Here Comes the… Flower Girl!
With relaxed and informal celebrations on the rise, flowers look more organic, garden-like and free form. A natural wicker basket for the flower girl is the perfect complement to the fresh-picked feeling.
And with inventory space often being at a premium in your shop, it also helps knowing that your baskets can serve multiple purposes. Holding a case of flower-girl specific baskets isn’t likely to fly off the shelf. But by stocking sturdy baskets in convenient proportions, you can make them work for a variety of formality levels.
Wrapping the handle and weaving white satin ribbon throughout creates a more traditional flower girl basket with supplies you already stock. Consider using any color or texture of ribbon with this technique to match any wedding palette.
Because event florists consider all the senses, this also makes the basket luxurious to the touch, comfortable for a child and ensures the basket is smooth and soft against a dress.
You CAN touch this
Another way to introduce a soft texture is by covering the outside of the basket with silk petals or moss. Simple and sweet, it adds a lightness an innocence, exactly what the flower girl represents. It also begs to be touched with its fluffy, soft petals making it ideal for you to recommend silk flowers to a bride in this case. Remind your bride in this high-touch arrangement, she will want to avoid wilting petals and tattered greenery, which is a simply reality with kids. With the toss petals, if she wants them to stay pristine and unblemished, she should trust you on lifelike silk.
Sentimental Touches
If the backyard or bohemian style is the tone you’re setting, the flower girl basket can link other event details together. Using baskets at other event locations such as gift tables, favors and centerpieces, brings the texture and color throughout the celebration.
More on Weddings Today
According to the Wedding Report, the average wedding five years ago was spending nearly $150 on the flower girl between her basket and the petals the threw. This average was greater than the amount spent on all the boutonnieres and corsages at the wedding, and just barely below the average cost of a bridesmaid’s bouquet!
Do you Think This Has Changed?
