We decided to have flowergirls. We don't need flowergirls, we're not having bridesmaids or best men or anything like that. But we figured we had the opportunity to give two little girls the best memory of the year... maybe even a highlight of their childhood.
We wrote them big letters asking them, and sent them a package of fabric to make the dress of their dreams. They can come up with any design they like! Mind you we've asked the Mum's to oversee that they don't end up looking too much like poofy Disney princesses or child beauty queens. That's a big ask for 4 and 5 year old girls, who both love pink and princessy things. Nevertheless, I'm sure they'll come up with something that they'll love.
I sent them this fabric (yes, some of it is pink), suggesting they could add other fabric if they liked. I like the idea of adding bright colours, maybe a bright peach colour or something, but it's out of my hands now, totally up to them :)
I also sent some inspiration pics to get them thinking outside of the traditional flowergirl dress shape. This picture is from the Coco movie (I like the dresses either side of the frame). But again, it's all in their cute little hands now. (Theirs and those of their Grandma's who have been enlisted as the dressmakers).
I can't wait to see them on the day. It'll be a surprise for us, and I'm so excited to see what they come up with!
I hope they love it.

What a magical and unique way of doing things. Your wedding is going to be so fabulous.
beautiful fabric!! I can't wait either- the cuteness!!!
I was a flower girl when I was 5 or 6. It was totally magical. I felt very important. Definitely a wonderful childhood memory that has stayed with me. They will be thrilled!
This is the most wonderful idea! Surprises all round!
That is awesome! Those fabrics are beautiful. Everyone is excited to see the outcome. Keep us posted. Good day!
