Flower Girl Fashion Fiasco

People always talk about how stressful planning a wedding is, but I happen to enjoy "planning" so I haven't found it to be the burden everyone talks about. That is, until I started researching Flower Girl dresses. Who knew there would be such a shortage of adorable, stylish, fairly priced, NOT cheesy Flower Girl dresses out there!? I will gladly design some if someone wanted to provide funding! Sheesh, what a head ache though. 


Our wedding colors are yellow and grey, and since our bridal party will be in grey, I thought my niece would look super cute in a sweet pale yellow, ruffly number. I assumed there would be tons to choose from, especially when Spring time rolled around... Yeah, well, no such luck. Finally, after WEEKS of searching EVERYWHERE, I moved onto whites and creams and came up with a handful of faves that I wanted to share, in hopes of saving you (or someone you know) all the time and effort I put into my search. Even if I end up helping just one person, it will all be worth it!


To start, I want to give Chasing Fireflies a shout out because they have the best selection BY FAR.
GOLD DUST SPAGHETTI STRAP DRESS
FLORAL LACE DRESS
CREAMY CROCHET DRESS
WHITE FESTOO TWIRL DRESS
(what little girl doesn't LOVE a twirl dress?!?)
FLORAL PIDGE PINK SUGAR DRESS

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.... Here is the dress we ended up going with.... LOVE!
FAIRY-TALE CHIFFON DRESS

It was a bit of a splurge but that clearly hasn't stopped me before. My sister-in-law and I wish they had it in our size too!

  1. Just curious, where did you get the final dress from and WHERE did you find that crochet dress? I would love to get the pattern, thanks!

  2. Hi L88DYBUGS - I believe both dresses are from Chasing Fireflies dot come. If you click on the name of the dress, it links you the place I found each dress. Good luck! :)

  3. Hello L88dybugs, I click on the creamy crochet dress but it doesnt take me to the pattern or the source, just to the next dress. Can you help me locate the pattern? I cannot find it on Chasing Fireflies either>
