For a spring or summer wedding, lighter fabrics such as silk or cotton will keep the flower girl cool. If her dress is white, a colored sash may be used to tie it in with the bridesmaid dresses. Scratchy dresses and tight shoes may cause fidgeting. No flower girl can feel like a princess unless she feels good in her clothes. Child s Age.
Most flower girls are over three years of age.
If you are comfortable with the unpredictability of toddlers, a two year old may be used. Having two flower girls, rather than one, may help with the problem of stage fright, especially for younger flower girls. The age of your flower girl is a factor when choosing the length of her dress. A small child may wind up tripping over a long skirt, so it s best to choose a shorter style. For flower girls ages three to eight, styles may vary.
