Flower girl who hates dresses

Trying to "make" her wear something she doesnt want will result in a temper tantrum. Look for a lacey romper in the same color as your cousin if you cant find it in that color look for it in white and just dye it

If you can find a romper/jumpsuit I think that would be a great option. Otherwise I'd let her wear a suit. I don't think anything good will come out of forcing a child to wear something they are uncomfortable in.

Yeah, she is 6 almost 7 so i feel like she should be old enough to understand not to throw a fit, but i do want her to have fun and feel comfortable. But, that romper is super cute, I think this will be the best way to go about it! Thanks so much!

You knew her personality when you asked her to be your flower girl. Asking her to change the way she is to fit your aesthetic would be extremely disrespectful. Let her wear whatever she’s comfortable in.

I disagree with PP. I think it's one day and she should be ok with wearing a dress for one day without complaining or throwing a temper tantrum.

Have you a

Asked the flower girl what she wants to wear?

As a child who had to constantly wear dresses I hated at tons of family weddings, I don’t want to make my nieces miserable. One is girly and likes a dress. The one isn’t. I am going to let her wear a men’s suit. Her choice. I would rather have her there and happy then miserable. Especially since years from now, no one will care what she wore or why. Better to let her have it be a happy memory.
But my mom was shocked when I put my foot down over this issue... “girls don’t wear suits” or some nonsense. Do what is right for you. Don’t care about what anyone thinks.

I would try the romper or even a suit. do you care if she wears a little suit? i'm sure she will look adorable in whatever she wears. if you don't mind what she wears try asking what she prefers.. she just might surprise you

Sure, it's only one day. But if you love her and want to honor her with a role in your wedding, I would think you would want her to feel good and enjoy the day. Her not wearing a dress will have zero impact on your wedding. But forcing her to be uncomfortable might be something she remembers forever.

This is not directed solely at you, but to the wedding planning world in general (we see this sort of thing come up ALL the time): people are not props. Trying to change people to fit the "vision" or aesthetic of a wedding can hurt feelings and damage relationships.
