Brides Often Ask

What are some easy hairstyles to do for a little flower girl?

The flower girl precedes the bride, so all eyes are on her. To make the flower girl stand out, consider these hairstyles. Have her wear half updos, braided crowns, a simple bun, or a twisted updo. You can also opt for a cascade of ringlets, free-falling tiny braids, milkmaid braids, and a high ponytail/bun, or have her match the bride. Leaving her hair to run natural isn’t a bad idea either because you want to preserve some innocence even on your big day.

What accessories can a flower girl wear in her hair?

There are many ideas like the baby breath as accents, a classic flower crown, or a big ribbon bow to match her dress. She can also accessorize with a golden crown, flower tuck, or dried grasses for a rustic wedding. You can get more creative with floral headbands or wild crowns for a bohemian affair. Other alternatives include a wreath of olive branches or barrettes, tender clips, and dainty combs or hair ties perfect for children.

Who pays for the flower girl hairstyle?

Traditionally, the flower girl hairstyle is paid for by the bride’s parents, and it holds true up to date. However, the couple or bride in question can take up the responsibility, especially if she’s a minor. They can also split bills by asking the flower girl’s family to contribute. Since the bride chooses the flower girl dress and her family pays for it, it’s not awkward to ask for their contribution towards the hair.

Long Mermaid Braids Hairstyles

Flower girls with long hair are probably already familiar with braided styles. But, your wedding day calls for something a little more sophisticated.

These wedding hairstyles for long hair pair standard pigtails with a big dose of maturity. Fishtail braids for flower girls are the perfect choice for classic and traditional weddings. You can also throw in a few floral weaves for a classy boho look.

This option requires the flower girl to still fairly still for a long period of time and can easily become undone with a little tugging and fussing. It’s best to reserve this option for flower girls 8 or older.

Trendy Ponytail Ideas

A lot of brides love going all out to achieve the perfect flower girl hairstyle, and ponytails could just be that chance.

Consider transforming that every-day ponytail into a work of art.

Pro Tip
When dealing with wedding hairstyles for flower girls with extra long hair, it can be a bit difficult to land on an option that works with your theme and choice of gown style, but not with a trendy ponytail. Choose the combination of intricate design and natural flow that matches your wedding goals.

Half Up Half Down

Half-up wedding hairstyles are ideal for older flower girls who adore the idea of being pampered just like an adult.

The beauty of this choice is that it ties back the hair away from the flower girl’s face which is sometimes hard to achieve with kids. It also allows the locks to flow which is generally what younger girls prefer.

This is a sophisticated look and best used for traditional wedding themes, but it can also be dressed down to suit boho and barn weddings or even period themes – Gatsby – with the right accessories such as floral pins or rhinestone combs.

Flower Girl Hairstyles: Loose Curls

Among the various options available, loose curls stand out as a timeless and enchanting choice. These soft, flowing curls exude a sense of effortless elegance, perfectly complementing the youthful aura of a flower girl. The loose curls can be adorned with delicate floral accessories, ribbons, or even a dainty tiara, adding a touch of whimsy and sophistication.

Whether the flower girl’s hair is short or long, this versatile hairstyle can be adapted to suit any length and texture, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of bridal themes.

Comfortable Textured Hairstyles

This option should be reserved for older flower girls. It takes a long time to accomplish and requires complete concentration to keep looking tight.

The hours spent in the styling chair is well worth it, but you’ll have to spend an almost equal amount of time choosing the style you want. There are many. The end result is a work of art that may just give the bride a run for her money.

However, you should warn the flower girl’s parents to prevent potential shock. She’s going to look all grown up.

High Ballet Bun

Ballerina buns are wedding updos that are perfect for a variety of scenarios. They work well as wedding hairstyles for long hair or medium hair. They’re simple enough to use with younger flower girls yet sophisticated enough to make young ladies feel special. You can style them tight or slightly loose, and high or low on the hairline, making it pair well with almost the entire range of wedding themes.

As a bonus, this wedding hairstyle is the OG flower girl look. It originated in the upper-class Victorian period when flower girls began wearing white and touting the basket full of flowers. The bun itself is a circle that’s meant to resemble a circle – the era’s symbol for love.

Braided Crown Ideas

Braided crowns are a newer invention, and they’re gorgeous! A simple braid is wrapped around the flower girl’s head to push the rest of the hair back and create a lovely frame for the face. Or the crown is braided further back, resulting in a hairstyle that looks like an angel’s halo.

As mentioned above, hair flowers are essential. Braided crowns provide the perfect canvas for strategically placed petals or delicate tiaras. The hairstyle stands on its own, so there’s no need to go overboard with accessories.

Just like some of the other options, the braided crown pairs well with a wide variety of wedding themes.

African American Flower Girl Hairstyles

African-American flower girl hairstyles embrace the natural beauty and versatility of textured hair, featuring adorable options like braided updos, twist-outs with floral accessories, or cute afro puffs adorned with ribbons.

These hairstyles celebrate cultural heritage and add a touch of charm and elegance to the little ones walking down the aisle.

Flower Girls Hair Accessories

The flower crown is one of those wedding hairstyles for short hair and long hair alike, and suitable for all ages, but is usually more adorable on younger flower girls… This can be worn over a bun, braids, flowing locks, or any other style you can imagine.

It’s also easy to match with any wedding theme due to the ability to choose whatever flower combination you want. This crown can match her bouquet, the bride’s bouquet, the bridesmaids’ gowns, or the reception florals to tie everything together.

Although this hairstyle fits many themes, it’s ideal for outdoor weddings between late spring and early fall.
