My lovely DSIL has asked DD (6yo) to be her flower girl. My nieces - DSIL's daughters, aged late teens to early 20s - will be her bridesmaids.
DSIL is very relaxed about what DD wears, and has said she just wants DD to be comfortable, but I want to make sure I get it right! I want her to fit in well with the bridal party, but obviously in a junior/simpler style.
DSIL will be wearing a floaty, lace, creamy-white dress. Her bridesmaids haven't chosen their dresses yet, but I think they are planning rose/red, probably satin. The bride is aiming for a romantic, vintage feel, and the wedding will be relaxed and happy.
So...
a) Flower girl dresses often seem to be white. Would that be the best, or should I coordinate colour with the bridesmaids dresses? Would just a sash be enough coordination, or should the whole dress be e.g. a paler shade of the bridesmaids dresses?
b)Given that DSIL will be wearing lace, should DD wear a lace dress too (there are some very pretty monsoon ones) in order to match in style? Or should she wear satin, to not be too similar to the bride?
c) Or if white lace is too close, would pink lace (if that coordinates with the bridesmaids) be suitable ?
d) I'm thinking probably flowers in her hair?
e) Anything else I should think of?
I know I'm over thinking this, but my DSIL is truly lovely, and I want to get it right!
