Flower Girl Flowers

Planning the flowers for a flower girl can be a delightful part of preparing for a wedding. There are a variety of options and traditions to consider, depending on the theme and formality of the event. Here are some ideas for flower girl flowers:

Flower Girl Bouquets

• Mini Bouquets: These are smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, often featuring the same flowers and color scheme.
• Single Stem: Sometimes a single, large bloom is given to the flower girl to carry, such as a sunflower, peony, or rose.

Flower Baskets

• Petal Baskets: Traditional flower girls carry baskets filled with flower petals to scatter down the aisle. Rose petals are the most common choice, but you can also use lavender, hydrangea, or a mix of different petals.
• Decorated Baskets: The baskets themselves can be decorated with ribbons, lace, or small flowers to match the wedding decor.

Flower Crowns

• Floral Wreaths: A wreath of flowers and greenery can be worn as a crown, giving a whimsical, fairy-tale look. Baby’s breath, daisies, and small roses are popular choices.
• Headbands: For a simpler look, a headband adorned with flowers can be a good choice, and it’s often easier for young children to wear.

Pomanders

• Flower Balls: Also known as kissing balls, these are spherical arrangements of flowers hanging from a ribbon. They can be carried or hung from the wrist.

Floral Accessories

• Corsages: Smaller corsages worn on the wrist or pinned to the dress can be a nice touch.
• Floral Sashes: A sash decorated with flowers can be tied around the flower girl’s waist.
• Anklets or Bracelets: Tiny floral anklets or bracelets add a sweet, unique touch.

Choosing Flowers

When selecting flowers for the flower girl, consider the following:

• Flower Durability: Choose flowers that are hardy and less likely to wilt quickly.
• Allergies: Make sure the flowers chosen are safe for young children and avoid heavily scented flowers if allergies are a concern.
• Size & Weight: Ensure that the arrangements are lightweight and sized appropriately for the child.

Popular Flower Choices

• Roses: Classic and versatile; available in many colors.
• Baby’s Breath: Delicate and airy, often used in crowns and wreaths.
• Daisies: Simple and cheerful; a good choice for a casual or rustic wedding.
• Hydrangeas: Voluminous flowers that are beautiful in bouquets but can be fragile.
• Peonies: Romantic and lush, suitable for bouquets and flower crowns.

When planning, consider the wedding’s overall theme, color palette, and the flower girl’s comfort and ease of carrying or wearing the chosen flowers. With thoughtful selection, the flower girl’s flowers can beautifully complement the entire wedding aesthetic.
