New Christmas Style has arrived

Flowergirlprincess.com is getting ready for the Christmas season for sure. A new style arrived today and it radiates Christmas. Available in toddlers sizes all the way to teens, this dress is perfect for a school dance or that Saturday night family Christmas party.
For a smaller child we recomend a little fur shrug or bolero. A tween will love the flowing movie star matching scarf.

This year the 'Amherst' Girls Christmas Dress is a trendy winner.







Flower Girl Dresses for your Toddler

Frequent questions come from customers who are prepping a little girl who might be just a big young to really take in all the direction needed for a flower girl's duties. Toddlers do make great cherub additions to any wedding party especialy a bright eyed little girl who is aware and eager to play the part. When searching for a toddler flower girl dress our sizes come in two size intervals. This means typically you will see 2, 4, 6, etc. These dresses are usually cut to fit 2/3, 4/5, and so on, unless otherwise noted. The two number is the same as a 2T, which stands for 2 Toddler. Every clothing manufacturer is different so if a perfect fit is required we would recommend attention to the size chart. A toddler flower girl is much easier to fit than the bigger girls. A toddler flower girl has fewer and simpler styles to select from as it is most important to put the child in an age appropriate dress. Puffing the skirt so that it ends about the shoe toe is recommended so no one trips on their flower petals. In the smaller sizes the chest and waist measurements are usually the same and a fat fluffy sash can pull in any extra fabric with out the need for actual alterations. So, pick a dress that she can wear for her piano recitales in the spring!


Get a first peak at new holiday girls dress styles



Its Christmas Time at FlowerGirlPrincess. OK, well its not actually Christmas, in fact, its not even Halloween yet, but the fashion world is always a month or two ahead and we saw a few spectacular styles this season that we can't wait to put on the line. So, yes, at Flower Girl Princess it IS in fact Christmas time. This is the time of year we add a little variety to our inventory instead of the traditional flower girl dress we start scouting the fashion world for the perfect collection of girls christmas dresses. The traditional seasonal crushed velvet dresses with threads of silver and gold sewn through are not lacking this year for the young child. However, the style that has us a buzz is for the older sweetheart from 8 - 12 ish. Rhinestones!! This season is a clean pure sparkle with a subtle rhinestone lining along a neckline or waist. This season we're looking for versitility. There are crisp bold colors on the line this winter and that means we arent limited to red,green, silver, and gold for a festive look. Blues and pinks are bright like christmas tree balls and we have a ton of bright colors with switch and match. The next great feature to this years line is the short bubble style. We expect this to cary right into spring and summer and once the winter is gone take off that ivory faux fur bolero and you are ready for thhe spring dance!
Take a peek here at a great example of the new satin short festive dresses. If you have a twelve year old who is already a shopping pro chances are this is already on her list of must haves.


November Feature

This week FlowerGirlPrincess is featuring one of our favorite black and white classics SK2920 - Brin. The Brin style is available in silver and peach, but the black and white contrast dress is by far the most popular. This dress is suprisingly heavy and full with its multiple satin and tulle layers. Extra tulle creates a light airy fluttery look.


FlowerGirlPrincess 'Princess of the week'

We recently received a message from a happy customer. She wrote the following, "By the way,
I wanted to thank you AGAIN for the expedited service. I was so nervous
after the first dress didn't fit--terrified that I hadn't allowed enough time before
the wedding to exchange the dress for the right size. In any case, thank you, thank
you, thank you! We received the dresses (size 4 & 6) well in time for our departure
to Canada. The wedding was chaotic (a long story), but the flower girl dress looked
great on my daughter. Attached is a picture.'


New Arrivals for the Fall Season

The month of August brings the first peek of fall fashion. Of course, at Flowergirlprincess we are buzzing about this seasons wedding industry styles, and from what we've seen there is a lot to buzz about. The fall usually brings on a complete shift in fabric and colors from the previous two seasons and when planning an event a year in advance it is important to stay abreast on the latest trends. However, wedding fashion will stay popular for 2 and even 3 years to accommodate for long term planning.

Although we specialize in all children's formal wear, flower girl dresses are our number one favorite topic. A flower girl dress represents the perfect symbol of innocence and princess fantasy that leaves us with so much creative opportunity. This September one can expect bold strong colors like red and bright blue, and purple. Even the pastels are a stronger, brighter, more vibrant shade. Traditional wedding fabrics like satin can carry these bold colors well.

The bubble dress is a big hit again this season. A bubble dress is when the lining is is sealed with the main garment. Usually there is a layer of fluffy crinoline netting or tulle stuffed inside the two sealed layers and the hem puffs out in a bubble appearance. This style is a chic look that can be worn for all formal and semi-formal occasions. One of the great aspects of this dress is its diversity and ability to wear this style for more than just its one time wedding celebration.



Although this style has been around for a few seasons, this fall we see the multi tiered version. This is a combination of a tiered layered outer layer with each tier sealed in lining with the bubble style. This is a new style and has been wildly popular with wedding parties. One can expect to see these multi tiered bubble dresses in classic white or ivory with a bold red or blue over sized sash.


Taffeta is another classic fabric for fall and winter flower girl dresses . Look for elaborate embroidery this holiday season over an outer layer of party taffeta. One will find rich royal plums, corals, purples, and hearty foresty greens. This years embroidery is thick and textured and creates a look of regal quality.




Also, look for names associated with American manufacturers. In the past few years small American companies have pulled far ahead their competition in quality and craftsmanship. Todays manufacturers are producing hand beaded garments, along with custom crafted item. The consumer appreciation for American made goods has started to pay off as some of these well run manufacturers are producing dozens of more styles in their seasonal line than they were even five years ago.

FlowerGirlPrincess joins the home coming in Waddington, NY



The weekend of August 8-9 brought out a large traditional home coming celebration in Waddington, NY. Flowergirlprincess traveled north to the annual celebration and offered a presentation of our line to the browsing festival goers . Of course our line isnt entirely limited to wedding occasions and many little girls walked away with new school dresses, church clothes, and party dresses. Some were so excited they wore their princess garments right over their clothes and marched down the way following the parade. Thank you to all the lovely families who stopped by to visit.
