Flower Girl and Ring Bearer

Photos by Youkeun Oh Photography

FYI, we never asked him to pose like that. He's just a natural!

One of the most fun things for me when planning the wedding was planning ensemble for the ring bearer and flower girl. 

I knew from the beginning that I wanted my niece to wear a super poofy tulle tutu type dress. I found several I liked on Etsy, and my sister and I settled on this number.  It has a gray hand crocheted (is there any other type of crochet?) bodice and a tulle skirt complete with a yellow crocheted flower at the waistline. 

I asked our florist to make her a posy of feverfew and craspedia tied with a fun ribbon. Because she is such a tiny thing, I knew something like a pomander bouquet would be much to heavy for her. I was so pleased with how her posy came out. I wanted to die at how cute it was!!!

Her shoes were silver sparkly Toms and she completed her look with a yellow hairband.

Do you see that the florist tied the posy with a ribbon of daisies? So cute. I die.

As for the ring bearer, being that the wedding was going to be in the middle of summer, I wanted my nephew to be comfortable. I found these grey seersucker shorts from JCrew, and they were perfection. Complete with a white button up shirt, and a yellow tie from Etsy, he looked a little preppy but had some personality! I'm sure the bleached faux hawk also had a little to do with that. I gave him a choice of shoes--white or gray low top Converse sneakers or Sperry Topsiders sans socks. (or ankle socks) I'm not sure what brand his shoes ended up being, but I loved the look.

As for his pillow, I kind of pulled it all together with scraps, buttons, and trimmings, I had here and there leftover from previous projects.  I loved how rustic it turned out :)

This photo, obviously, is not by our photographer, but by my cell phone. On my bed. hahaha

Everything about the flower girl and ring bearer came together so beautifully! It probably doesn't hurt that they are also the two cutest kids in the world! :D
