    Sequined Shoes for Flower Girls
    Put a spring in your flower girl's step by outlining her ballet flats with two rows of sequins. Choose a metallic shoe, like the pair shown here, and she'll be your best friend for life.
    Tights with Bows
    Keep little legs warm for a winter wedding with these embellished tights. Just sew pretty satin bows to the backs of her stockings for added cute points (score extra by matching the color of the ribbon to her shoes).
    Flower Girl Wands
    There's nothing more joyful than flower girls skipping down the aisle, bearing beribboned wands that flutter and fall. We wrapped a dowel in ribbon, thumbtacked on ribbons of various lengths, and finished off by gluing on confetti flowers. (To make the flowers, gather a bunch of the confetti petals together and start gluing.)

    Flower Girl Pinafore
    This adorable pinafore made out of table linens has a pocket to hold flower petals for sprinkling down the aisle. It is sure to make any flower girl feel special.

    Turn our designs into fabric by printing them onto iron-on transfer paper or sending them away to be made into cloth. To make these shoe clips, iron transfers onto cotton organdy, cut out, stack, and sew through the center. Fluff to create dimension.

    Flower Girl Dress and Basket
    A vintage striped linen-silk band makes a neat sash for the flower girl's simple white dress (from J. Crew). Wide satin ribbons tied around her feet at the arch dress up simple ballerina shoes (from Little Raggio), while a small fabric flower pinned to her hair continues the theme. Complete her outfit with a basic Nantucket basket that's spruced up with a ribbon fringe and handle-perfect for holding her petals.

    Autumnal Flower Girl Basket
    As a fitting nod to the season, substitute dried leaves for petals in your flower girl's basket. If fall foliage isn't abundant when you wed, you can order pressed leaves online (from Dry Nature). We lined this pint-size basket with a cotton fabric. Using scissors, cut a large round of fabric and a slit on opposite sides to accommodate handles, then place in basket. Wrap silk ribbon around, and tie in a bow.
