- Have your florist save petals for your flower girl to toss as she walks down the aisle. These can be the same types of flower petals that will be in your bouquet or your bridesmaids' bouquets. You could also choose petals in the same color as your wedding or to complement your wedding colors. Coordinate with your florist to determine what flowers will be the most appropriate for your wedding.
- Place single stem flowers into her basket. These can be the same types of flowers as in the bridal party bouquets or be a different type in a complementary color. Your flower girl can then give these single stems to special people that you wish to recognize, such as god-parents, grandmothers or aunts. These can even be placed in empty seats to symbolize close relatives who have passed away, but you want remembered.
- If you do not wish for your flower girl to toss petals as she walks down the aisle, consider having a bouquet of flowers wired into her flower girl basket. These flowers can be a completely different type of flower than what everyone will be carrying, complementing the flowers of the bridal party or can be a miniature version of the bride's bouquet, especially if your flower girl will be wearing a miniature bride's dress.
- Fill her basket with candy in the wedding colors. Make sure that the candy is wrapped so that it doesn't stain or harm the carpet if it gets stepped on. She can also pass out the candy to guests as she walks down the aisle. Another option is to have her toss confetti in the wedding colors or in one that is complementary. You could also choose confetti that is glittery so that the aisle is sparkly when the bride walks down.
