HANDMADE FLOWER GIRL DRESSES AUSTRALIA + 7 TIPS TO HAPPY FLOWERGIRLS

Congratulations on your gorgeous flower girl or (girls!) accepting your invitation to join your Bridal squad! These Wedding cuties are a precious addition to your Wedding day and not just because you get to help pick out the junior size dresses and accessories. The tradition actually dates back centuries and it was said that the flower petals she scattered were a symbol of fertility and bring the newly wed couple luck - naw!

Here are few quick tips on how to maximise the fun of the experience for your mini-Bridal squad in their adorable, swoon-worthy flower girl dress designs...

Tip 1
You want them to feel as adorably comfortable as they can be, so if possible, have them help you choose their own flowergirl outfit. This will also add to their confidence on the big day.

Tip 2
Seat their most familiar family members in aisle seats in a spot that you would like the flower girl to head towards - preferably to the end of the aisle but as far as they make it will be perfect!

Tip 3
This might sound like such a logical thing to mention, but is a step that is easy to forget in amongst all of the excitement on the day: Ensure that the timing of the Wedding works in well with nap times (if the flower girl is still in this age group) and that they keep to their normal eating schedules - having snacks handy that won't make a mess while they are getting ready are a great idea.

Tip 4
Practise! With their outfits on. This will take some of the overwhelm out of the actual day if they can get used to the ceremony space before the day.

Tip 5
Offer the little ones things to do between getting ready and their aisle cue. A cute hamper with activities inside is also a beautiful way to say thank you too.

Tip 6
Stay flexible no matter what happens - your little flower lady/ladies are a fantastic soource of spontaneous and quirky fun events. Flower girl duties can be overwhelming so even is she cries and throws down her rose petal basket, you love her just the way she is.
