Tips for Wearing Flowers in Your Bridal Hair

Fresh or faux flowers worn in the hair by you and your bridal party are the ultimate wedding hair accessory. Adding flowers to your hair can create a beautiful, romantic look to any wedding theme and location, especially outdoor/beach weddings.

Once you have decided to have flowers in your hair, the next step is to either opt for fresh or faux flowers. Both have my recommendation...

If you want a special/particular type of flower but it's out of season, faux flowers are fabulous for this.
Fresh flowers mix so well, especially if you want to create a flower crown to sit prettily on top of your head.
With faux flowers you won't have to worry about the flowers wilting in warm weather.
Having fresh flowers for your hair can match your bridal bouquet perfectly.
It's easy to glue faux flowers to a barrette, hair comb or head band. Embellish with jewels to give a vintage feel.
Place fresh flowers in a cool place or refrigerator and mist with a fine spray of water. Prepare them as close to the ceremony as possible.

Here are some of the most popular flowers for wedding hair:

Orchids
Freesia
Calla Lily
Roses
Dahlia
Daisy
Gardenia Lily
Stephanotis


Once you have decided on how you are going to wear your hair, have a discussion with your hairdresser and florist for ideas. Large blooms work well with simple updos or hair down style, whereas smaller flowers are more delicate looking with intricate hairstyles.
