Get the Most Out of a Girl’s Party Dress—How to Recycle a Party Dress for Multiple Events

For that special summer event, you want your girl to have a beautiful dress that fills her with joy and confidence. However, you also know that girls’ party dresses are often far too expensive while limited in their usefulness. If you are about to invest in a special-occasion dress, you may be surprised to learn that the latest trends in girls’ party dresses include styles that are convertible to multiple environments. Before you spend a lot of money on a one-time-use dress, discover why even girls’ party dresses embrace the current trend of a ‘mix and match” philosophy that even the most posh fashionistas flaunt.

The Duchess Kate Middleton is perhaps the singularly-most watched style celebrity, and even she demonstrates that her wardrobe is not a “one-time-use” affair. She cleverly reuses items in new and inventive ways. Your girl’s summer party dress can easily convert into a perfect fall frock with the right bolero or sweater. Kids outgrow clothes quickly, but well-selected dresses can certainly last through multiple seasons. Special-occasion dresses don’t need to be cheap articles that are more for show than longevity or comfort. When you shop carefully, and stay on top of industry insight rather than trends, you can make your girl’s dress last much longer than a one-occasion affair. If you employ a little creativity, the right dress selection can go from a party, to church, to a wedding, and finally to a fun family reunion. At Elite Dresses, we help our clients by providing the best variety of all-occasion party dresses for girls. Make the most of your investment and check out our weekly sales for even more inspiration. Let your little girl shine, whenever and wherever.

Flower Girl Reception Ideas

The Best Wedding Receptions—Ideas to Incorporate Your Flower Girl and Other Child Guests

Once the formal wedding is over, your reception is the chance for your guests to kick back, relax, and enjoy celebrating your marriage with frivolity and fun. While you adult guests have plenty of food, music, dancing, and drinks to entertain, what about your flower girl and other young ones? With a little creativity and a lot of good cheer, you can help make your wedding fun for each and every guest. Here are some ideas for incorporating kids into your wedding reception:

• Creative kids tables—When people leave your reception, they won’t remember the centerpieces or song list. They will remember experiences. Pinterest is full of crafty, fun kids’ tables. Whether you go with sedate printables or full-on crafts, your little guests will end up being a highlight of the night, and not a later, not-in-a-good-way talking point.

• Kids’ dance—If you envision a fun night of dancing for your guests, plan on at least some special kids-oriented dancing. Depending on your schedule, this could be a few songs early on, or one song each during specified time brackets. Not only will this give kids something to look forward to, but the photo opportunities will also be priceless.

 

•  Kid-friendly food—Children are notoriously picky, and you will gain praise from both your little guests and their parents if you have something on the menu that is appealing to younger palettes.

 

• Above and beyond—If you are hosting a large contingent of children, you may want to consider a special “Kids’ Room” for your reception.  Armed with activities and entertainment, this room can be an out-of-sight space for them to let loose. However, if you go this route, you should remember that supervision is essential. Whether you get family volunteer or provide qualified sitters, you need to place safety and supervision above all else.

At Elite Dresses, we know that your wedding is special, and we want to give you the tools, tips, and perfect attire to satisfy both your flower girls and all of your young participants. Check out this week’s sale, and start planning the most memorable reception your friends have ever seen!

Flower Girl Mom or Caregiver—Tips for getting their help

 


















  

Flower Girl Etiquette—Why Her Caregiver Deserves Consideration

You want your wedding day to go off without a hitch, and while you have a lot on your plate, you can’t forget the people that make your special day possible. Your flower girl adds an adorable and memorable component to your day, but in the flurry of wedding planning and execution, how can you make sure that she isn’t lost in the shuffle? Whether your flower girl is an adorable niece or a distant family friend, her mom or caregiver is your best resource for setting her up for success. When planning your wedding, you need to establish a good relationship with her caregiver to ensure that your flower girl will have a good experience.

Why is Your Flower Girl’s Caregiver Important?

• You are asking a lot of them—You may think that your selected flower girl is overjoyed at the prospect, but her caregiver has just been given a big responsibility. He or she is now tasked with paying for a significant expensive, one-time-use dress, showing up to multiple events, and stressing out over ways to make that little angel behave and perform.

• They are essential to your flower girl’s participation—From helping her learn what is expected, to getting her ready, your flower girl’s caregiver is her ultimate source of information and support. Your need to communicate with this person courteously and effectively at all times, and always make sure that you give your flower girl’s needs consideration.

• They are can be a great asset—If the caregiver is not in the wedding, you still know that he or she will be another present person at multiple events. You may be able to utilize this to help in other areas. Just be sure that you approach this possibility with ultimate caution and ultimate courtesy.

After your wedding, remember that your flower girl’s caregivers deserve equal thanks and acknowledgement. They were an unseen hand that created your picture-perfect moments, and you should treat them as such.

What You Need to Consider When Selecting Flower Girl Dresses for Summer Weddings

As you plan your summer wedding, every detail is a reflection of your personality. From the decorations to the bridesmaids’ dresses, each element should come together into a cohesive design. However, as you make your selections, you also need to be practical about the season, and select things that will actually work in reality, not just in your vision. In terms of both the bridesmaids and flower girl dresses, you have to look past color and style, and consider how both the dress and the wearer will hold up in real-world conditions. Here are some tips for selecting the best dresses for the season:

• Pay attention to the materials—That beautiful dress you love may be sleeveless, but its velvet skirt will have your poor flower girl breaking out in a heat rash before you snap the first picture. You need to look past the cut and design of a dress, and consider how the materials will affect the comfort of your wedding party during this warm season. Flowers girls are especially sensitive to heat discomfort, and you may end up with a tantrum that was completely avoidable.

• Be realistic—We know what you’re thinking…your wedding is indoors, so the dress style and material shouldn’t matter. However, your wedding party will still be exposed to the elements as they travel to and from venues, and may quickly sweat through a poorly-chosen dress. Furthermore, even air-conditioned venues heat up quickly when you add a large crowd, so a breathable, comfortable dress will keep everyone, especially your flower girl, cool and happy.

• Give your flower girl equal consideration—Some brides give plenty of time and consideration to their bridesmaids’ dress comfort, yet then select a flower girl dress solely on appearance. Don’t treat your flower girl like an accessory; she deserves to have a dress that is seasonally appropriate.

• Throw convention into the wind—Summer is a time for all colors. You aren’t bound by any seasonal palette, so select the colors that mean the most to you.

• Just remember, when selecting any apparel for a summer wedding, you always want to factor in how your selections will hold up to real-world conditions. When you balance your vision with reality, you will end up with the beautiful and stress-free wedding.
