Warning: there’s one member of your wedding day crew that’s guaranteed to steal the show and your guests’ hearts. Yes, it’s the flower girl. This special someone preps the aisle and attendees for the grand entrances—a very important job! 

With many couples using more non-traditional routes, they’re no longer bound to a strict wedding planning box. And when it comes to flower girls, we’ve seen it all—nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, grandmas, and even best friends. No matter who you’ve trusted to take on the role of “flower girl” they deserve a flower girl outfit that’ll make them feel just as important as their role. 

Keep scrolling for the top flower girl dresses that are fit for every wedding theme, budget, and location. 

Adorable Flower Girl Dresses

If you’re going the traditional route when it comes to wedding day fashion, a dress would be a great option for your flower girl. Flower girl dresses come in a variety of different colors, styles, and fabrics that’ll be fit for any and every wedding theme. Here are a few of our favorites.

Non-Traditional Flower Girl Jumpsuits

Fashion is one way to make a statement on your big day, your flower girls outfit included. If you’re looking to ditch tradition and add a unique flair to your celebration, have your flower girl rock a romper or jumpsuit. These options are both stylish and comfortable—talk about the best of both worlds.

Grandma Flower Girl Outfits

There is no age limit when it comes to being a flower girl, thankfully! And recently flower girl grandmas have stolen the show in the wedding industry. To make sure Grandma feels her absolute best prepping the aisle for your grand entrance, here are a few dresses that’ll make her feel just as important as her role.

For Jaylynn and Jarrett, their Christianson’s Nursery wedding was everything they envisioned and more, thanks to their outstanding team of vendors. The couple’s attention to detail-with their three outfit changes and floral-filled aesthetic–made their big day a beautiful display of love, commitment, and style.

The pair took advantage of their venue’s natural beauty, with its beautiful gardens, nursery, and scenic landscape views. For their charming cottage ceremony, lush floral pillars framed the porch steps and the couple’s vow exchange. After tying the knot, they took it one step further by having their reception at the property’s greenhouse amongst vibrant blooms and greenery. The unique setting, natural environment, and gorgeous tablescape elevated the romantic atmosphere.

The Couple:

Jaylynn and Jarrett

The Wedding:

Christianson’s Nursery, Washington, United States

Why They Chose To Tie The Knot At Christianson’s Nursery

We chose Christianson’s Nursery for a few reasons. It was recommended to us by our planner, and it fits the vibe perfectly of what we wanted for the wedding. We knew we wanted to have dinner in a greenhouse surrounded by plants, so that was an immediate tick in the box. From the first point of contact, Emma at Christianson’s Nursery was absolutely amazing to work with, so it was a no-brainer.

The Inspiration Behind Their Christianson’s Nursery Wedding

The overall look and vibes we hoped to achieve for our wedding were simple, natural, and floral. I knew I wanted a floral wedding that wasn’t overdone but simple enough to accentuate more minor details placed intentionally. Our color palette was pink, white, and green. This vision came together by carefully choosing a venue that could add and enhance our vision and relying on our incredible wedding planner and vendors to use their expertise to perfect the setting.

Advice From The Newlyweds: Hire A Planner And Give Your Full Trust To Your Wedding Team

Our number one wedding planning advice is to get a wedding planner, if possible and within your budget. It should be a planner who is well experienced and has a portfolio of weddings that align with your vision. Then, relinquish some control to that planner and your vendors to make room for their suggestions on what they think is best for certain decisions. Many things at our wedding turned out better than we expected because we trusted our wedding team based on their expertise and knowledge. 

A Memorable And Relaxed First Dance

The most memorable part of the day was our first dance in the greenhouse after our dinner reception. Having a small wedding, we were so relaxed after just enjoying dinner with our closest family. Our first dance was a moment where we were completely comfortable and just having fun. We laughed and talked while dancing, both in awe about how perfect everything had gone during the ceremony.

Defining Their Wedding Vision And Sticking To It

The most important thing to us during the planning process was to stay true to our original vision and not be swayed by others or influences on social media. I knew that if I tried to incorporate every wedding “tradition” or “trend” that I saw online into our wedding day,  I would instantly become overwhelmed and panicked the day of. We wanted to identify the things most important to us and then stick to that list.

Matching the florals and decor to your venue is an essential part of wedding planning.

Attention to these details can transform your big day into a beautiful and unforgettable experience.

Ethereal Weekend-Long Lake Louise Wedding

February 25, 2023 | justine

Samantha and Jacob’s ethereal Lake Louise wedding was a sight to behold. Their goal was to have an adventurous elopement without having to sacrifice tradition, and they absolutely nailed it. The pair chose a stunning location in the Canadian Rockies to set the stage for their weekend-long affair and not only that, their timeless aesthetic, airy florals, and all-white color palette elevated the romantic vibe. Talk about a magical celebration of love!

With the majestic mountains, a sparkling lake, and alpine trees as a backdrop, the two exchanged beautiful heartfelt vows under a fabric-draped chuppah. After the ceremony, the couple explored the surrounding areas and went on a canoe ride for some breathtaking portraits in nature. Though the scenic views were hard to top, the true highlight was their reception at the Victoria ballroom. The space featured large windows that perfectly framed the surrounding landscape. Here guests were treated to a fondue dinner and wine on elegant candle-filled tablescapes.    

With captivating scenery, delicious food, and a whole lot of love, their big day is a reminder of what truly matters, your love. And thankfully, Henry Tieu was there to capture all the luxurious details and unforgettable moments that are sure to blow you away. 

The Couple:

Samantha and Jake

The Wedding:

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Lake Louise, Canada

How They Landed On A Weekend-Long Wedding Lake Louise Wedding

When we began wedding planning, we were looking for a fundamentally different type of event that struck a balance between a “traditional” wedding and adventure elopement. We wanted to host our family and friends for a weekend of incredible food and fun in a rugged and adventurous setting that felt luxurious and comfortable for guests with various comfort levels with being outdoors. And we smashed it with the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Our guests could walk, hike, canoe, or simply sit on the gorgeous terrace and enjoy the views. In terms of design, our wedding day vibe was ethereal, romantic, and contemporary. We leaned into ethereal fabrics and textures. We’re incredibly fortunate that instead of having a dream wedding day, we had an epic wedding week adventure with 80 of our closest family and friends.

Giving Their Guests Practical Welcome Bags

We intentionally gave welcome bags for all our guests instead of wedding favors. I’m a strong advocate for functionality, and the welcome bags would be a delightful surprise for our guests as they checked into their hotel rooms. We included a combination of functional items for the weather and our planned activities, post-celebration survival essentials, some of our favorite treats, and an ode to our wedding destination, maple cream cookies.

Kicking Off Their Wedding Weekend With A Bachelorette Party And Rehearsal Dinner

I have moved around quite a bit, so naturally, my bridesmaids lived across the country. We decided to host my bachelorette party in Kananaskis a few days before the rest of our guests arrived. This maximized our time in beautiful Alberta and meant that my gals didn’t have to make two separate PTO requests and needed only one flight instead of two. We relaxed at the Nordic hydrotherapy spa, had a pizza party and pajama party, and then went to Lake Louise to hike the iconic Lake Agnes Tea House hike. The party concluded, and we celebrated the official start of our wedding weekend with an unbelievable rehearsal dinner with our wedding party. We worked with the fantastic Post Hotel Lake Louise team to plan a four-course dinner with sommelier-selected wine and creative non-alcoholic pairings.

Making Their Day More Meaningful With Personal Touches

We had several meaningful, memorable parts on our special day. Jacob and I wrote private letters to each other that we read while getting ready. We also wrote personal vows for one another that we read to each other during our ceremony, and we’re going to cherish these forever. We agreed that one of our favorite parts of the day was Yichud. It’s customary for the newly married couple to share some time in privacy to reflect on the wedding ceremony and rejoice in their new life. During yichud, we fed each other cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres and got to try our signature cocktails. After yichud, we celebrate.

Taking Their Guests To Their Fave Spot And Treating Them To A Farewell Brunch

On Saturday, we hosted our guests for an afternoon at Moraine Lake. We fell in love with Moraine Lake the first time we visited, so it was great to experience one of the most beautiful places in the world (in my humble opinion) with our favorite people. We also had one of our favorite local places—Trailhead Cafe—cater wraps and sweets, which made the afternoon even better! The day after the wedding, we hosted a farewell brunch in honor of Jacob’s favorite meal. Then following our brunch, we hit the road for more intimate adventuring. We spent the next two days with our planner, videographer, and photographer, hiking, canoeing, and experiencing even more epic views.

Wedding Planning Advice: Start With Your Guest List

If you’re not sure where to start, start with building your guest list. Having an early understanding of the number of people you couldn’t imagine getting married without is helpful for budgeting and finding a venue. From there, focus on the things and people who are meaningful to you. Our guiding philosophy: “People will never forget how you made them feel.” So we wanted our guests to feel loved and included.

Planning A Wedding That Showcased Their Love Story

We planned a wedding celebration and adventure that captured the essence of “us.” We feel fortunate that we got to say “I do” and share this once-in-a-lifetime trip with our closest family and friends in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. After the wedding, we had multiple people thank us for motivating them to take a trip outside their comfort zone. This was meaningful, considering all our guests went out of their way to travel to Lake Louise to be with us. Not a small ask, but they did it with love!
