Tutus for the Flower girls!

      So I am jumping on the band wagon of Flower girls in tutus!  I love how adorable little girls look in tutus and I know how to make them so I figured why not? Now here is where the trouble came in.... I was talking to my flower girls (AKA my daughters) and told them they get to wear tutus for the wedding they were very excited but were not too happy with my choice of white. I was thinking of tutus like this pretty white and long. But my stubborn little girls think that tutus mean PINK!
     I admit every tutu I have made the girls up to this point has had pink in them (I still haven't gotten around to making their Oregon Ducks tutus yet even though I have the tulle...) So it is partly my fault... But I want the girls in white so I made a deal with the girls. They will wear the long white tutus for the wedding BUT they get short hot pink ones for the reception. It took a little while to convince the Mr. That this was a good idea BUT I told him the girls will be able to move around and have more fun in the short ones. Plus what girl does not love a wardrobe change? 

     So I have already made the hot pink ones! (Slacking a little bit on making the white ones) But I thought I would share pictures of my little girls reception tutus! They are shorter than the white ones are going to be and SUPER FLUFFY! Each tutu has 100 yards of tulle that is one super tutu! These things could pretty much stand on their own they have so much tulle. When I had the little ones try them on  they were beyond excited and kept on commenting on how they were just like ballerinas! 
     If you haven't noticed the adorable hangers I have the tutus on here is a closer look! Yep they say flower girl on them how adorable is that! I was not sure how the tutus would look on the hangers so I almost didn't even order them for my daughters but I am so glad that I did! I can not take credit for the hangers though I got those from WishUponStarfish! I seriously can not say enough times how AMAZING her products are! If you are in the market for personalized hangers her shop is seriously a no brainier! 

     What do you think of a flower girl outfit change? And if you are planning your wedding (or already married) what will/did your flower girls wear?

Meet the Flower Girls!


(Picture by picture me)
      One think I knew for sure when starting the wedding planning is my two little girls would be my flower girls!
    I knew that I would have to include them in the day some how and Flower girl would be the perfect idea!
    Now to let you know a little bit about them we will first start with Ellie!


(Picture by Picture me)
      Ellie is the older one of the two (the one laying on the ground) He real name is Elizabeth but we think she is more of a Ellie then a Elizabeth. She just turned 4 June 2011 and had a really fun Dora birthday party (Dora is kinda a big deal at our place!) She is a complete girly girl she loves dressing up and has the little model attitude! You can tell in the picture to the right. Now that me and her daddy are planning our wedding she thinks she gets to plan her wedding too! She has started to pick out everything! When ever i start to look at wedding dresses/cake/flowers well anything wedding related she is very quick to let me know what she will be having at her wedding! oh and she has even found her groom. (but i will make a "Ellie's wedding" post another day)


(Picture by Picture me)
      Now its time to talk about Emma. She is a DRAMA QUEEN. She will eat just about anything (one of her favorite snacks my eyeshadow) Daddy calls her tank. She loves Dora also as i said earlier Dora is a big deal here. But her favorite thing ever is Care Bears! We watch a Care Bear movie at least once a day. To be honest its getting really old... She is a lot like her sister in many ways but there is one thing that sets them apart SO MUCH. Emma hardly ever gets hurt she will fall hit her head and then just get right back up. Like nothing ever happened!
    I have to admit I am one of those moms who thinks my kids are the cutest in the whole world.
   Do you have kids? And if you do how are you planning on including them in the wedding?
