Complete your flower girl's wedding attire with the perfect headpiece. From tiaras and veils that match the bride's, to ribbons, bows and barrettes that complement her outfit, there are numerous choices available to flower girls today.
Brides who choose to wear a tiara may want their link to match. Other brides may choose to have their flower girl wear a tiara to complement a princess look for a fairytale themed wedding, or simply complement the dress the flower girl is wearing.
Tiaras can be worn with the hair styled up or down, although hair worn at least partially up can help give some body and weight to the piece, helping to anchor it into place. A couple good places to find tiaras for flower girls include:
Veils are another option for flower girls. Much shorter in length than a bride's traditional veil, they often attach to the back of a tiara or ring of flowers. This look often complements flower girls with curly updos, although it can be done with hair down or pulled into a sleek bun.
The veil or combination veil with tiara look is something many brides choose for an older flower girl that is considered to be more of a "miniature bride." This is a slightly older flower girl who may wear a scaled-down version of the bride's dress.
Flower girls in outdoor or spring/summer weddings often wear rings or wreaths around their heads. Select from real flowers with small leaves and a visible vine, or faux flowers. If you select real flowers, have them made by your florist or by a family member, within a day or two of the wedding to make sure they look fresh.
Faux flower headpieces are often less costly and can be found year round. They also may have strong combs attached for positioning. Rings of flowers work well for slightly older girls wearing their hair down because the flowers can help pull it back from their faces. Girls wearing updos may look better with a smaller ring of flowers attached securely in the lifted portion of the hair.
Younger flower girls who may not want a large or invasive headpiece often do well with either a large bow holding their hair back, or ribbons attached to combs or barrettes. Due to the simplicity of this style, this works best for girls with longer hair that is worn down so the ribbon or bow does not overpower their head. Using either a bow or some ribbons is a great way of introducing a little bit of color to the flower girl's outfit.
If the flower girl is wearing her hair at least partially up, consider using some clips or snaps decorated with rhinestones, pearls or other decorative beads. If you go this route, make sure the flower girl's hair is thick enough to support the clip, as many of these beaded pieces are heavy and may slide out of thinner hair. This is also a good opportunity to introduce a small amount of color to the flower girl's outfit. This look often works better on slightly older girls who can pull off the elaborately decorated clips.
If a full scale hair wreath is a little too much for younger flower girls, or if your wedding is more simplistic in style, consider using a flower barrette to anchor your flower girl's hair away from her face. Flower barrettes are often made of silk or artificial flowers attached to a clip. They can hold back the sides of the hair, or collect the hair in the back for a half updo. Larger flowers are often a good choice for very young flower girls, while smaller blooms make the best choices for older girls. Select a brightly colored flower to instantly add a small pop of color to the ensemble.
Girls with short or fine hair, as well as girls who are wearing their hair down, can make use of decorative headbands. Headbands for flower girls are often white and may be adorned with pearls, crystals or small flowers to make a subtle statement in the girl's hair. Other head bands may be brighter or bolder in color with a large flower on one side. They may or may not have a veil attached as well. Simple weddings or flower girls wearing very plain dresses often look the best with a headband, rather than a more eye-catching headpiece.
The right headpiece can be the finishing touch for your flower girl's wedding hairstyle. Find the right piece to fit in with your wedding and rest assured that even the smallest member of the bridal party is dressed for the occasion.
