Flower Girl Basket Ideas

Traditional Baskets

The traditional Flower Girl Basket is usually a white, ivory or off-white container with a handle. The basket may consist of plastic or wrapped in satin or silk. The Flower Girl holds her petals or buds in the container, sprinkling them on the ground as she walks down the aisle. The embellishments on the basket may include beads or plastic pearls.

For example, Hortense B Hewitt’s With All My Heart Flower Girl Basket sold by The Wedding Outlet is a satin basket with pleats that look likes wooden planks. It features rhinestones and ribbons, along with a heart-shaped brooch. This basket comes in red, ivory or mocha. These traditional baskets are the perfect choice for most weddings.

Baskets for Theme Weddings

Brides can choose a Flower Girl Basket that reflects the wedding theme. While the shape of the basket remains the same, designers alter the embellishments and colors to create the right look. If your wedding color is red, for instance, you can purchase a red basket for your flower girl.

Women having a Victorian wedding will likely want to have plenty of lace embellishments on their wedding accessories. The Beverly Clark Collection has a beautiful Victorian Flower Girl Basket. Wrapped in finely detailed lace embellishments, this basket also features large sheer ribbons. It comes in ivory or white.

Military weddings should have accessories that express that theme. You can purchase a Flower Girl Basket from Wedding Reception Ideas that features camouflage colors and details. The Military Flower Girl Basket in Digital Desert Camouflage is a white satin container with a camouflage ribbon. The ribbon can feature an emblem from the military branch of your choice. You can buy this basket separately or as part of the Digital Desert Camo wedding set.
