My flower girls were 4 & 8 and they wore the same dress. My mother-in-law made them even that wasn't at all what I wanted. My husband and I paid for some of the material to make them but once she started making them she realized she read the instructions wrong and needed more material so she bought the rest. I would talk to the moms and figure out what works best for you.

I used to “bride and groom” to pay everything to anything wedding related, but traditions vary on every family and location. If you could pay for them, I am sure they would appreciate it during hard time. As for the dresses, what’s your budget? Nordstormrack? Tjmaxx? Marshall? Kingdom Boutique?

Daughter's FGs were 4 and 8 at the time of the wedding. They had matching dresses from David's -- I think they were about $45, so not horribly expensive. The dress had a simple bodice and a full, tulle, tea-length skirt and it looked great on both of them. The 8 yr old was actually much more excited about being a FG, and wanted a "princessy" dress and it fit her expectations completely. If you don't care about them matching, I agree that letting the moms each choose something appropriate might be a good idea and department store sales can be a great place to find a deal. Kids that age can have sudden growth spurts, so I'd suggest waiting until late summer to purchase anything, which might be too late for leftover Easter dresses, etc. And, if you can afford to pay for the dresses, I think that would probably be much appreciated by the parents!

FWIW this was the dress, and it's currently $39, so even cheaper than I remembered! https://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_flower-girl-dress-with-tulle-and-ribbon-waist-op218_flower-girl-dresses

Thanks! Given their ages, I'm a little concerned that if we buy the dress in the spring it might be too small for them in the fall. The older girl is already growing like a weed and the younger is fast leaving babyhood.

We just bought these for my august wedding for a 2, 7, and 8 yr old https://www.pippaandjulie.com/collections/big-girl/products/saraphine-ivory-shantung-dress-big-girl?variant=32142998110278
