Your wedding dress isn't the only outfit you'll need to select for your upcoming nuptials. In addition to picking out your dream gown (and reception ensemble, if you opt to make a change following your ceremony), you'll have to choose your bridesmaids' dresses, your mother's gown, and your flower girl's look. And while your flower girl's dress may be tinier in size, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be easier to find. Unlike the outfits for your bridesmaids or mother, which you may be able to discover at a store you frequently shop at—or even the boutique where you purchase your own gown, you'll likely need to peruse a children's clothing store to land on the perfect flower girl dress for the youngest member of your wedding party.
In addition to picking out her dress, you'll also want consider whether there are any accessories you'll want to add to her look—as well as your preferred hairstyle for her. Since she will be preoccupied with tossing petals down the aisle, she likely won't be able to carry any additional florals. However, that doesn't mean that you can't add additional blooms to her outfit. Many brides opt to have this young wedding-party member wear a flower crown that matches their own bouquet—or that of their bridesmaids. Depending on the location of your ceremony, you may have your flower girl walk barefoot down the aisle—or wear a pair of ballet slippers or Mary Janes. Regardless of the shoe option you pick, make sure to account for her growing feet, purchasing them as close to your big day as possible.
If you're searching for a place to start looking for flower girl dresses, we're got you covered. Here, we've rounded up 25 adorable looks from real weddings to give you some inspiration.

Adhering to the couple's yellow color palette at their Delaware nuptials, this tiny flower girl wore a pale yellow tulle dress from Maisonette with white Mary Janes.

Rather than opt for the traditional all-white look for their flower girls, this couple outfitted their eight-year-old daughter and their seven-year old niece in champagne chiffon dresses with a crisscross detailing on the back from Amazon.

For this couple's big day, which was inspired by Bridgerton and The Secret Garden, they dressed their flower girls in ethereal looks. Tiered tulle skirts, stenciled tops and crowns with just four flowers gave a fairy-like appearance to each of the children. We love how the girls also had matching pearl bracelets.

Even if you have more than one flower girl, you don't have to have them all wear the same dress. At their wedding in Rome, this couple dressed one girl in a tulle frock with spaghetti straps and a V-cut neckline and the other in a scoop-neck tulle ensemble with embroidery. However, the girls' matching pearl earrings, double-bun hairstyle, and white Mary Jane flats brought the coordinated look together.

Matching the looks of their flower girls to the aesthetic of their upstate New York wedding, this couple outfitted some of their nieces in loose eyelet dresses with ruffled trims—and the others in silk off-white ensembles. Yet all of them had flower crowns to finish off their rustic-inspired look. And when the girls all walked down the aisle, they were also assigned an important task: bringing the bride and groom's dog along with them.

In addition to selecting sleeveless white dresses for their flower girls, this couple added pale bows to the waists of the tiny gowns—and the tops of their heads. White-and-green flower crowns were also nestled in the ringlet curls of the youngest members of the wedding party. We love how they completed the look with frilly ankle socks and brown Mary Janes.

When it came to the flower girls at this couple's at-home wedding in Texas, the bride and groom leaned into tradition—both conceptually and aesthetically.

Wanting a look that would never go out of style, this bride turned to Feltman Brothers for her flower girls' dresses. The brand, which has been in existence for over 100 years and prioritizes hand-embroidered clothing, perfectly fit the aura of the couple's nuptials, which took inspiration from both Little Women and Legends of the Falls. We love how she added a pale pink bow and wicker baskets to complete the look.
Subtle Embroidery

Opt for a playful look for your flower girls' dresses. At this couple's beachside Mexico nuptials, they dressed these two tiny members of their wedding in tutu gowns with tulle straps and butterfly appliqués. And in a fitting nod to the location of their ceremony, the two girls went barefoot down the aisle.

While we love the sight of a bow around the hair or waist of a flower girl, it also looks adorable tucked on the shoulder of this wedding-party member. The textured design of the top of her dress was perfectly completed by her tiered tulle skirt, creating a playful and unique look.
