Maybe it was one of Ernst Kreidolf's books? I found some pics on Google that somewhat fit your description. You can see one on his books here http://50watts.com/The-Dream-Garden
There is a short bio at the end of the book.
I meant a sort bio at the *bottom of the page
Thankyou so much for the link. Even though this is surprisingly similar to the one I am looking for, it's not it. But now I have a new book on my list!

Hello, I have some old books by Cicely Mary Barker, the ones I have are the fairies by season (Fairies of the Fall, etc.). The ones I have are poetry, but perhaps there is another of hers that includes a plot. The fairies are each specific to a tree or plant species, and they dress in coordination with their flower or tree. These were originally published in the 1920s so there may also be a derivative work by another author. Hope this helps!Cicely Mary Barker
Is it one of Elsa Beskow's works, maybe? I don't know any of the translated titles, but I read "Blomsterfesten i Täppan" as a child. I couldn't quite recognize the story line you mentioned, but it might be from one of her other books!

There were elaborate pencil-colour paintings of the fairies, they usually wore something to match their flower/tree.
There was some sort of storyline, about saving the fairies I think. In the end the child does not see them anymore.
I read this book in German, not sure if it was a translation.
If anybody can remember something, I would be so glad, since I loved the book, but it went missing.
