Little Ballet Flats

Like so many of the elements of our wedding, we wanted to make sure that the flower girl dresses and shoes could easily be worn again. My mom and Mr. Peacock's mom are making the dresses in a pale pink silk shantung rather than white so that they might reappear at a birthday party or on class picture day. Trying to find a pattern was much more difficult than expected, but we came up with this Simplicity pattern. A few modifications, and it should be just right.


We are going with version F, the raspberry colored one, without the little flowers. How adorable is that outfit on the model. She looks like a little cupcake! Our flower girls and our junior bridesmaid will not be sporting the detached sleeves and hip wing things.

I wasn't all that concerned about the shoes until the moms asked for a little direction. I thought these Nine West ballet flats would be perfect. Comfortable, stylish and perfect for school. The bridesmaids and the bride are also wearing gold shoes, so they will fit in with the big girls.
And they come in a cute little bag! After they take their shoes out, they can pack in Barbie clothes and My Little Ponies to their hearts content.

Is anyone else making their flower girls dresses?
