The Captain was the pilot flying and I was the pilot monitoring.  During our visual approach into ZZZ the crew momentarily over sped the flaps going from flaps up to flaps 1. I was the pilot monitoring and when the pilot flying called for Flaps 1 I queried him that the speed was too fast.  The pilot flying ensured me it was OK to select flaps 1.  From there I selected flaps 1; the pilot flying and I both realized we should not have selected flaps 1 at that speed and I quickly retracted them. However; the master caution light did illuminate. Maintenance was notified; a write up in the book was performed and signed off after a visual inspection.Both the Captain and I had not flown in over a month. Although we discussed this in our threats brief; our recency of experience was a contributing factor.  I needed to be more assertive when I saw we were too fast for the requested configuration.  Rather than using an informal query; I should have used a hard 'check speed' call and waited for us to agree on the speed before I moved the handle.
Air carrier First Officer reported momentarily overspeeding the flaps while configuring for approach.
