Dressing the younger girls!

We have two very fun girls who are going to be part of our special day. One is Matt's niece, Nicole. She is about to turn 9 and a Justin Bieber superfan. I really mean she is a super fanatic and total fashion diva. She is going to be a jr. bridesmaid mainly cause she is too young to be a bridesmaid (probably not if we lived in England) and in my opinion a little too old to be a flower girl. I wanted her to feel special and apart of the wedding so I decided to make her a jr. bridesmaid. Plus I wanted to ask my god-daughter to be our flower girl and she will be 3 1/2 at the time of the wedding so Nicole got promoted.

Our flower girl is also a fan of Justin Bieber (though I am not sure she totally knows who he is) she does know she likes him and that if she combs her carebears hair a certain way it looks like Justin Bieber (yes she really did say that). Harper loves to dress up and walk around the house in her dress up shoes. She is a little princess in the making. Harper is pretty much a fashion diva in the making so I think her and Nicole will get along pretty well.

Both of the girls' mothers will be in the wedding so I am hoping that will help on the big day when we are getting ready and when they have to walk down the aisle in front of so many people.


So we needed to find a dress for both girls and I wanted two things.

1. I wanted it to not be super expensive.

2. I wanted the dress to look age appropriate and make them look super cute.

So in my search for these dresses. I started with bridal shops but those prices seemed really high for a dress for a young girl who will definitely outgrow the dress in a year. I also didn't like a lot of the dresses I was seeing. I then found these two dresses.

This is going to be Nicole's dress.

and then this is Harper's dress (unless she outgrows this dress).






I think both dresses are extremely cute and even Matt agrees. I also think they will look great together and tie together my dress and the bridesmaid dresses. I can't wait to see them in their dresses and all dolled up for the big day. And both dresses we got for steals so nobody is going to be out too much money.
