Picking Ivory Flower Girl Dresses on dressv.com

When people think about ivory, they may think about pure and kind, which is also the represent for the image of a flower girl. In the middle ages, many people were poor and did not practice good hygiene. Many people only bathed once a year, and the use of floral sachets to cover body odor was routine. During a special occasion like a wedding, the young girls would spread the fragrant petals of roses, lilac and other strongly scented flowers on the ground. As the petals were crushed by people walking upon them, they would release their powerful aroma, leaving behind a pleasant scent that was far more preferable to the natural odors of the guests and participants.
The Victorian era ushered in many changes that you will still see today. With an emphasis on romance, the Victorians began dressing the flower girls in gowns to match the bride. The use of garlands of flowers encircling their hair became fashionable during this time, as well as the use more ornamental flowers throughout the ceremony. Satin sashes and sweet romantic touches adorned the flower girl, who in turn brought good luck and joy to the bride and groom. This tradition remains today.
Most cultures have incorporated the use of flower girls in one way or another. Many traditions call for the flower girl to wear a white dress as a beacon of purity and innocence.  Some cultures prefer brighter, more robust prints as a sign of growth and bright, new beginnings. The one common factor is they all carry or wear flowers. In the western culture, we have become accustomed to the ritual of tossing flower petals on the path of the bride. Elsewhere, the flower girl may wear a ring of flowers in her hair or as a garland around her neck.
