If you’ve been keeping up, you know my brother’s wedding was last weekend. I’m going to split it up into a few posts, beginning with my daughter. I made her outfit for her. She was the one and only flower girl, and she did a great job! To get her to go down the aisle, I said, “Go find grandpa” and off she went. She zoomed past all the others in front of her. It was so cute. Anyways, I made it just like they make the tulle skirts (great tutorial here on Grosgrain), but I made the strips longer, since it was a dress. I also just used tulle that you buy on a roll in the wedding section at the craft store. It takes a lot less time to cut. I tied to pieces of ribbon to the front sides so I could tie it around her neck and create a halter. This helped it stay up really good. Then, I glued some flowers onto the very front.

I made flower shoe covers for her too, like the yellow ones posted here. I glued flowers onto a headband to top it all off.
