I don’t know what it is about those little courtesy baskets couples leave in the bathrooms at weddings, but I love them! It’s so fun rummaging through them to check out all the miscellaneous odds and ends, and usually, they’re displayed in such a pretty way. Every bride wants their wedding to be “unique,” which is a tricky feat given the endless ideas that are out there.

There’s no denying that flowergirls give weddings that “aww” factor. The frilly dresses, the flower petals, those cute little-girl smiles – is there anything cuter?! The traditional flowergirl will usually carry her coveted petals in a classic white silk basket, which are lovely (I opted for something like this at my wedding). They come with pretty detailing like bows, pearls, and crystals. But there are also many different, creative types of holders, so you don’t have to confine yourself to just one standard model.
