What to Consider Before Choosing a Flower Girl Hairdo
Before diving into all of the flower girl hairstyle inspiration, there are some important factors to think through. Below, we've included all the details to take note of for your littlest bridal attendant.
- The length, texture and growth-pattern of the hair: Let your flower girl's hair length and texture be your style compass. For instance, if she has long straight hair, reinforce it with a bouncy ponytail, or if she has short natural curls, let them shine as they are and top off her 'do with a cute hair accessory.
- The person styling the hair: Many styles are simple and can easily be DIY-ed by a loved one or friend. If complex styling is required, you may want to work with a professional stylist who specializes in flower girl hair.
- Styling time: it's important to remember that flower girls are typically between the ages of three and eight years old, so their desire to sit still can vary. Some styles take just a few minutes to pull off, while others require a bit more time and patience. Generally, the more complex the hairstyle, the longer it will take to execute. Take this into consideration if you're working with a particularly energetic mini.
- Wedding style: Keep the wedding theme and style in mind when looking for hair inspiration. It can also be helpful to send style ideas to the couple in advance so they can give their thoughts on the flower girl hairstyle you're loving.
- Hair accessories and flowers: Flower girl accessories like tiaras, bows and headbands are the easiest way to transform the simplest of styles into something elegant without the extra time or effort. If you're going the flower crown route, you should discuss that with your florist well in advance of your wedding day.

1. Half-Up Flower Girl Hairdo With Pastel Flower Crowns
If the flower girl attire leans more maximalist, consider keeping the hairstyling on the simpler side. A simple half-up hairstyle ensured these youngsters' flower girl hairdos didn't upstage their floral accessories. Both attendants donned floral angel wings with pink and blue blooms that perfectly complemented the ribbon-clad flower crowns that adorned their heads.
2. Flower Girl Updo With Garden-Inspired Flower Crown
This flower girl's curly locks were brushed back into a simple ponytail updo so that her springy flower crown could shine. The adorable attendant rocked a flower crown made of hellebores, daisies, lisianthus and hypericum berries. Since her blue-and-white flower girl dress had such a distinct pattern, keeping her hairstyle on the simple and elegant side ensured the look felt cohesive.
3. Simple Flower Girl Hairstyle for Short Hair
How adorable is this little attendant? Just because a flower girl has short hair doesn't mean you can't still do something fun for their look. A simple pearl-encrusted clip adorned the girl's hair. If your flower girl has bangs, make sure to get them trimmed shortly before the wedding so they don't fall in the child's face during the wedding processional.
4. Flower Girl Hairstyle With Goldenrod Flower Crown
Goldenrod, a vibrant yellow flower, was used throughout the ceremony decor at this wedding. To add cohesion to the event, goldenrod was also formed into a flower crown to sit atop this kiddo's curly short hair. While flower crowns are adorable in photos, keep in mind that young flower girls may be eager to take them off if they start to feel itchy or bothersome. Thankfully, this girl's curly hair was kept simple so that she would look just as cute sans-flower crown as she did with it.
5. Short Flower Girl Hairstyle With Pink Rose Flower Crown
What's not to love about a pop of color? This flower girl's dress had colorful flower embellishments so, naturally, vibrant flower hair accessories were the way to go. Instead of a traditional flower crown, this girl's accessory was a headband with flowers. Going this untraditional route had the added benefit of keeping her hair out of her eyes. And to bring the entire pink-centric look together? Rosy lip color.
6. Children's Wedding Hairstyles With Bejeweled Accessories
Guess what? There is no rule stating that your flower girl hairstyles have to match if you're having multiple attendants. Here, one kid's hairstyle was a fun updo while the other younger had loose curls. To bring cohesion to the duo's look they both sported bedazzled headbands as a finishing touch.
7. Half Braid in Child's Hair for Wedding
Wondering what makes a good children's wedding hairstyle? Something that is as practical and durable as it is cute. Here, for example, some of the flower girl's hair was braided to help keep it out of her eyes. A style like this is nice because it'll stay put all evening long, whereas a style that involves clips and accessories could fall out (or the kiddo may be prone to play with it).
8. Various Easy Little Girl Hairstyles
Just like each of your bridesmaids may want to lean into personalization with their hairstyle, the same goes for flower girls. Even if you have multiple young attendants, it's ok to plan on a different hairstyle for each one. One of the flower girls at this wedding had a half-up style while another sported a bow to pin back some of her locks. Lastly, the third youngster simply wore a natural look for her short curls.
9. Elegant Chignon Kid Hairstyle for Wedding
For a more-formal wedding, like a black-tie affair, hairstyles for flowergirls should match the mood. A simple bun is a nice option, as evidenced by this adorable flower girl who rocked a sleek chignon for her wedding party duties.
10. Flower Girl Hair With Large Bow Accessory
What do you do when a young flower girl doesn't have much hair to style? One option is to lean more heavily into wedding hair accessories. At this wedding, they decked out the youngster with an adorable large bow to bring her look together.
11. Flower Girl at Korean Wedding With Traditional Hair Accessory
The flower girl at this Korean wedding sported a small hanbok and finished off the look with a traditional hair accessory to complement the Korean attire. If you're wondering whether the flower girl outfit should lean into tradition, consider what the rest of the wedding party will be wearing. If the bridesmaids will also be in traditional garb, consider a flower girl outfit that'll match.
