When it comes to looking for the perfect flower girl dress, the idea of the bride’s dress comes to mind. In essence, the flower girl is a little bride. This little girl will most likely remember this moment forever as she will feel like a princess. A quality dress whether custom made or selected from a collection, will enhance the wedding’s overall appearance. This is, after all, the idea behind picking the bridal gown and the dresses for the bridal party. She may be small, but the flower girl still deserves the best! A happy flower girl makes for a problem free entrance and perfect pictures. After all, no one wants a tantrum down the aisle or photos of a sad little girl!
The fabulous thing about these flower girl gowns is that they can be utilized again in the future. Many of the dresses are, for the most part, a basic silhouette. With slight modifications, or even just as they are, they can dually serve the purpose as a first communion gown, a pageant gown or even a holiday dress. This is definitely worth taking into consideration if you are a bit skeptical on the price, although they are quite reasonable considering the craftsmanship and quality. If a traditional silhouette isn’t a good fit for the theme of the wedding, going the custom made route is always an option. What a way to really make her feel special!

REVIEW
It’s all about adding & accessorizing withoutbeing tacky.
Adding some color : A wedding dress does not have to be one plain color. Sometimes adding a splash of color can make your dress stand out of the crowd. By adding color to your wedding dress, you are making your dress unique and giving it your own style.
Adding a ribbon on the waist can show off your curves and your individuality. Use the colors of your bridesmaid’s dresses as a clue to the right color, and you will look wonderful together. Your train could also include a little bit of this color. Adding a color can be done anywhere including in your hair, with the bouquet, or many other options. This option is a very modern idea and can translate into some very beautiful pictures.
Accessories: A bride’s wedding look is not just about the dress. The dress is not complete without some accessories. These can include your hairpiece, bouquet and shoes. For your hair, you can choose to go with a simple veil, or try something like a crown. Your shoes complete your look. If your wedding is on the beach, do not be afraid to go barefoot or in sandals. The best way to keep your look unique is to have fun and remember that this is your day and you make the rules. If you want to add accessories to the dress itself, you can add bows, buttons, or other embellishments to the dress.
Unique add-ons to your dress will make the dress seem more like your own. Every bride should have a wedding dress that makes her feel beautiful, but also reflects her own style. Add or subtract sleeves, add color, and do not forget some accessories and you will have a wedding day look that everyone will remember.

It’s not about fancy designer labels and price tags. It’s about taste. If your dress matches your fashion personality, then it will be sure to speak unique.
Gown Guidance…And always let your CLOSET be your guide
First, you must build on your own everyday look. Whether you’re a trendsetter or the more laid-back type, go to your closet for some inspiration. The muse is your closet. It will help guide you towards a gown that showcases your fashion philosophy.
What’s your style sense?
Mod Girl : Less is always more for the cool, modern lady. Sleek lines, subtle shine, and graphic jewels max out your minimal approach.
Retro Romantic: You’re a 21st-century chick with a vintage vibe. Plush textures and antique-y accents merge the past with your present.
Screen Siren: Unleash your starlet power with glittering gems, killer heels, and one very red-carpet gown.
High Maintenance : For the more extreme types, sparkly baubles/trinkets, blatant bows, and a passion for pink are your fashion faves. You’re looking forward to the role you were born to play, princess.
Changeable Chameleon: Say you’re a little bit of each of the above “labels”…not a problemo. That just means you’re one edgy chick with too big a personality to settle for being categorized into fitting into just one type of style. If you embody many layers to your style personality, peel each & every one of them to reveal your whole self and incorporate a bit of everything to really let your colorful personality shine.
Creativity is the key to really making a unique statement. Here are some creative suggestions from gown tips, accessories, shoes, and hairstyles…all of which will contribute to the overall portrait of your style, and therefore, giving your gown the ultimate unique boost you dream of….

Color
If white isn’t your color, who says you have to wear a white bridal gown? Opt for a gown in your favorite color. Wedding gowns now come in all sorts of beautiful ones, from bold blues and hot pinks, to greens, golds, and even reds.
If you’re finding it hard to convince your loved ones (your groom or mom) that color is completely appropriate, you might want to consider donning a traditional white wedding gown for your ceremony, then slipping into something in a bold hue for the reception.
There are even several wedding gowns available today that boast two-in-one designs specifically designed for this purpose: short dresses with long, see-through layers on top; two-piece gowns with interchangeable skirt and pant options; and body-skimming sheaths with removable floor-length sheer jackets (the 2-in-1 dress). It may not be the super short and sexy shift you originally pictured yourself marrying in, but look at it this way: everyone will be happy, and you’ll get to wear two gowns, instead of just one!
WHITE GOWNS
If you like the idea of the traditional, plain white dress, you can always add in some color to the details. There is nothing wrong with replacing some of your dress’ accents with color.
