They may not make it down the aisle or toss the petals, but they sure are cute, and fun to style for weddings! Today, we’re showing different ways to accessorize and style the littlest members of your wedding party..  Flower crowns for the girls still reign supreme, and when they turn out full and lush like above you can see why.

For a wedding featuring butterflies, items from the craft store are turned into a whimsical headband. Fabric used in the wedding decor was used to create the ring bearer pillow with a butterfly accent.

This little cutie carries a wooden peach basket with wedding blooms affixed to it- tie some of your favorite ribbon to opposing corners and it becomes a petal basket, SO EASY. You can paint any color to match if needed too. A store bought headband becomes a flower crown when matching petals are glued. This is a trick we do often when we have smaller girls not knowing what will fit their heads…

For this beach themed wedding, the flower girl carried a basket (from the local craft store) that overflowed with flowers- more for decoration than for tossing. A store bought headband was transformed with local shells.

For a glowing golf fall wedding, craft baskets were painted gold and painted leaves and fresh flowers adorned the handles. Store bought headbands are painted gold and receive a fresh bloom becoming “designer” creations.

A floral covered oasis brick with a ribbon handle becomes a “bouquet” this little girl couldn’t have been more proud to carry!

For a woodland themed fall affair, miniature birdnests with moss “pillows” are a precious way to carry the rings.

Finding unique and beautiful clothing for the children in weddings has always been a bit of a challenge for our brides. I found a local gal that I couldn’t keep a secret anymore, her stuff is beautiful and all handmade. I had her make my sweet Lila an easter dress (it had to be pink of course).

Beth Garrett of Beth Garrett Designs grew up the granddaughter of a seamstress.  Her grandmother taught Beth to sew without a pattern and taught her all types of needlework.  Her love of finding a way to put her own creations together led Beth to become a mechanical engineer.  After she graduated from Vanderbilt and her college friends started to have babies, she wanted to make beautiful daygowns and gifts, but had difficulty finding what she wanted.  So, she created her own.  She learned to smock and sew in the style of French handsewing.  Over the years, the clothing that Beth made for her own children was noticed and her friends started to ask for heirlooms for their children.  She loves to positive attention that comes to children wearing beautiful and unique clothing.  Beth enjoys making classic, beautiful clothes that will be worn for generations.
