A Big Day Dress Code for Little Ones

Kids bring a little sunshine to every wedding. Whether it’s a straightforward niece or nephew family photo or an important wedding role, kids add an undeniably cute innocence to weddings. 

Kids in weddings charm everyone with their adorable roles as junior bridesmaids, groomsmen, readers, escort of the bride, usher, flower girl, ring-bearer, or bouquet holder. But they can bring an element of unpredictability, too. Accommodating their wedding day style in order to keep them happy, relaxed and cooperative is something we've found to help. No easy task, right? Worry not because we have some great kids outfit ideas we’ve found along the way that will keep them cool, calm, and cute throughout the day.

Easy Going:
Don’t worry about fancy options. Consider keeping it simple and comfortable in jeans and Converse sneakers, or let them go barefoot even. Let them run free.

Matchy Matchy:
Outfits for the girls echoing the bride or bridesmaids dresses are adorable. Sharing subtle details like lace, dress material or color is a clever yet distinct option that photographs well. It get’s kids excited, too, to be wearing something special.

Flower Crowns:
Flower crowns are perfect for little girls. Have your girls match or compliment the bridesmaids’ bouquets in a beautiful crown. We love when the bridesmaids and bride forgo flower crowns and let the little ones have this special distinction. Sweet and whimsical!

Grown-up Details:
We love our little guys in grown-up details like tiny bowties, striped jackets, blazers, and suspenders. Awe-worthy and special!

Sparkly Sequins:
Sequins look fabulously fashionable. These sparkly eye-catching details won’t let you avert your gaze at any time. Consider it playing dress up.

Boutonnieres:
If the budget allows, don’t forget a boutonniere for your ring bearer. After all, it’s the little details that make a statement.
 
In the end, you (or a close family member) know the little ones best, so do a little research on their likes and dislikes. Take into account what some of their preferences might be at the time to keep them comfortable and excited. There are a lot of great options that photograph well!
