If she's old enough to walk and talk, your flower girl most likely takes her role in the wedding pretty seriously. She's been practicing throwing those petals for weeks! And for good reason—before the bride walks down the aisle, all eyes will be on her. She also knows that part of nailing her job is looking her best, which is where an adorable, age-appropriate hairstyle comes in.
How your flower girl ultimately chooses to wear her hair is dependent on a few things, but your preferences should obviously be one of them. Still, don't forget that kids are kids, and getting them to sit still for an elaborate updo that perfectly mimics your own might not be in cards. Plus, you'll want to ensure their hair is arranged in a way that will be comfortable throughout the ceremony and reception.
With that in mind, we've rounded up a few easily-achievable, elegant looks that'll suit every flower girls' attention span. And with styles for long, short, curly, natural, and baby-fine locks, there's a look here that's bound to work with your favorite little one's hair.
