These dresses from The Little Dress Making Company would be so sweet for flower girls.

My favourite is definitely the grey, I think it's adorable. I can also see that the white & pink (or coconut ice as it is named) would be quite a popular choice given how many people choose pink as a highlight colour.

I know they are perhaps a more informal choice however I think that the best flower girl dresses are those that while fitting in with the style &/or colour scheme of the wedding, still make the girls look like children as opposed to children dressed as adults?

This style is called 'Shirley' & are available in sizes one to nine, they are made from 55% linen & 45% cotton, except for the red option which is pure cotton. 
The company is based in Melbourne, I feel it's always icing on the cake to be able to support small businesses.

#112 For Flowery Girls

These very cute porcelain bird hair clips would be a very sweet flower girl present, & look very cute for them to wear on the day

"The dove was a symbol of peace and long life to the ancient Chinese. The ancient Egyptians held the dove to symbolize quiet innocence. Two doves can symbolize love."
I quite like the Egyptian symbolism ( which I hadn't heard before) & it seems very appropriate in this context too.

I love that the porcelain is unglazed & I think that while they are age appropriate & something that most little girls would love, that if cared for it is something that they could also quite easily wear as adult.
I'm all for thinking forward on children's gifts on special occasions such as weddings, I'd like to imagine that they will always treasure the gift as well as enjoying the memory...
