For our wedding I asked Jeff's niece to be our flower girl. She's an
adorable 3 and a half year old. Her dad will be standing up next to Jeff
for the wedding, as he is the best man, and so I figured we should be
quite limited when it comes to dramatic antics from the kiddos in the
wedding party.

What I didn't think much
about was what she was going to wear. I guess my approach to this
wedding is more, "As long as it fits in the overall theme, then I don't
care what you wear." There's never been a set color scheme and so that
is (hopefully) going to create a beautiful array of colors at the
wedding. What I did find out was that Alice is going to be wearing a
pink dress with grey fabric flowers on the waist. It's cute, but I
thought that since I made something for my ring bearer, I should do the
same for my flower girl. Enter inspiration:
I love
floral crowns and if our wedding had gone more in the direction of
ethereal and hippy, I would be sporting a floral crown myself. So I
thought Alice could have one since I can't. :) I set out to the dollar
shop and bought a variety of bright flowers to use. I also went to
Spotlight (the equivalent of Michaels) and got floral tape.
Two episodes of Friends later and I had this:
It
was relatively easy to make the crown and I'm surprised I haven't made
one before now. When I took the crown over to Alice's house to give to
her, she put it on, grabbed the basket and went outside to pick flower
petals to practice her job. A-dorable. I only wish I had my camera at
the time and had captured this moment.
Did you make
something special for each person in the wedding party? Do you sometimes
wish you could walk around with a floral crown on? I do!

I think it's adorable! Although while I love flower crowns, our flower girls wore a little tiara, which I think she loved even more.
