Winter weddings are just as popular as a summer celebration. Why not capture the holiday in a simple classic style with Christmas themed flower girls. The right color and fabric is essential for an elegant look without making your child attendants to look like elves in the toy factory. Fabrics bring out texture and feeling that will be captured in photos forever. Colors certainly can tip off what decade in which the photos took place. Your goal is to create a timeless impression of happiness and festivity.
The first Christmas fabric that comes to mind is velvet. Crushed velvet is a lavish heavy material used excessively through out the early 80’s. So much so, that when one pulls out the family album and sees Christmas portraits filled with red crushed velvet, one immediately thinks of the ghost of Christmas past. Velvet, however, is nothing to be afraid of if used properly. The change in fashion has braced two toned party taffeta with love and so do we. Taffeta is a lustrous material which creates a fullness in beautiful seasonal colors. The beautiful part is that taffeta fits well with velvet. So, bolero jackets, muffs, and trim can be made out of velvet to create a warm holiday texture. Another advantage to taffeta is its glorious reflection of light in contrast to the tendency velvet has to absorb light and dull down the image. Glimmering taffeta will illuminate your subjects like angels.
Another fabulous fabric is brocade. This can give the illusion of a finely woven tapestry texture. Not only is it lavish and royal, but it appears warm and works perfectly for winter occasions. Dresses made with gold brocade are new on the line for 2008 winter fashion. The beautiful thing about this fabric is that although it appears heavy, it can be lightweight and easy to wear. It is also durable and sturdy enough to hold up during child play.
Next, your color selection is important. Yes, we all know red, pine green, and white are the main holiday schemes. Christmas dresses, however, come in a variety of colors that can sparkle together like multi colored balls on a tree. Silver and gold are, of course another set of obvious shades. However, silver, white, and blue are a popular combination. Green and white and peach also compliment each other subtly. Colors set in trios can blend well with holiday festivities without doing the red and green overkill. Sage and pink also blend quite perfectly while allowing almost any other colors to be added. Don’t limit yourself to traditional colors.
Another classic avenue is the black and white ball theme. During the nineteenth century it became popular for Parisian weddings to be entirely adorned in black and white color schemes during the winter months. The rest of Europe soon followed with Paris being the capitol of fashion. Black and white themes to this day are magical and aristocratic. Of course, how beautiful is a black and white social event decorated in silver bells or gold garland.
Flower girl dresses must be the perfect accessory to the bride’s dress. The flower girls should look like little bells ringing in the wedding announcements as they toll down the aisle one by one or hand in hand. One important bonus to the Christmas flower girl dress is of course it can be worn for all her holiday special occasions.
Remember her little attendants will be captured in her wedding pictures like cherubs in a painting. Her winter wonderland wedding has so many avenues for creativity. There is no reason not to use fresh colors, new styles, and combinations that capture the happiness of the day.
