I receive many frantic calls from brides-to-be who have not yet picked out a flower girl dress, despite a calendar rapidly approaching their special occasion. Sometimes the call is from a frantic mother who was bestowed the "honor" of picking out the flower girl dress, having just learned that her daughter was a late addition to the wedding party. I have even received an email from a concerned grandmother trying to outfit her grandsons for a family wedding party held on a beach. As finding the right clothes for the youngest members of the wedding party is often a complicated assignment, I have tried to simplify this task by preparing this guide.

How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it. - George Elliston
We had shopped for hours, my mom and I, and we were having a ball. We knew in our hearts that we would find just the right dress. Five months remained until the wedding; we had plenty of time; we had lots of patience. And then we found it-at J.C. Penney's Bridal Shop.
I remember standing on a dark blue-carpeted platform, surrounded by mirrors. The clerk brought gown after gown for me to try. I felt like a queen, admired by my mom perched in a cozy, overstuffed chair. As soon as she zipped the back of the third dress, we both knew we had found the one.
