Flower Girl Flowers
By Tenley McDonald
There are many options available to adorn your flower girl with
flowers! Here are some creative ideas to consider for the flower
girl in your wedding party.
A popular idea is to have your flower girl carry a decorative
basket with rose petals. As she walks down the isle, she can
sprinkle the petals in her path. If you will be using petals,
make sure that the ceremony facility allows them. A simple
runner can be used to line the aisle, making clean up of rose
petals a little easier. Keep in mind that when stepped on, rose
petals with color can stain the flooring. For this reason, many
florists will suggest white or cream Rose Petals. Silk Petals
are another option to provide color down the aisle. If you like
the basket idea, but don’t want petals sprinkled, your local
florist can also use whole blooms and flowers to decorate your
flower girl’s basket. Another option is a "Sweetheart Purse".
These small totes are filled with flowers and ribbon can be
attached for further accent.
Floral Pomanders are a unique alternative to a Flower Girl
Basket. A Pomander is a sphere style bouquet with no outward
stems. Quite simply, a ball of flowers! Ribbon is attached for
carrying this unique design! A Pomander can be created with a
variety of flowers. Consider using flowers similar in style to
your bouquet. Ribbon can coordinate with her dress or a sheer or
neutral ribbon can be used.
Your flower girl can also carry a bouquet similar in style to
your bridesmaids’ bouquets. A more petite posey with fewer
flowers will make it easier for little hands to carry. Ribbon
streamers can add a unique touch to this bouquet. This is
especially appropriate if your flower girl is a little older as
it will make her feel more like a "Special Bridesmaid" as
opposed to a flower girl. Do you have 2 flower girls? They could
carry a garland of blooms down the aisle together representing
the unity of two life's.
A decorative wreath of greens and/or flowers can be created for
your flower girl. This crown of blooms will make her feel like a
little princess! Perfect for younger girls that may not be able
to carry their floral accessories. Flowers similar in color and
style to those in your bouquets will be complimentary.
There are many options available to compliment the flower girl
in your wedding. From Flowers for her hair to a detailed
bouquet...Your local florist can suggest the perfect floral
designs for your special Flower Girl!
