully. Having kids in your wedding can be fun and adorable, but a great deal of work as well. There could be more drama than you're hoping for. Choose your attendants wisely.

Article 2 - Affordable Flower Girl Dresses

When my girlfriend asked me to be her matron of honor at her wedding I was honored. When she asked my daughter to be the flower girl I was thrilled. When I considered that I had to buy two gowns for the occasion I was apprehensive. That was until I discovered that there are tons of affordable flower girl dresses available on the market today.

I secretly wanted the bride to reconsider her choice in flower girls not only because of the expense but because of the stress associated with having a toddler as the center of attention during the crucial moments before the wedding ceremony. We discussed some options starting with affordable flower girl dresses.

It was thrilling to discover that there are so many options when it comes to little girls’ formal attire at reasonable prices. I was also thrilled that the bride was going to let my daughter accompany me down the isle rather than letting her go it alone during the procession. This took a load off of my mind.

When the bride initially suggested that I shop online for affordable flower girl dresses I thought that she lost her mind. How was I going to sift through the thousands of options available on the Internet? I really thought that there was no way that I could narrow down the search but I was so wrong.

In no time at all I was looking at affordable flower girl dresses that were as low as $28.99 and that is brand spanking new! These outfits are really stunning and the only problem I had was narrowing down my choices to just a handful. Good thing that I have a lot of ink in my printer because I had many pictures to print for the bride to see.

Ironically, I found that one of the cheaper kids’ gowns was the one that I really liked the best. Of course, I had to consult the bride as to which of the affordable flower girl dresses she wanted me to get but I figured with prices as low as $28.99 online I really couldn’t go wrong.

She wasn’t too thrilled with my top choice but she loved my second pick. In fact, she didn’t really need to see any more affordable flower girl dresses after seeing that one. For only 35 bucks I had a great dress for my little girl and I even had some extra cash for accessories.
