Daffodil Dresses
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.
