“Wait a minute,” you say. “Pearls for the flower girl? Isn’t that going a bit far? And what about the expense?” But if you’re looking to outfit your wedding day to the nth degree, pearls for that adorable little girl who will be scattering rose petals along your wedding aisle is just one more thing that will take your Big Day over the top and make it as memorable to others as it will be for you.
Real or Faux
Genuine pearls for the flower girl would be terrific and would also be that much more of a head-turner at any wedding! But in all actuality, you don’t have to purchase real, made-in-the-oyster pearls for your flower girl to give her that extra-special look. Tiny glass or crystal beads work just as well for a fraction of the cost.
And these are “pearls” your little honored friend can take home with her to cherish as a keepsake of the role she played in that all-important event. Fortunately, there are a wealth of online retailers specializing in wedding accoutrements where you can easily find flower girl pearls.
Wedding Accessories
Along with just about everything else you could want for a wedding, the folks at www.WeddingAccessories.net also feature flower girl jewelry. For only $23.40 you can bejewel your flower girl with pierced earrings, a mini white satin purse, and of course, a “pearl” necklace – this one set on a 12” to 14” adjustable, “illusion” wire necklace. You can select from white, ivory, and pink, plus you can have your flower girl’s name embroidered in pink on the purse as an added option for free.
Wedding Sparkles
The people at Wedding Sparkles (www.WeddingSparkles.com) offer troves of fabulous treasures in the way of children’s costume jewelry, including those incorporating faux pearls. Six pages of this site feature such pieces as the “pearl” necklace with the added highlight of a hanging dolphin, butterfly, heart, and other winning accents. Most of the pieces from this retailer come in sets that include adjustable finger rings, earrings, and the necklace. All are very reasonably priced, ranging from $12.95 to $20.
Bead Trends
One of the most charming necklaces we’ve seen that’s perfect for a princess-like flower girl can be found online at www.BeadTrends.com. It shows off dainty glass beads that each feature a tiny tea rose inside and are offset with teensy, genuine freshwater pearls. This can be purchased as either a necklace or bracelet, and it can also be accented with a tiny charm (heart, thin cross, Celtic cross) of your choice or with a birthstone dangle. At $49.95, this irresistible piece is a bargain.
These are just a few of the places you can find flower girl fancies that feature both real and faux pearls without leaving the comfort of your home. Just make your selection, pay with a credit card, and you’re done! And you’ll then have yet another of those little extra details covered that will make your wedding the event that everyone attending will remember for years to come!
