Daffodil Dresses

James Baigrie

For a playful way to distinguish the flower girls' dresses from the bridesmaids', sew a premade ribbon flower to the skirt of each dress (preferably ones with little or no adornments); these store-bought daffodils are made of wired ribbon. Then form stems and leaves from 3/8- and 7/8-inch-wide green grosgrain ribbons.

Autumnal Flower Girl Basket

As a fitting nod to the season, substitute dried leaves for petals in your flower girl's basket. If fall foliage isn't abundant when you wed, you can order pressed leaves online.

We lined this pint-size basket with a cotton fabric. Using scissors, cut a large round of fabric and a slit on opposite sides to accommodate handles, then place in basket. Wrap silk ribbon around, and tie in a bow.
