Summer is right around the corner which means Wedding Season.  Instead of having your flower girl complaining about having to wear a traditional flower girl dress that can be too long or too hot for her, why not try something new and go with a pettiskirt and start something new.  You won’t have to worry about getting the right size because majority come based on age, and have an elastic waistband.  It has layers of ruffles all around so you don’t need to worry about buying a petticoat for a fuller look.  All you really need to do is find the perfect leotard to match the pettiskirt.

If you don’t feel like having to find a leotard and pettiskirt, you can also try our Pink Princess Petticoat Dress that comes in infant and toddler sizes.  It’s the same concept of a pettiskirt, except the pettidress means the shirt is attached to the skirt.

Pettiskirts are perfect as flower girl tutus since the tulle skirt is lightweight and perfect for twirling all night in. They’re perfect to start something new and fun at weddings and leave your guests in awe.

A few months ago, Pink Princess had the opportunity to contribute a total of 28 party style dresses to the “8^th Annual Jazz in January” fund raising event, which included a special performance by Jonathan Butler and Rick Braun. This event is held annually with all the proceedings benefiting the Ocean Institute’s educational programs. This program is created to increase awareness and understanding of the ocean environment to over 100,000 students every year through science, maritime, and outdoor education.

Here are thank you letters from a couple of young children who had the opportunity to experience and benefit from this enriching program…

Letter number 1 reads:

“Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lacy,

Thank you so much for allowing me to visit the Ocean Institute at Dana Point. It was the first time many of us had seen the Pacific Ocean. We had so much fun looking at Shark’s teeth, and touching starfish and fish. We loved the Octopus and Big Al. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.

Love, Jordy”

Letter number 2 reads:

“Dear Ocean Institute,

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I loved learning about the Moon Jellies Life Cycle. I liked looking at the plankton on the Shore Lab. Out on the R/V sea Explorer I saw California Sea Lions, I also got to hear different dolphin and whale sounds. I learned all about the Moon Jellies Life Cycle I also learned how big and small they could be. This field trip inspired me to learn more about marine biology so I will do a lot better in school. Thanks again I loved the field trip and can’t wait to go back I had the time of my life!

Sincerely, Alyssa Macias”

It’s been a busy March so far. With so many First Communions, spring weddings, and Easter on the way, it’s no wonder everyone’s in demand for the cutest dress or the most adorable suit to get for their little one. This Saturday morning, we spent the whole time processing new inventory and getting them ready for this new season. Below are photos of some of the flower girl dresses and boys suits and tuxedos that have been tagged and ready to go. It’ll be a busy busy week to go, and I am ready!

My favorite style this month is D3160 the 3-Tier Chiffon Sequence Dress, in all 3 colors, Turquoise, Off-White and Yellow. It’s simple but with enough detail at the neckline to stand out. The chiffon makes the dress light and easy to walk around in.  Even if she’s not taking part in a special event, she can still wear this dress as a casual outfit.

Ever since I started working at Pink Princes my favorite style has been D1120, which is the Dotted Two Tone Shantung dress in pretty much every color. I like how it has enough detail at the top and a simple solid skirt. The rosebud at the waist gives it that extra dressed up look. I noticed parents tend to order the Red or Burgundy more in the Christmas season, but all the other 6 colors, Coral, Champagne, Lilac, Navy Blue, Olive and Pink are just as pretty for Easter, a Flower Girl, or as a special birthday dress.

With Communion time just around the corner, a lot of mothers are trying to find that perfect dress for their little princess to wear on this important day. Not only does it have to be affordable and appropriate to the moms.  It also has to be comfortable and beautiful enough for their daughter to wear.   And let’s be honest, a mother/daughter agreeing on the same fashion taste may not always be the easiest thing to do.   Especially since majority of churches have their own dress code guidelines.

I went to private school my whole life, and had a set uniform. When it came down to making my First Communion I was so excited because I thought I’d finally be able to wear something I like.  That wasn’t the case.  I was making it in the summer, June to be exact. For those of you who live in California, you know how hot it can get during that time. Unfortunately for the girls making it along with me, we were told we were not allowed to wear spaghetti strap, nor sleeveless dresses.  So there I was, in a long sleeve (with shoulder pads), pantyhose so that the crinoline wouldn’t itch my legs, poufy dress in the middle of June in 90 plus degree weather. It wasn’t exactly what I had pictured my special day to be.  I remember getting home from church and changing.

Young girls have many options now a days and churches are being reasonable and allowing girls to wear spaghetti strap dresses BUT with a shawl or bolero for the Mass part, which is understandable. They can pick from tea length to ankle length, sequins or embroidered, sleeveless or cap sleeved.  Majority of the Communion Dresses come with crinoline followed by smooth material that touches the leg instead of having to deal with the scratchy material on the legs.  It’s the detail on the dress that I think makes it stand out.  You can get a simple A-Line dress with just enough detail on the bodice to make it stand out like our style LSP947-WT.  Or go for a more extravagant look with our D3130-WT that has embroidery all around the dress.  If you really want your daughter to shine all night, then you’ll defiantly like our LSP927-WT which has rhinestone detail on the bodice.

With so many selections in Communion Dresses that we offer, we’re sure coming to an agreement on what you like and what your daughter wants, won’t be a hassle.

Who said pettiskirts were only made to wear under a dress? Now a days it looks like a hot trend is wearing a pettiskirt as a fun every day wear skirt. Not only are they fun and colorful but very practical. They come in various colors and you can dress it up or down. They’re not just for infants or toddlers. Young woman are wearing them under Homecoming dresses for extra volume and a more colorful look.

I have to admit when I first saw them, I wasn’t THE biggest fan. Once you see them on and with the right flower girl accessories, they don’t look bad. I’ve seen girls wear them with black tights and heels and it looks fun and comfortable.  Toddlers look adorable in them. It’s an every day “princess outfit” for them.  They’re great for dressing up a regular t-shirt or to wear and twirl in for ballet class.

They’re fun, easy to maintain, and practical. There’s no need to take it to the dry cleaners or go thru the hassle of ironing it. They’re hand washable and the more crinkled it gets, the fuller it looks. Majority come based on age so you don’t have to worry about taking any type of measurements, and with an elastic waist, they’ll have enough room to grow into. They’re mainly made of floating chiffon and ruffles that go on forever. Some of them even come with a ribbon at the waist for extra detail.  They come in various colors and styles. They even have a full body petticoat dress like our style SP554, just in case you can’t find a shirt, this one already has it attached to the skirt.

Many brides are starting to use them as flower girl dresses because there’s no need to add a petticoat like you would to a “regular” flower girl dress. They’re easier to mix and match with the bridal parties colors, or you can get one with petals already inside the skirt, like our style SP110 on pinkprincess.com.

They make great gifts for girls of all ages or for your own princess to wear in any occasion. You’re sure to find the color/colors you’re looking for. Pettiskirts are all about having fun, and with 40 yards of fluffy chiffon, you can be assured you’re princess will have the time of her life twirling and playing in hers.

All about the flower girls, get the 411 on everything behind a flower girl. Why choose flower girls? How many flower girls? Choosing a flower girl on the average it is a young girl between ages 4 and 8, whom looks up to you, and have a great bond with each other. Flower girls are symbolized as purity and blessings in weddings as the history of flowers girls have shown us, traditionally most meanings behind a flower girl has not changed much in the past decades nor eras. However what has changed is the many styles and fabrics of the dresses. Where fabric meets fashion, you will be able to find the perfect material for that perfect dress. With hundreds of material out there and different cuts you can find any look you want, maybe a simple silk A-line long length dress or a fabulous organza empire waist embellished with sequins tea-length dress? There are lots of selections to choose from and you can narrow down the search by season, colors, and cuts. Just take a look on what’s out there.

Flower girl dresses follow grown-up fashion while still maintaining that “little princess” look. Yet there are no hard and fast rules about choosing the perfect dress. The magic happens when the gown is a perfect match for the mood and the moment.

The dresses can follow the lead of the bride or the bridesmaids. They may imitate the style of the bridal gown. Their free, flowing fabrics will frequently match the bridesmaid dresses.

A flash of color or a fragrant touch, however, can make an unique fashion statement. Satin sashes and silk flowers can take dresses to new fashion heights. Both can borrow color inspiration from the gowns and flowers of the bridal party.

A flower girl can wear a vibrant red sash to complement the bride’s bouquet of roses. An adorable aqua sash can adorn a dress of ivory satin. A pink silk flower may match the rose blush of a bridesmaid’s corsage.

A classic color scheme can be updated to a contemporary fun look. A splash of bright color will introduce an element of whimsy. A mysterious navy turns magical when paired with a luscious lemon.

Sashes and flowers can add a whole new dimension of design. Detachable flowers place beauty at the waist or near the neckline. Pretty bows can be fashioned to fall down the back or front of dresses. If a bride has a flowing train, the little ones can also have a longer sash.

Wedding apparel retailers have noticed that customers prefer customized choices. Some businesses are providing an innovative option with “create a dress” opportunities. One online retailer, offers Create Your Dress for little princesses.

Anyone can create unique and perfect flower girl dresses for the perfect wedding. Customers can choose from different dress styles. The dresses are available in a wide array of beautiful colors.

Everyone can find the “special” touches to make it easy to create that “special” dress. Stylish sashes swirl about in splendid shades. Bold color sashes can brighten up a dress. Pale pink sashes bring “pink princess” hues to perfection.

The perfect flower girl dress is only limited by your imagination. “Off the rack” dresses – though pretty – are no longer the only option. Every “little princess” can afford the luxury of having an unique dress!
