Welcome to my new weekly series! I had really hoped to post this at 10:00 am not 11:00 pm, but the day got away from me and so here we are.
Today I want to talk about getting fancy. We all have those times that call for an extra special something, whether it be a wedding, birthday, or holiday. I absolutely love having a good excuse to dress my girls up, and its just my luck that my oldest LOVES to dress up. Anything that makes her feel like a princess goes. For Zoe the more sparkles, poof, and frill the better. If I just want the dress to be the star of the show I usually like to tone it down on the other accessories.
I for one don’t think that fancy dresses should be reserved for fancy occasions. Nothing warms my heart like going to the grocery store and seeing a little girl dressed to the nines. Now I’m not saying we should be out buying fancy dresses for every day wear, but if your little lady was a flower girl and had a fabulous dress why tuck that away in her closet? If she wants to wear it let her! If she wants to wear it with rain boots and sunglasses? Even better! I mean a person can only get away with that for so long before she stops looking adorable and starts looking crazy!
I have had the chance to work with Angela from Tutu Girl Boutique a few times and every time I do I just LOVE the finished product! She makes the most beautiful special occasion dresses. I wish I had known about her when I needed flower girl dresses for my wedding because she can basically customize anything you want, and these aren’t your run-of-the-mill dresses. The details are just perfect, the accessories she makes are made to match and are just the right touch.
I photographed these dresses for her to use on her website, but after revisiting these images I suddenly want to play around with the styling on them. Stay tuned for a whole new spin! Until next time lovely people 🙂
Liz Shelley - Such beautiful shots! I agree! I love seeing kids all dressed up with no where to go!!! Haha
