FLOWER GIRLS
Naomi Adams, who is the
designer and pattern
maker at Damselfly,
shares her top five tips
f
for selecting the perfect
fl
flower girl frock.
1. Choose natural fibres such as silk & cotton;
avoid man-made fibres such as polyester or nylon, these
aren’t as breathable, and they can become hot and scratchy.

2. Choose a style that complements your dress;
you’ve spent so much time choosing your dress and
creating the style of your wedding so make sure the little
one’s dresses fit with this.
3. Mix and Match; why not mix and match dresses –
you can opt for dresses with a similar theme but choosing
slightly different styles will enable you to select dresses
that suit each girl and also having their “own” dress makes
them feel special.
4. Avoid the high street; if you’re reading Dotty
Magazine, then I’m quite sure you want your wedding to be
individual. Quite often the flower girls outfits is where this
comes unstuck.
5. Consider dresses with hand-worked detail;
They’re nice to keep as heirlooms for when your little
flower girl is older... even to pass on to future generations!
