Who’s a Good Flower Girl?

Floral collars add an elegant touch and are a great way to tie in your wedding colors. Best of all, they can easily be created DIY style if you prefer to make something yourself. You can even add a matching leash to complete the look.

Elevated Everyday Wear

If your little one isn’t keen on wearing an entire outfit, consider replacing their collar with a bow tie or getting a bow that can be added to their collar. This is an easy way to elevate their look, and they won’t even know the difference!
