I thought i was all sorted. I had some beautiful flower girl dresses picked out from a local department store. They came with matching boleros, hair bands, socks, dolly bags and shoes. I went in to the store yesterday to pick them up and to my utter horror the boleros and other accessories are white as per the information on the website but when i put the bolero next to the dress it is actually ivory. How can items that are from the same manufacturer that are supposed to go together be 2 different colors. I am wearing white so i am looking for something in white for the girls too, preferably with matching long sleeved boleros/cardigans as we are having a November wedding and I don't want them to freeze. I am having sashes made to match the adult bridesmaids so either a dress without a sash that would look nice with one or a dress with an easy to remove sash is best. Dresses needed in 9 - 12 months, 15 - 18 months, 7 - 8 years. Any suggestions greatly appreciated x

monsoon really are pretty also look on the next website i think they have some cute flowergirl dresses
HI girls thanks for all the suggestions Our local next had nothing in at all, i'll have to find a bigger one i think cos they have a nice dress on line. Most wedding shops start at 2yrs which is the problem, my lil ones are 11 and 15 months and are there for cuteness and cuddles. the 15 month old will walk down the aisle holding her big brothers hand and the 11 month old and her Mam are doing the reading.
The dresses i had picked out were about £50 so had planned about £100 each to spend on the girls with shoes, tights, hair bands and cardigans/shrugs. If i find the right dresses i could stretch to £150 and their relevant mum's have offered to contribute/buy shoes and tights if i get stuck.

if you look at some of the dresses it says little sister option available. something to keep them warm would be good not sure if fur is a bright idea for toddlers tho, they may try and eat it, long sleeved boleros maybe? white preferably or black like mine could work. white shoes seem easy to find and they are too little for bags. the 11 month old is the baby of the family so i wanted her in the pics. 15 month old is my god daughter and extremely cute, she is walking with her big brother the ring bearer the 7 year old is our niece and will be the proper flower girl. They are all going to sit in the front row with my Mum who is already set with activity packs.

I am going to scream!!! Just went online to order the shoes i had chosen this morning to find they are no longer there in white, just ivory. Called customer services to find out if it was a glitch to be told the white shoes are discontinued and the last few pairs must have sold in the last 3 hours but no "low stock" warning had appeared this morning. ARGH, looks like i better go buy them hair bands now
