I think every little girlโs dream is being a flower girl and wearing the dress of her dreams, perhaps a custom flower girl dress Surrey. I made this dress for Eleanorโs wedding, along with four bespoke dresses for the adult bridesmaids as well. The wedding colour theme was a spring palette or pinks, ivory and pale gold. I made the flower girl dress is a rose pink silk dupion with an ivory organza sash.
Planning a custom flower girl dress Surrey
Making a custom dress for growing children can be a tricky business with timing. We all want everything ready in good time before the wedding, but children grow in unpredictable spurts. And families can be difficult to pin-down for fittings around busy activity schedules. As an experienced bespoke dressmaker and a mum of three myself I am good at working out at ideal fitting timetable to take all these things into account.
The custom flower girl dress was fully lined. With a layer of stiff netting to create fullness under the full length skirt. I designed her dress with a square neckline to echo the necklineโs of the older bridesmaids while being age appropriate. The pretty puffed capped sleeves were feminine and sweet.
I embellished the neckline of the custom flower girl dress with tiny appliquรฉ flowers in ivory and pale gold. Then I added sparkle with real Swarovski crystals, every little girlsโ dream.
The sash was made of ivory organza, embroidered with delicate gold sprigs of flowers. At the back the sash tied in a statement bow with long sash ends.
I also made a sweet little waistcoat for the page boy, and a silk bow-tie in fabrics to match the older groomsmen.
I also made the brideโs wedding dress which was in a Victorian inspired historical style, all in pale blue silk. You can see more about Eleanorโs bespoke wedding dress for her Surrey wedding here.
Dream Dresses
Having a custom flower girl dress surrey made for your wedding is the perfect way to make sure your flower girl feels special. Many people choose an off the peg dress for their younger attendants but its very difficult to find any dresses in a colour other than ivory, or a style thatโs not run of the mill. So if you are looking for something unique having a dress made to order is a great idea.
