Precious Flower Girl Baskets and Headpieces

Your little flower girl is bound to be adorable. Enhance her sweet look with special accessories. These are some of the most precious ideas for flower girl baskets and headpieces.

The first thing to think about when choosing a basket for your flower girl is scale. It should be a size that is manageable for the young lady carrying it, so you would give a smaller basket to a three year old than you would to an eight year old girl. You will also have a variety of options for the shape of the basket. Open shallow baskets can be nice because it does not take many petals to fill them, but they can be easier to spill. If you choose a small deep basket, the bottom can be stuffed with tulle and the rose petals placed on top.

White woven baskets are a staple for flower girls and look especially pretty for an outdoor summer wedding. They can be filled with petals for tossing, or with small arrangements of flowers. Daisies would be a fresh and pretty choice for an informal wedding. To make the basket cuter, tie intertwined ribbons around the handle and let them stream down the sides of the basket. The ribbons can either match the flowers or your wedding colors.

Another very nice option for a flower girl basket is one that is covered in fabric. They are often done in white or ivory silk, which is suitable for every type of wedding. For a winter wedding, look for a basket covered in a velvet or a rich brocade fabric. Ribbon streamers also look festive on fabric baskets, as do silk flower accents. It is a fun and easy diy project to hot glue a few flowers to the basket along the edge where the handle meets the basket part. To create a truly coordinated look for your wedding party, you can use a similar treatment on the ring bearer’s pillow.

You can also take a simple basket and transform it for your flower girl. One of the most beautiful effects is to hot glue real roses onto a woven basket until it is completely covered. Be sure to wait until about an hour before the wedding before removing the roses from water, removing their stems, and securing them to the basket. You can also mist them with water to keep the roses from wilting too quickly. This is a fairly simple project that will really add beauty to your wedding.

Your flower girl deserves a headpiece as pretty as her basket. One of the most common styles is a little floral wreath. It can be made with fresh flowers, dried flowers, or even silk or paper flowers. As with the basket, size matters. The circlet needs to fit the size of the flower girl’s head and the flowers should not be too large for her. To make the flower girl wreath even more romantic, intertwine ribbons with the flowers, and have them stream down her back.

Older flower girls may prefer a more simple style for their hair ornaments. A small barrette or comb with little pearls on it is a very pretty decoration for a young lady. Compliment the headpiece by giving her a dainty pearl necklace to wear for her flower girl jewelry. The nice thing about classic pearls for her flower girl jewelry and barrette is that she will be able to wear them again for other occasions. These sweet details are just perfect for the little girls in your wedding.
