The complete guide
Choosing an Ivory Flower Girl Basket for Your Ceremony
A flower girl basket is a small part of a wedding, but choosing one still takes a little thought. It needs to work with the outfit, suit the child's role and fit the rules of your ceremony venue. A basket that looks right in a photo may be a different size or shade from what you expected.
This ivory satin flower girl basket has a pearl handle and bow detail. The pack contains one basket, ready for you to plan around your own ceremony arrangements. Petals and flowers are not included.
The most useful checks are simple. Look at the measurements, remember that the colour is ivory rather than white, and leave enough time to inspect the basket before the wedding. Here is how to decide whether it belongs in your plans.
Start with the flower girl's role
Before choosing a wedding aisle basket, decide what the flower girl will do. Will she scatter petals, carry the basket without scattering anything, or walk beside another member of the wedding party? That choice affects what you need to check.
If you plan to use petals, ask the venue about its rules first. Some venues may restrict what can be scattered or require someone to clear it away. Confirm those details directly rather than assuming a basket means petals can be used.
You can also plan a simple walk with the basket as an accessory. Think about where the child will start, who will help her get ready and where she will go once she reaches the end of the aisle. Those practical details matter more than adding extra decorations.
Understand the size before ordering
This is a small flower girl basket. Its top diameter is 13 cm, while the bottom diameter is 9.5 cm. The body measures 8.5 cm high without the handle. Including the handle, the full height is 20.3 cm.
The overall product dimensions are listed as 13 cm deep by 13 cm wide by 20.3 cm high. These measurements give you a better guide than a styled photograph, where surrounding objects can change your sense of scale.
Use a ruler or tape measure to picture that size beside the child's outfit. You could mark out a 13 cm circle on paper to understand the top width. This will not recreate the basket, but it can help you judge whether the size matches your expectations.
Petal capacity is not stated. Neither is a maximum carrying weight, so avoid planning around a fixed quantity or heavy contents.
Choose ivory with care
The listed colour is ivory, not white. That is worth checking early, particularly if you are coordinating several accessories bought at different times.
An ivory flower girl basket may be part of a wider ivory colour scheme, or it may sit beside a dress in another colour. Either approach is a styling choice. What matters is knowing what you are ordering rather than expecting a bright white accessory.
Compare the colour description with the dress, shoes and any other pieces the child will wear. An exact match is not promised. Screens and lighting can also affect how colours look, so inspect the basket on arrival before deciding whether it works with the outfit.
If matching shades closely is important to you, leave time for that check. It is easier to make a considered choice when the ceremony is still some way off.
Look at the finish and listed materials
The basket is described as satin, with listed materials of satin silk and plastic. It also has a pearl handle and bow detail. Those are the details to consider when comparing it with other flower girl accessories.
The maker's description does not give fabric percentages or explain which material is used in every part. It also does not state the composition of the pearls. A pearl handle basket should not be assumed to contain natural or cultured pearls.
Rather than reading extra claims into the material names, focus on the stated appearance and measurements. Decide whether the satin finish, ivory colour and decorative handle suit the outfit and ceremony you have planned.
There is no need for every accessory to repeat every detail of the dress. You may prefer the bow to be the main link, or simply want an ivory satin basket alongside other ivory pieces.
Check how the child will carry it
No age range is specified for this basket. The recorded weight is 0.1 kg, but weight alone does not tell you whether a particular child will manage it comfortably.
Check the full 20.3 cm height against the child's size and outfit. Think about the route as well. A short, straight walk is different from a route with steps, turns or a long wait before the ceremony begins.
Once the basket arrives, an adult should assess how the child holds it. Keep any planned contents modest because a carrying limit is not stated. Avoid pulling on the handle or treating the decorative parts as something to swing.
A practice walk is useful for checking the whole plan. The aim is not a flawless performance. It is to see whether the child understands what to do and whether an adult should stay close by.
Plan petals separately
The pack contains one basket only. Flowers, petals and other styling items need to be arranged separately.
If you want to use it as a petal carrying basket, choose your petals after confirming the venue's rules. Then test a modest amount in the basket before the day. Since capacity is not given, do not rely on a photo or guess to decide how much it will hold.
Consider the length of the aisle and whether scattering petals is really needed throughout the walk. A child may also prefer simply carrying the basket. Either way, decide in advance so the person helping her knows the plan.
Keep a separate place for spare petals if you need them. Do not assume the basket can hold all the ceremony supplies or carry a heavy refill.
Decide how many baskets you need
Each pack contains one flower girl basket. If two children will each carry a basket, you will need two packs.
Work this out alongside the ceremony order rather than leaving it until the final accessories check. Children walking together may have different roles, so there is no need to assume every child needs the same item.
For a single flower girl, one basket may be all your plan calls for. For a larger wedding party, write down who is carrying what and who will hand each item out.
This also helps avoid buying extra pieces without a purpose. Keep the focus on what the ceremony needs and what each child can reasonably manage.
Allow time for delivery and inspection
Delivery is within Australia only. We dispatch within 2 working days, and delivery then takes up to 7 working days by tracked courier.
Treat dispatch and delivery as separate parts of the timing. Order well ahead of the wedding date so you have time to receive the parcel, inspect the basket and compare it with the outfit.
On arrival, check the colour, shape, handle and decorative details before using it. Keep the original packaging while you decide whether the basket is right for your plans.
An early check also gives you time to ask questions if something is wrong. Do not leave the unopened parcel until the morning of the ceremony.
Care for it gently before and after use
The maker gives no specific washing method for this satin flower girl basket. Gentle handling is the sensible starting point.
Keep it clean and dry before the wedding. Store it where other items cannot crush its shape or catch the bow and handle details. Avoid packing it tightly under clothes or other accessories.
After use, remove loose petals and check for surface marks. If cleaning is needed, test gentle spot cleaning on a hidden area first. Avoid soaking or machine washing because the maker's description does not state that either method is suitable.
For storage, choose a clean, dry space. Keeping the basket away from pressure and snagging is a simple way to look after its decorative shape without assuming any special care treatment.
Know your options if plans change
Wedding plans can change, and an accessory may not look as expected beside the outfit. Check the basket before using it so you can make that decision while it is still unused.
Change of mind returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery if the item is unused and in its original packaging. The customer pays return postage. Keep both the return window and the packaging requirement in mind when your parcel arrives.
Faulty or damaged items are put right under the Australian Consumer Law. Contact us with your order details and explain the issue. No warranty is sold with the basket, and that does not remove your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
The short version
Choose this wedding ceremony basket if its ivory colour, satin finish, pearl handle and bow detail fit your plans. Check the 13 cm top diameter and 20.3 cm overall height before ordering.
One basket is included. Petals are separate, and capacity, carrying limits and age suitability are not specified. Confirm venue rules, assess the basket with the child and order well ahead so there is time to check everything before the ceremony.
