Black and White Flower Girl Dress
The Black and White Flower Girl Dress is a twist of formal classic and chic modern style. Traditionally, a black and white flower girl dress would be a full white satin gown with a fat black satin sash. The black and white flower girl dress was meant to be a perfect match to the brides gown and formal tuxedo. Black and White formal dress was originally an old English custom where white represented the innocent image fit for brides and children. The black and white flower girl dress has served as an accessory to a perfect modern wedding by serving as the background to any color one wishes to add to the wedding party.
The season plays a roll in the classic black and white formal affair. Winter is the most popular time for this classic theme. Parisian and Russian fashion in the 1940s had an elegant tradition of elaborate white wedding dresses with long white fur sleeves and collars. The flower girls would follow behind caring the bride's train dressed in matching white dresses with fat black satin sashes and black fur boots. This image became an icon of high fashion in Europe for a short time.
Fabric is a crucial element when dealing with bold colors meant create a strong visual contrast. Satin is the most common fabric when choosing black and white flower girl dresses. Most satins are a 'one tone fabric', this fabric holds a constant shade and luster in most lighting. This means when a group of flower girls are wearing the same shade of satin in a photo one won't stand out over another. This becomes very obvious in shade of white and black if the fabrics are mixed improperly. For example, if the bride wears a white silk wedding dress and the briesmaids and flower girl dresses are dressed in satin, the silk may look dull and dingy next to a bright popping white. Taffeta is a lusterous elegant fabric, however, most party taffetas are a 'two tone fabric'. Unless the photographer is a professional and knows the proper lighting, the flower girl dresses can stand out brighter than the bride if the girls dresses are reflecting the light at the right angle. This is wonderful for the mother of the flower girl, but a bride really does need to be the center of attention for her special day.
Of course, the black and white flower girl dress does not need to be restricted to the traditional structure of a white dress and plain sash. Nothing is more elegant than a dress with beautiful floral embroidery . A white dress with black trim makes a clean crisp style look feminine and fun. Another popular fun style is the black and white polka dotted flower girl dress . Whatever your choice, a black and white theme will always be top fashion no matter the time or place.

Cotillion = Debutante Ball
The dance known as Cotillion came from France in the 1700s and was originally made up of four couples in a square formation. This may be easily recognized in northern states as a "country dance" we recognise as square dances. The participants (especially those from royalty) gathered to introduce themselves and to flirt with other dancers through the exchange of partners within the formation network of the dance. Early US recognizes this in the likes of the traditional Virginia Reel Dance, the most common dance of a square dance gathering. By the 1800s, the Cotillion evolved into more couples with many complex dance figures and was the forerunner of the Quadrille. American square dance is a form of contredanse that also descended from the Cotillion. The direct translation from French to English of the word "Cotillion" is the word "petticoat' but the more appropriate translation is the word "ballgown."
A Debutante Ball is a formal presentation of young ladies, debutantes, to polite society. It is in use in the United States, more so in the South, and some other countries. Debutantes are usually recommended by a distinguished committee or sponsored by an established member of elite society. Modern debutante balls are often charity events; the parents of the debutante donate a certain amount of money to the designated cause, and the invited guests pay for their tickets. These balls may be elaborate formal affairs and involve not only "debs" but junior debutantes, escorts and ushers, flower girls and pages as well
In the United States, Cotillion has become training that children and young adults attend to learn manners and proper social behavior in the context of formal dance. The participants dress up in formal attire and some cotillions emphasize the use of white gloves. Modern day Cotillion takes the form of classes and parties. These programs use dance as an interactive tool that breaks down inhibitions and teaches important social skills. Some of the dances currently taught include waltz, fox trot, tango, swing, cha cha and many other ballroom dances. The parties are typically "graduation" parties usually held after a series of classes. At the party, the students sit together in tables in the front while the family members sit in tables in the back. A master of ceremony guides the evening and, if funds are sufficient, dinner and an orchestra may be included. Usually after each dance, a couple may be recognized with a modest prize for best executing that dance.
