Non Traditional Flower Girl Dress

So I knew I would have FH (3) nieces as part of our wedding. Never did I realize that FH would want them ALL in white dresses. I believe with me in my white dress and them in their white dresses that is just to much white and to top it off adding a FG who normally wears a white dress. Did anyone put...

Did anyone put their FG in a different color? I was talking with my BF and MOH about putting FG in one of our colors (either Blue/Orange). Would that look tacky?

Since my BM will be in blue I’m really leaning towards orange. What do ya’ll think?

    My FG is almost 2 and I didnt want her in white because I knew that she might get something on the dress. So I went with a latte colored dress and the color complimented my champagne colored dress perfectly.

    Here is the dress similar to what my FG and Bride Announcer will be wearing. I think my actually dresses look better.

    Kimberly M, I want that dress!! I finally found one at Sears for our FG. It's black with white polka dots and pink trim (perfect!) It's just a normal sundress, so I'm hoping she can get more than one wear out of it.

    Isn't it great?! I was so excited when we found it. The BM's will be in dark blue dresses. I got it at Marshalls, but found a very similar one at Nordstrom Rack the other day. It was the same polka dot style, but the fabric was different.

    HI- All these are SO cute!!! Seriously just do what you want its not a huge deal!!! If you want orange make it the orange dress you LOVE. Why do people feel the need to follow all traditions? You can do whatever you would like Smiley smile

    My FG, my neice, was two at the time of our wedding. She wore a dress that was the same color as the BM dresses. I was the only one in white. Our colors were Apple Red, Black, and white for our picnic theme. I think if FG had been in white it would have blended too mych with my dress. Especially since she kept walking up to us during the ceremony LOL

    BMs - Apple Red

    Jr. BM - Black

    FG - Apple Red with white trim

    Gorgeous dresses!

    I think wearing a lighter version of complementing version of your BM dresses is just fine.

    Everyone thank you for all your help. My MOH and I were able to decide on a dress that we love and now I'm really ready for the wedding where my FG can wear her dress.

    My girls picked their own out at target... they also did wand's not flowers. You can do anything you want and any dress or outfit you would like for the flower girls to wear. I don't like to follow tradition, its not me at all. I really only had flower girls becuase they decided they were doing it themselves : )

    Amy L- my daughter below is wearing that dress in a wedding in September... Smiley smile
