Hoop Bouquet Ideas
A trendy look for a flower girl that can be fashioned after her dress is the flower girl hoop bouquet. Instead of the conventional basket for tossing petals, a metallic colored loop in gold or silver can feature floral arrangements of blooming peonies or any other seasonal flower intertwined. The hoop can be stand-alone or sit on top of a similarly hued basket of petals or confetti.

Flower Girl Pomander Bouquet
A flower girl pomander bouquet, also known as a kissing ball, is a unique and stylish alternative to traditional flower girl bouquets. A pomander is a ball of flowers or decorative elements suspended from a ribbon or cord and is often carried by a flower girl as she walks down the aisle. To fit your wedding’s theme, you can select from a vast choice of flowers and colors. Some popular ones include roses, daisies, hydrangeas, and baby’s breath.
Also, flower girl pomanders are often smaller in size compared to other types of bouquets. It makes them an ideal choice for younger flower girls who may find a large bouquet too cumbersome to carry. It’s always great to opt for flowers that are in season and will be easy to care for on the day of the wedding.

Brooch Wedding Bouquets
While tossing flower petals might be traditional, there is a wide variety of options for a unique flower girl role. A flower girl can be assigned to wear a floral flower girl brooch bouquet while carrying a bunch in her basket.
Handing out one to each guest is sure to put smiles on their faces and hers just before the wedding ceremony begins. A great alternative if you need the venue floor to be free of petals.

Mini Bouquets For Flower Girl
There is space for every type of flower girl accessory out there and fashioning a mini bouquet after the main bouquet of the day is still in trend. A smaller arrangement with seasonal blooms such as garden roses of different hues, and peonies alongside foliage or greenery would make a sweet-smelling bouquet that she would love to carry down the aisle.

Contemporary Bouquets
A contemporary wedding could do with conventional wedding bouquets, even for the cutest flower girl. Going with the theme of the wedding the bouquet could be an arrangement of monochromatic hues or a mix of complementary colors. These could be blossoms of white or deep red garden roses paired with assorted greenery and eucalyptus for that bit of extra.

Basket Flower Girl Bouquet Ideas
A basket flower girl bouquet is one of the charming and traditional accessories you can use to dress up the youngest member of a bridal party. For classic flower girl bouquet ideas, round, dome-shaped bouquets of white roses or hydrangeas or a loosely arranged collection of wildflowers in muted shades can be a stunning choice. Also, the bouquet size can range from small and dainty to larger, statement-making arrangements.
It is also vital to consider the season and availability. Peonies and ranunculus are popular spring and summer flowers while garden roses and anemones are often used in autumn and winter weddings. Ensure that the flowers are securely fastened to the handle. A well-designed bouquet will stay put, even if the little one playing the role of flower girl is a bit active.

Bohemian Flower Girl Bouquets
A bohemian flower girl bouquet for a boho-styled wedding can be designed after the theme of the wedding. A child-sized parasol covered in seasonal wildflowers to walk down the aisle with, or a dark wicker basket covered in ribbons of the wedding colors and filled with petals are all fun ideas.

Bouquets In Rustic Style
If you’re looking for flower girl ideas for a rustic-style wedding, look no more. Consider floral hearts instead of hoops. Heart-shaped wreath-like rustic flower girl bouquets would be fun to carry. An alternative would be wicker bowls adorned with greenery and filled with herbs instead of petals to be strewn across the aisle.
