Flower girl not matching bride

I have never been to a wedding where the flower girl matched the bride! But that is just my experience.

View Quoted Comment Omgoodness really!! Every wedding I’ve gone to they have matched the bride!

View Quoted Comment Yup! I think whatever you decide, the flower girl will look adorable! Especially if she matches the wedding colors.

View Quoted Comment Thanks girl!! I think she will too!!

I don’t think they need to match

While all of the weddings I've attended have had flower girls wear white, they definitely don't have to! Plenty of people on this forum have had flower girls not match the bride. It sounds like your flower girl dress will match your wedding color scheme anyway, so that plan seems ideal. I'd go for it and I'm sure she will look adorable!

View Quoted Comment Same!! That’s why I’m questioning it. Yes she will. Thank you!!

I've only ever seen the flowergirl match the bride one time and all guests said it was over the top. Honestly I wouldn't worry about it.

This is a cultural/ ethnic thing. I amd the people I come from find it disgusting when a young girl is dresses like a bride especially including a little veil. ( women, nun's wearing modest white dresses and veils as brides of Christ, as some do, equally NO. Let children wear party dresses of bright fun clothes appropriate for little girls. Not highly sexualized pageant gowns or bridesmaid gowns on younger children, either.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow that’s so strange. I’ve been to 4 weddings and in 1 and all of them the flower girl matches the bride

View Quoted Comment Wow interesting. She’s wearing a crown with me but I wouldn’t let her wear a veil. I always saw flower girl matching me until today when I found the dress that made me rethink it all.

View Quoted Comment I'm with Paige. I've never seen the flower girl match the bride. My niece was was flower girl in my wedding and a close family friends. For my wedding she wore a blush and gold dress, and then she wore a navy dress with a floral pattern for the other. Typically, I've seen flower girls coordinate with the bridesmaid dresses/wedding colors, not the bride.

View Quoted Comment That is what I’ve seen the most. If the bridesmaids were wearing burgundy, the flower girl wore pink with burgundy accents. If the bridesmaids wore blue, flower girl wore a light blue dress with dark blue accents.


They looked coordinated with the bridal party, not the bride!

View Quoted Comment Oh wow!! I’ve never been to a wedding where they didn’t wear white

My flower girl coordinated with my wedding colors during the ceremony and then changed into a unicorn dress for the reception.

View Quoted Comment Omgoodness that’s so cute!!

I don't think the flower girl needs to match. I think she will look just as cute in a different dress.

Totally agree- The flower girl doesn’t have to match the bride! The 1st dress we found for our flower girl was pink. A couple months later I found another dress from a bride (on here) that was selling her flower girl dresses as she had to reschedule her wedding & the girls would have grown out of them. Her dress is white with little flowers on them- nothing like my gray dress!

My. daughter (she'll be 8 turning 9) is the FG and she isn't wearing white She's wearing pink or blue which tie in to our tropical colors theme
