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.

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.

During these hard economical times, we’re all looking for ways to save a little bit more money by cutting some ends. Planning a wedding is no exception.  While it may seem some places are raising their prices, at Pink Princess we’re cutting back prices and putting them in our “SALE” section of the web site, as well as offering free shipping AND free returns.

For other items, that seems to get costly after awhile, like headpieces, why not get creative and make your own? Most arts and crafts store have a standard head band that you can just glue colored plastic flowers of your choice. Or just get little girls plain headband, and wrap a colored ribbon on that as well. It’s fun, easy, and affordable.

To save even more money on shipping, it’s best to order more than one item at a time.  Most places now offer free Ground shipping when you order over a certain amount. Even if you don’t need one of the items until a later date, you’re assured you’ll have it in your hands by the time the event comes around.

There’s nothing wrong with hand-me-downs to save a little bit more money.  What’s the point of having a dress, worn once, and just hanging in the closet? Selling it at a yard sell, or someone else, is a great way to get rid of dresses no longer being worn, and gives you back some of the money you spent.  The other person can even get creative and add things onto it, or remove things from the dress, and make it look like a whole new dress.

It’s all about trying to save the most out of your money this year. By cutting a few unnecessary expenses and getting creative on the little things, you’ll be able to see the savings in your bank account without having to pinch your wallet.

New Trends For Wedding Party Gifts

Date: Tuesday December 30, 2008
Posted in: Wedding Party Gifts, Weddings

Children are the most precious people in this world. But let’s face it, when it comes to dressing them up in a dress or tuxedo, it’s not the easiest job. Trying to get a child to stand still for pictures, walk down the aisle, or stay clean up until the reception can be somewhat of a struggle. Especially if the child does not cooperate. For example, when my sister got married, her soon to be husband decided to put his 8 year old god-daughter as the flower girl. Turns out the little girl did not like wearing dresses, nor was she willing to practice walking down the aisle. That is, until her mom bribed her with taking her to Mc Donalds after the whole event was done.

There’s better ways to have a child cooperate I believe. Why not give them a gift as a “thank you,” for being in the wedding? Lately, I’ve noticed that this is what some brides do to keep the child happy and cheerful throughout the whole event. For instance, why not give them a shirt saying they’re part of the wedding party as well. Why should the grown ups get all the fun stuff? Little kids love to stand out and be center of attention. Giving them a “Flower Girl” shirt not only tells them what role they have, but it will make them feel more involved in the wedding. Or rather than just giving the flower girl a basket and petals, why not give her, her OWN hand bag that says “Flower Girl” on there?

Let’s not forget about the little men in the party. Giving them a ring bearer coloring book, will keep them entertained during the pre-wedding madness. Not only will they have pages to color, but also learn the names of the items that will be used during the ceremony. As cute as the ring bearer may look in his tuxedo, it might not always be the most comfortable thing for him during those summer weddings. Why not try something new? For example, instead of having him complain about wearing pants and a jacket in 90 degrees weather, dress him up in a Eton and Short set. Not only is it comfortable, but you won’t have to worry about him wanting to take the jacket off mid ceremony or have him crying because it’s too hot for him. Most of our styles come with a matching hat, to block the sun off their face for outdoor weddings. Not only is it affordable, but it’s also starting to become the new “it” thing for little men to wear.

Planning a wedding may be hectic and stressful, but let’s try to take some time out of that busy schedule to thank and appreciate the little helpers in the party as well. Just because it’s not their day to shine, doesn’t mean they can’t have the spotlight for that one minute in their lovely outfit.

With all the varieties of items to choose from, it’s no wonder why I loose track of what I’m intentionally browsing for. Shopping online can become a stressful and confusing experience.

This year’s Christmas shopping was one of those difficult online shopping experience for me. In the midst of deciding what to buy for a special someone and browsing through great gifts I’d like to receive myself, I completely forgot who that special someone even was!

Because of personal online shopping experiences like these, Pink Princess has created something really helpful for staying organized; take a look at Pink Princess’s new Flower Girl Checklist now available for printing online! It comes complete with sections for style numbers, color(s), size(s), and measurements. Planning and shopping just got easier!
