Should flower girl dresses match bridesmaids?

The flower girl is usually a young child, and giving her a dress that is exactly the same as the bridesmaids can feel too formal or restrictive. Instead, many couples pick a colour from the same family, for example the same blue but in a softer tone, or the same blush but with a different neckline. This creates a cohesive look without making the child feel like a miniature adult. You could also match the flower girl's dress to the bridesmaids' accessories, such as their sashes or shoes, or to the wedding flowers. Some couples choose white or ivory for the flower girl so she stands out from the bridal party, which can look lovely in photos. If you do want a match, that is absolutely fine, just make sure the fabric and style are comfortable for a child to move and play in. Remember that children grow quickly, so order the dress closer to the wedding date and leave room for growth. The most important thing is that the flower girl feels happy and confident, because she will be walking down the aisle in front of everyone.
