Complete her occasion outfit with girls bags, flower girl baskets and decorative bouquets for weddings, First Holy Communion, bridesmaid duties, parties and family celebrations. This collection brings together elegant accessories designed to complement girls dresses while also giving her something special to carry throughout the day.
Choose from satin and lace occasion bags, traditional flower girl baskets and hand-held flower bouquets in styles suited to both classic and modern celebrations. Whether you are coordinating with a white or ivory dress or introducing colour from the wider wedding theme, the right accessory can help bring the whole outfit together.
Flower Girl Baskets & Bouquets
Flower girls can carry either a traditional basket or a small bouquet depending on the style of the wedding and the role they have during the ceremony.
A flower girl basket is a classic choice for walking down the aisle and can be used to carry petals where the venue allows. Decorative baskets with bows, pearls and satin details also work as an accessory on their own when loose petals are not required.
A flower girl bouquet or posy provides a more floral, formal alternative. Hand-held bouquets can coordinate with the bridal flowers, bridesmaid colours or the flower girl's dress and are particularly effective for wedding photographs and more traditional ceremonies.
For a coordinated wedding look, pair her basket or bouquet with one of our Flower Girl Dresses.
Girls Occasion Bags
A small occasion bag is a practical finishing touch for weddings, parties, Communion celebrations and other formal events. Girls clutch bags, satin purses and decorative handbags can hold small essentials while adding another detail to the outfit.
For formal looks, white and ivory accessories work particularly well with traditional dresses, while coloured, floral and embellished designs can be used to coordinate with shoes, sashes, bridesmaid colours or other accessories.
When choosing a bag for a younger girl, consider a lightweight design that is easy for her to hold and proportionate to her outfit. Smaller bags generally work best with fuller flower girl and Communion dresses without distracting from the overall look.
Accessories for Flower Girls, Bridesmaids & Communion
The right accessory will depend on the occasion and how formal the outfit needs to be.
- Flower girls: choose a flower basket or mini bouquet to complement the wedding colours and bridal party.
- Junior bridesmaids: a small bouquet or elegant occasion bag can create a slightly more mature look.
- First Holy Communion: white and ivory bags work beautifully with traditional Girls Communion Dresses.
- Weddings and parties: decorative clutch bags and satin purses add a polished finishing touch to formal dresses.
- Family celebrations: choose an accessory that can be carried comfortably while still coordinating with the rest of her outfit.
How to Match a Basket, Bouquet or Bag to Her Dress
Start with the colour and detailing of the dress. White accessories create a crisp traditional look, while ivory works particularly well with warmer cream and champagne tones. If the dress includes pearls, lace, bows, flowers or crystal-style embellishments, choosing an accessory with similar details can help the outfit feel coordinated.
The accessory does not have to match the dress exactly. For weddings, a bouquet can instead pick up the bridesmaid colour, floral arrangements or another shade from the wedding palette. This is an easy way to connect the flower girl with the rest of the bridal party.
Finish the outfit with a coordinating pair from our Girls Shoes collection.
Basket or Bouquet: Which Should a Flower Girl Carry?
Both work well, and the best choice depends on the ceremony. A basket creates the traditional flower girl look and is particularly suitable when she will scatter petals. A bouquet gives the outfit a more formal floral finish and can be easier to coordinate directly with the bridal flowers.
For weddings with more than one flower girl, you can also mix the two. Younger flower girls can carry baskets while older flower girls or junior bridesmaids carry matching bouquets, helping distinguish their roles while keeping the wedding party coordinated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Girls Bags, Baskets & Bouquets
What does a flower girl carry at a wedding?
A flower girl can carry a traditional flower basket, a small bouquet or decorative posy. Baskets are often chosen when she will scatter petals, while bouquets provide a more formal floral accessory and can coordinate with the bridal party.
Should a flower girl carry a basket or bouquet?
Either is suitable. Choose a basket for a classic flower girl look or a bouquet when you want her flowers to coordinate more closely with the bride or bridesmaids. The choice can also depend on her age and what she is expected to do during the ceremony.
Can a flower girl bouquet be used by a junior bridesmaid?
Yes. Small hand-held bouquets and posies can also work well for junior bridesmaids, particularly when their flowers are designed to coordinate with the bridesmaid or bridal bouquets.
Can girls carry a bag for First Holy Communion?
Yes. A small white or ivory occasion bag can complement a First Holy Communion dress and provide somewhere to carry small personal items during the celebration.
What colour flower girl accessory should I choose?
White and ivory are traditional choices, but the accessory can also coordinate with the bridesmaid dresses, flowers or wider wedding colour palette. Compare the accessory with the dress rather than relying only on colour names, as shades can look different across satin, lace and other materials.
Can a flower girl carry both a bouquet and a bag?
She can, but for the ceremony it is usually easier to choose one main hand-held accessory. A bouquet or basket can be used during the ceremony, while a small occasion bag can be carried later at the reception or celebration.
How do I coordinate a flower girl bouquet with her dress?
Look at the dress colour and decorative details first. Flowers, pearls, lace, ribbons and crystal-style accents can be matched or complemented by similar details in the bouquet. You can also use the bouquet to introduce the bridesmaid colour or another shade from the wedding theme.
