During the wedding reception, the bride is not the only one who should look beautiful. The flower girl should look pretty, too.

A flower girl should wear a flower girl dress with matching shoes. I would prefer flower girl shoes that are covered and comfortable to walk with. Gloves are optional. To add to her looks, flower girl accessories like a bridal hairpiece and a flower girl basket is worn and carried with her during the wedding ceremony.

A hairpiece has various types. A hairpiece can be floral wreaths or just fresh flowers on the head.

Flower rings are usually made of silk flowers. It can also be a bun wrap, a barette or a small tiara or crown. A veil can be worn together with the tiara or flower ring.

It is exciting to dress up the flower girl because she will look so adorable when she's all dressed up. When she's done, she will need a flower girl basket.

The flower girl could also carry a petite bouquet. It could be a small bunch of flowers, arranged into a posy or just loosely tied.

The choice of flowers could be the same as the brides' but the size should be smaller. The same flowers could be used for the hair. For example, a posy of daisies or gerber daisies will look lovely.

A pomander is a ball, made of flowers. A ribbon is tied to the ball for the flower girl to carry. The pomander can be accessorized with decorative wires, jewels and other materials.

Flowers like daisies, peonies, lisianthus and roses are popular for the pomander.

The flower girl hair wreath is a ring of flowers with a trailing ribbon, to be worn on the head. Each flower or material is wired to form a round.

Hyacinth pips, spray roses and alstromerias are great for hair wreaths.

Another idea is to carry a satchel. A satchel is a satin bag or a pouch, decorated with ribbons or pearls. In it, you canput rose petals or even scented potpourri.

These are some flower girl accessories that you can use to dress up your flower girl. You can make them your own or haveyour florist do it for you. Either way, you are now familiar with flower girl accessories and know what to ask for.

The flower girl will throw flower petals from the basket when she walks down the aisle. There are three kinds of flower petals - fresh, silk and dried.

Each has a different texture. The fresh is softer but they can stain. And they are also pricey compared to the silks. The silks do not stain and can be a good choice.

There are many other uses of the petals, not just for the flower girl. For the flower girl, the petals can be carried in a basket, a satchel or a cone with handle.
