A Flower Girl Dress That Photographs as Well as It Looks
Finding a flower girl dress in the UK that looks as good in real life as it does in wedding photos is harder than it sounds. Many dresses look flat on the day, while others photograph well but are too stiff or uncomfortable for a child to wear for hours. The Celestia Dress was designed to get both right.
The bodice is made from flower-pattern lace with a soft inner lining so it sits comfortably against the skin. The full-length skirt is a ball gown shape built from multiple layers of tulle, cotton and satin, giving it volume that holds its shape all day without needing anything underneath. At the waist, a sparkly diamante crystal brooch catches the light and lifts the whole look without being overdone for a child.
From behind, the lace wraps into a V-shaped open back design that is just as striking as the front. At a wedding, the moment a flower girl walks back up the aisle is one of the most photographed. This dress delivers from every angle.

Flower Lace Bodice
Patterned lace runs from the front neckline to the V-shaped open back, with a soft lining underneath for all-day comfort.
Diamante Waist Brooch
A crystal cluster brooch sits at the high waist, adding a touch of sparkle that reads beautifully in photos.
Layered Tulle Skirt
Multi-layer tulle over cotton and satin creates a full, rounded ball gown shape. No petticoat needed, though one can be added for extra volume.

Perfect For
This is one of the most popular dresses in our girls special occasion wear collection. The combination of lace, layered tulle and a sparkly brooch gives it a genuinely formal feel without looking overdone for a child. It works equally well as a white flower girl dress for a wedding, a first communion dress, or for a professional photoshoot where the dress needs to carry the look entirely.

Colour Options
The Celestia Dress comes in three colours. White is the classic choice for a traditional wedding or first communion. Ivory adds a softer, warmer tone that works well outdoors or against wooden and floral backdrops. Beige suits rustic or bohemian wedding themes.
Screen colours may vary slightly from the actual product due to monitor settings. If you are unsure between white and ivory, please contact us before ordering.
How to Style The Celestia Dress
The dress holds up well on its own, but the right accessories pull the whole look together for a wedding or photoshoot.
Shoes: Keep footwear light and classic. Flower ballerina shoes are a natural match for this style, and patent leather Mary Janes suit a more formal occasion. Stick to white, ivory, silver or nude to keep the palette clean.
Hair: A floral crown or wreath complements the round neckline and keeps the top of the look open and fresh. An air cushion brush makes styling much easier on the morning of the wedding.
Extra volume: The skirt has built-in cotton, tulle and satin underlining, so most find it full enough on its own. For a grander silhouette at a cathedral or ballroom wedding, our tulle petticoat underskirt or hoop underskirt can be added underneath.
Colder weather: A lace bolero jacket in white or ivory is the most natural choice for autumn and winter weddings. It adds warmth without hiding the lace bodice or the brooch at the front.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this dress need a petticoat or underskirt?
No. The skirt is already layered with cotton, tulle and satin underlining, giving it a full, rounded shape on its own. Most parents find it does not need anything extra underneath. A petticoat or hoop underskirt can be added for an even grander silhouette, but it is completely optional.
Is this dress suitable for a winter wedding?
Yes. The dress is designed for all seasons. For colder months, pairing it with a lace bolero jacket in white or ivory keeps her warm without hiding the front detail. The bolero jacket is available separately in our store.
How do I choose the right size?
Always measure chest, waist and hips and compare them to the size guide table above. Do not rely on age alone as children of the same age vary considerably in size. If she falls between two sizes, order the larger one. Contact us before placing your order if you are still unsure.
Can I get this dress in ivory or beige?
Yes. The Celestia Dress is available in white, ivory and beige. Select your preferred colour when you add the dress to your basket. Ivory and beige work particularly well for outdoor, rustic or bohemian wedding settings.
Is there a lining inside the lace bodice?
Yes. The lace bodice has a soft inner lining so it does not scratch or irritate the skin. The tulle skirt also sits over a multi-layer cotton and satin underlining, making it comfortable to wear directly against the skin for several hours.
Is this dress suitable for older girls or teenagers?
The dress goes up to age 14, and the larger sizes are also suitable for older girls and teens. Please compare measurements carefully to the size table above before ordering. Contact us if you would like help deciding.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is between 5 and 20 working days. Free UK delivery applies to orders over £13. If you have a wedding or event coming up, we always recommend ordering as early as possible to allow plenty of time for delivery and fitting.
What is the returns policy?
