Decorations also vary from one region to the next. The doll may be dressed in a long white gown or robe, and oftimes a white mantle, or intricate lace patterns might be woven into the husks themselves. She is then decorated with bits of Spring greenery, flowers such as primroses and snowdrops, and brightly polished stones and shells. The brightest ornament is placed over her heart and called Rionnag Brídeóg, the "Star of Little Brighid." The face may be a mask, a carved turnip, or a piece of white cloth that has been dyed, or appropriately painted to represent Brighid's face.

When the Brídeóg is dressed to satisfaction, the young women and men don white gowns and form a group called Brídeóga (Bridies or Biddies). The young woman elected to represent Brighid carries the Brídeóg and leads the procession through the town, dancing and singing the song of Bhrighide bhoidheach oigh nam mile beus, "Beauteous Brighid, virgin of a thousand charms." The Brídeóg procession visits every house, and each person is expected to give a gift to Brighid. The gift may be a shell, a crystal, a flower, or a bit of greenery to decorate young Brighid. Mothers give bonnach Bhrighide (bannock), cheese and a roll of butter.
