In this article: Winter Wedding Guest Dresses: What to Look For Winter Wedding Guest Dresses: What to Look For Choosing a dress for the winter season of weddings, consider the following aspects: Fabric: opt for heavier, warmer fabrics like velvet, brocade, wool, or heavy silk. Besides keeping you warm, it will be one more addition to make you look posh in your outfit. Length: For a winter wedding, longer is usually better. That way, you can receive both style and practicality from midi or maxi lengths. Color: While dark, rich hues are traditional for winter, don't be afraid to pop in some jewel tones or metallics to add festiveness. Sleeves: Long-sleeved or three-quarter sleeve dresses are perfect for weddings in winter because they add much-needed warmth while offering elegance. Layering potential: Wear a dress in which layering with a coat, wrap, or shawl is relatively easy. Embellishments: Winter is the time to wear sequined, beaded, or elaborately embroidered dresses to add that extra bit of glamour. Neckline: The higher necks or turtlenecks will go far in keeping you warm without sacrificing style. Silhouette: A-line, sheath, or wrap dresses are all good options for weddings in this season because they offer both comfort and sophistication. The Best Winter Wedding Guest Dresses 1.

So, your big day is coming. For the task - selecting your flower girl and dressing her, here is a complete guide to help you pass this charming section of wedding preparation without obstacle by answering ten very important questions. In this article: 1.What is a flower girl? 1. What is a Flower Girl? A flower girl is a young participant in the ceremony of a wedding. The roles are: Symbolically, she represents innocence and the transition from childhood to adulthood that marriage represents. Practically, she walks down the aisle with the bride, throwing petals; sometimes, beauty takes an aisle before the bride does. In British tradition, sometimes the flower girls carry horseshoes as a sign of good luck. These are usually just fake ones, made out of lace and fabric to match her dress. Nowadays, it is common that they scatter petals, although some still carry small bouquets or baskets of confetti or other items that would fit in the style of the wedding. 2. Who Should Be the Flower Girl? This can be very subjective, very often depending on family dynamics and relative relationships. Of course, a few natural choices happen relatively frequently, including: Nieces or young cousins of either the bride or groom Daughters of close friends The couple's daughter, if any Younger sisters of the couple There is no hard and fast rule, and hence you need to pick a person who enjoys this role and is in the possession of traits that bring extra flavor to your celebration.  3. How Old Should They Be? The ideal flower girl age is anywhere between 3 and 8 years of age. A lot depends on the maturity level of the particular child and what works best for the couple. For instance, 3-4 years: Adorable, but most will require a bit of guidance and support. 5-6 years: Usually the sweet spot-just old enough to understand what is expected from them but young enough to be adorably cute. Ages 7-8: Much more reliable, but getting to that age where they might appreciate just being a junior bridesmaid Consider these when selecting: Can follow simple directions Are comfortable walking down an aisle alone in front of an audience Have the stamina for the ceremony and photos If you have a younger in mind, consider pairing her up with an older flower girl or ring bearer to help her through. It's no surprise that English wedding ceremonies include a series of younger flower girls combined with very slightly older ones or mixed with page boys for added appeal and presence. 4. Can I Have More Than One? Of course! It is very common to have more than one flower girl. Reasons you may want to do this include: You have a large family and would like to incorporate several girls. You would like to balance the representation between both sides of your family. You would like to have a more dramatic entrance in which there's a little procession. If you will have more than one flower girl: take their pictures together, so you can have them all coordinated; if there are going to be more than two, you may want to assign certain things that each can do. 5. What Does a Flower Girl Wear? The flower girl should dress in such a way that complements your style of wedding. Also, she should be old enough to be comfortable and actually fit into a dress. Dresses can include: Miniature wedding gown replicas Simpler white or ivory dresses Themed attire: attires that match the style of a fairytale, a vintage era, or bohemian flavor. Key Considerations: Fabric – appropriate for the venue and season and still comfortable for the kids to move around in Length – Floor-length dresses for gals may be a bit difficult to manage especially for younger girls. Tea-length or knee-length frocks can be the better choice in some cases. Accessories – it would help to add sashes, flowers, or headpieces in coordination with the outfit Shoes: Comfortable enough that she will be able to walk -and dance, if appropriate-with ease. 6. What Colour are Flower Girl Dresses Supposed to be? They have traditionally been white or ivory but have recently become more varied. You might base your decision on: Wedding colour scheme Bridesmaids' dress colour(s) The flower girl's colouring and preferences Other popular colours include: White or Ivory: Classic wedding colours that reflect a continuation of bridal customs. Pastels: Delicate pinks, lavenders, or blues give a subtle, romantic feel. Bold colours: so as to make a statement or tie into a vibrant colour scheme. Patterns: Floral prints and even more so, subtle designs add charm and personality. 7. Who Pays for the Flower Girl Dress? Traditionally, the flower girl's family pays for her attire. Of course, there are some modern weddings where there are exceptions to this rule. Some other options include: The bride's family pays The flower girl family pays The couple pays for it Parties split the costs To avoid confusion: Discuss the budget openly and early in the wedding planning Keep your overall wedding budget in mind and how this expense fits into your overall wedding budget. Specify any expectations about shoes, accessories and other incidentals. Is the flower girl's family paying? If so, be sensitive to their financial situation and offer to help offset any costs, if possible. 8. How Much Should Flower Girl Dresses Be? Costs for a flower girl dress: £30-£300 and up and are usually based upon: Material Quality Name and Designer or Brand Name Complexity of the Design Custom-made or off-the-rack Budget considerations: Lower end (£30-£80): A good range for when the style is relatively simple or the flower girl will grow its use quickly. Mid-range (£80-£150): Strikes a healthy balance between quality and price. Highest range (£150+): Designer dresses or gowns of your choice or bespoke Just to reiterate, an increase in price does not always equate to the best fit for your wedding. Remember that you are really looking for a dress that fits within your style and budget and at the same time makes the flower girl comfortable. 9. Does a Flower Girl Have to Match the Bride or Bridesmaids? Well, it does not have to be an exact match, but matching the flower girl's outfit with the wedding party pulls their look together. Consider these choices: Exact Match: A miniature of the dresses of the bridesmaids Tone-on-Tone: keeping all the bridesmaids in the same colour palette. Complementary: in the same colour palette or with elements of style that are similar. Contrasting: a standout dress with many elements from the other dress types. Tips to coordinate: Similar fabrics or textures Elements of the Bride's dress, ie. lace or beading Accessorize with the same sashes or headpieces on the bridesmaids The idea is to make the flower girl look as though she were indeed part of the bridal party, all while allowing her to maintain her own sweet, age-appropriate style. 10. How to Thank Your Flower Girls for Being a Part of Your Wedding Day? Your flower girl(s) would deserve appreciation so try these thoughtful ways to say thank you: Gifts: Age-appropriate jewelry: charm bracelet or necklace Personalized items like tote bags or robes Special toys or soft animals Books about weddings or being a flower girl Experiences: Include her in pre-widening activities such as dress shopping or a special tea party Allow her to get her hair or nails done with the rest of the bridal party Recognition: Mention her by name within your speech Include a special photo session just for her Let her take a part in the reception, such as cutting the cake Why not accompany your gift or gesture with a note written from the heart to say how grateful you are and what, specifically, you and husband, to be, will never forget? Even with the littlest members of the wedding party, preparing and planning for the role of a flower girl may be a time of happiness. Think about the ten questions above and your flower girl experience will be one of beauty and treasured memories for your wedding day.

When it comes to picking your wedding guest outfit, one of the most important parts is colour. This guide will help you navigate those sometimes tricky waters of wedding guest fashion so that you come out stylish and appropriate for the occasion. In this article: Wedding Dress Code Explained Wedding Dress Code Explained Before looking at colour options, it's of utmost importance to know what type of wedding dress code there is, as this can greatly skew your colour choices: White Tie: This is the utmost formal kind of dress code. Women would usually put on floor-length gowns in very dark colours and rich shades of fabric, whereas men will wear black tailcoats finished with a white bow tie. Black Tie: A notch down from white tie and still pretty fancy. Women can wear long gowns or dressy cocktail dresses in jewel tones, with most guys going for the classic: black tuxedos also in midnight blue. Formal or Black Tie Optional: This category also allows the sense of free-wheeling, just adds that for women either a cocktail dressing or a long gown in some defined colours. And men can effortlessly pick a dark suit in charcoal, navy, or black. Semi-Formal or Cocktail: The choices in a semi-formal or cocktail dress for women open up even more, as now pastels and prints can be welcome, and so can a suit in medium shades of gray, blue, or brown for men. Beach Formal: Beach garment taken up a notch—light or breathing fabric with soft colours. Casual: This is a great dress code that offers the most flexibility. Go for a cheerful and comfortable colour with your best sundress for women, and for men, prefer slacks with button-down shirts in pastel or muted shades. Seasonal Colours Seasonality can have a strong impact on your colour palette. For instance: Spring—With the season of rebirth, embrace soft pastels such as blush pink, mint green, light periwinkle blue and soft yellow. Florals are also very popular. Summer—Introduce vibrant, bright, happy colours that are reminiscent of the summer sun—coral, turquoise, or sunny yellow, for instance. The best fabrics for this season are light and airy. Autumn—Fall weddings look beautiful in deep and warm tones. Beautifully captured by the colours burgundy, forest green, and deep orange, you can add golden yellow as an accent, giving it the feel of the season. Winter—Winter weddings would look excellent in jewel tones like sapphire blue, emerald green, and deep purple. Dazzling metallics like gold and silver are also perfect for a festive aura in weddings. Colour by Venues Your colour choices may also be influenced by the wedding location(Wedding Venues in the UK). Examples include: Beach or Tropical Destination: Aqua, coral, seafoam, and sandy beige are great choices that don't absorb heat but also give you that light, feel-at-the-beach type of feel. Garden or Outdoor Wedding: Opt for soft, earth hue tones that blend with nature. Ideal hues are sage, lavender, peach, sky blue, and floral prints in these colours would be an incredible complement to the set up. Rustic or Barn Wedding: A barn or a rustic wedding would be complete with a colour scheme inspired by the country charm. Dusty blue, terracotta, olive green, and warm brown make the flare abound with a palette of rustic simplicity. Formal Ballroom or Hotel: More sophisticated, elegant tones work better for formal ballroom or hotel weddings. Yes, you can't miss at these upscale venues with navy, deep purple, champagne, and silver. Trendy Colour Options for Wedding Guest Dresses While classic colours will always be safe, here are a few trendy picks(Use the code BLOG10 to get 10% off Ever Pretty all wedding guest dresses!) to help make a statement in style: Peach: Pantone's 2024 Colour of the Year is going to be one of the most energetic and joyful wedding choices out there. Classic Blue: Timeless, graceful, and suits any wedding style. Sage Green: Softer than some other green shades, this natural tone is very on-trend due to its versatility and calming effect. Lavender: This romantic colour works well for both daytime and evening weddings. Champagne: A chic alternative to white that adds sophistication and a touch of glamour to your overall appearance. Colours to Avoid With so many colours to pick from, some are great whereas others are not the best: White: White is a colour of the bride—traditionally—and so off-white, ivory should be strictly outlawed. If you must wear a light-coloured dress or outfit, go for distinctly nonwhite colours like pale blue or blush. Black: This colour would be fine for an evening or a formal wedding but perhaps a bit too somber for a daytime or casual wedding. Red: Red is too brash a colour for the wedding guest. If you love the colour, think about a deeper red, such as a burgundy, or a little softer red, like rust, and something to add a punch of colour. Neon Colours: These will be too bright and be a visual distraction, taking away the attention from the wedding couple. Wedding Party Colours: It is not very advisable to put on colours similar to the maids or those of the groomsmen.If in doubt, there is no harm in asking the couple or one of their wedding party members what their colour scheme ensemble should be.

Consider the Destination As usual, the location of the wedding heavily influence your outfit choice: Beach wedding: Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen or chiffon. Men can consider linen suits or smart shorts with a crisp shirt. Mountain or countryside: Layer up with elegant wraps or light jackets. Choose fabrics that travel well. City celebration: Go for more formal attire, such as cocktail dresses or sleek suits. 2. Respect Local Culture Have an research on the local customs of your destination: Some cultures may require more modest clothing; then women might need to pay attention to the neckline, slit or other details of the dress. In certain regions, bright colors might be preferred, while in others, they may be considered inappropriate for guests. 3. Check the Dress Code Generally, the couple have a vision for the wedding. Always adhere to any dress code specified by them: Black tie: Men should wear tuxedos, while ladies can opt for floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses. Check out here for A Guide to Black Tie Attire. Cocktail attire: Think knee-length dresses for women and suits (with or without ties) for men.

The complete saying is: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in her shoe." Here's a brief explanation of each: Something old: old items that represent continuity with the bride's family and the past. Something new: symbolizes optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead, for example, a new wedding dress is enough. Something borrowed: usually an item from a happily married friend or family member whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride, like jewelry from moms, grandmas, or stepmoms. Something blue: represents love, purity, and fidelity; Traditionally, brides would choose some blue items. A sixpence in her shoe: This British custom is meant to bring prosperity to the couple. 12 "Something Blue" Wedding Ideas While some wedding traditions fade, this charming custom continues to captivate couples. Ready to add this dash of tradition to your contemporary celebration? Let's explore 12 creative "something blue" ideas that will make your wedding day even more special and meaningful. 1.

Silhouette central: A-Line Dresses A-line dresses are universally flattering, fitting at the waist and gradually widening towards the hem. They are perfect for creating an elegant and timeless look. Mermaid Dresses Love your curves? Go mermaid. This style accentuates your curves and adds a dramatic touch to your ensemble. Sheath Dresses For a sleek modern vibe, you can't go wrong with a sheath.

I found my dream dress this way, and it was SO not what I expected to love! What Colours Complement an Emerald Green Dress? Now, let's talk about making that green pop! Here are our ride-or-die colour combos(you can refer to these colours for choosing the coordinated accessories and shoes): 1. Metallic magic: Gold or rose gold is ride-or-die.

Neutral but never boring: Black is classic for a reason - it'll let that gorgeous green be the star of the show. White creates a crisp, fresh look that's perfect for summer events. And nude? It's subtle, sophisticated, and lets you shine. 3. Bold and beautiful: Lighter green paired with emerald green will have you feeling like royalty.
