Trendy Ponytail Wedding Flower Girl Hairstyles

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 Flower Girl Hairstyles

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 kids wedding hairstyles. 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.

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

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.

Conclusion

There are many flower girl hairstyles to choose from. To make the decision easier, work the choice into your wedding planning schedule so that her hair matches the rest of your bridal design choices.
