District Weddings

I wanted to answer a few more questions before jumping into today’s feature…

From Lindsey…

My wedding is in Costa Rica, but I’m planning it from the DC area.  I am having a new dilemma with what I should have my 13 and 10 year old cousins wear. The 13 year old is going to pass out fans on the beach, and the 10 year old is going to drop orchids along the walk way, although she does not wan to be called a “flower girl”. The bridesmaids are wearing alternating colors between clover green and a mango pink. Any ideas?

A wedding in Costa Rica — how fun!  You may be sensing that the 10-year-old doesn’t want to be called “flower girl” because she feels too old for the title.  You could consider calling them both “junior bridesmaids” to alleviate her concern.  Even though she’s dropping orchids along the aisle, she can still be called a “junior bridesmaid” for the sake of the title.

These two little ladies don’t need to perfectly match the bridesmaids, but it would look very nice to coordinate their dresses with the rest of the wedding party.  Since you have already chosen mango pink and green, I think a nice shade of eggplant, salmon, or even a lemon yellow, would complement your color palette, depending on the exact shade of the bridesmaids’ dresses.  These lovely dresses are from the Juniors department of Bloomingdale’s (girls sizes 7-16)…

Bloomingdale’s is located in both Chevy Chase, MD and Tysons Corner, VA.

A few other ideas from Nordstrom…
