*Warning* Excessively fluffy cuteness ahead!
We have begun the search for the perfect tutu flower girl dress for the wedding in a few weeks. After a long while of looking, I finally had to put it before the bride. What did SHE want the girls to be wearing. She wanted fluffy tutus, likes flowers and peacock feathers, colors are deep purple, gold and hunter green.
Here are some of the options I found. Please forgive my links. I tried my very best to have links to everything, but so many I just could not track down. Those are simply linked to their pintrest pins.
The dress above we like the purple. It is the right color, plus the flowers on the bodice are fabulous.
This cute dress is traditional white {love} and has a peacock feather, but that feather is so huge it has to be bothering that poor girl.
Here is my beef with tutu dresses. Right after my cousin's wedding a few years ago there was another group just heading in for their ceremony. The poor little girls were standing there in their un-lined tutu dresses just like this one {but in color}, in bright daylight, and they could have been naked for all that the dress covered up. You could see right through the tulle and tell what color panties they had on and their poor little bodies showed right through that crocheted ribbon crap. The crochet ribbon works great as a headband for a little baby, and you might even convince me it is ok for a 1 yr old's birthday photo shoot, but seriously? It stretches out and the girls are practically naked.
Not wedding material. I watched for alternatives as I searched. Prepare to see a few other choices as these stretchy bands are not modesty award winners.
Loved this one! Probably because I love the color combo with all my heart. I also like that this has sleeves. The flowers are just enchanting, so light and frilly. I love the whole thing and can even look past the fact the back is that stretchy ribbon crap. Cover the front with a plethora of fluffy flowers and I am a happy mama.
Love! It has that vintage, "Excuse me while I go frolic through the forest on my unicorn" look about it. Can I get this in size ginormous for me???
Hands down, my favorite of all. I love, Love, LoVE this. The huge head piece, the lace on the bodice, the ruggedness of the tulle. Throw some sleeves on her and I am set. I just don't think the bride loved it. I guess we will have to make this in pale blue for later ;0}
Still the crocheted crap, but that big bow takes away from it a bit. I could line the bodice...or just do some good old shirring of satin and make that the bodice...then I could keep the rest.
What's that? Not a pink wedding.
We will make this one in pink for later too. Emmalee, you better like tutu dresses. I am about to whip up a closet full. The google searching needs to end. My to-do list is already wrapped around the moon twice.
How adorable. I LOVE that weaving on the bodice. That is just weaving of tulle! Not gonna happen for the wedding, but AH-Ma-ZinG!
Let's try it with lace now. That is just precious.
I really like this look. Lining would still be a must, but this is pretty.
I like the bow from behind too.
Check out these guys...
Awe! Just a pile of moving poof balls. I might just squeal here.
This is a late addition I found while trying to track down all my sources. LOVE. That is all I can say. I am not a fan of spaghetti strap for little's, this is precious though. I LOVE the satin, the bling along the skirt line...and just about fell over when I saw that back. I might have to send this one over to the bride. It is SO CUTE!
So trains on the flower girls were a new idea for me. After seeing this cutie, I might just be on board. This is a shirt/skirt combo. Just gorgeous.
At one point the bride wanted purple on top, white on bottom...that is where this one came from. Still the train idea, flowers to cover the no-no squares. Cute, but bride is over it now. She wants all white with a purple flower or something at the waist.
This one was a great way to add sleeves to the stretchy ribbon crap bodices. Love the bow in back.
And these sleeves are so sweet. Very vintage, so not gonna work for this wedding, but {sigh}, I like.
Love the laced back. Bride says no.
Guess we will have to do that on one of our Other dresses ;0}
Don't ask me why this showed up under purple tutu dress, but I did pin this because I like the idea of the knots tied at the bottom. It looks like feathers almost. Just worth the bookmark for the idea.
This one is cute, lace over the tutu, but not going to work for this wedding.
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Not tutu enough, but wow.
I have to throw this one in there. As far as peacocks go, this dress is spot on. For a wedding...Just a bit wild for our taste.
I saved this one for last. I think we might do this. Our bride is a crazy, happy...don't know if I would say wild, but can say free spirit. This trail of color flowing down the train is just right for one of her flower girls. She isn't using the teal, just purple, gold and green, so we will modify the colors a tad, but then away we will go.
There are some VERY talented, artistic dressmakers out there. I have found inspiration in so many. Now to start stitching myself...
