Incorporating Fresh Flowers into Your Wedding Day Hairstyle

Floral Wedding Hairstyle options!

Every bride dreams of looking radiant on their wedding day, and what better way to achieve that ethereal charm than by adorning your wedding day hairstyle with fresh flowers? This timeless trend adds a touch of natural elegance and whimsy to your bridal look, creating an enchanting look that is both romantic and unforgettable. From delicate blossoms to lush greenery, incorporating fresh flowers into your wedding day hairstyle will complete your look.

So, whether you’re opting for a relaxed festival style wedding, a marquee or a more formal hotel based affair, fresh flowers can be the perfect accompaniment to your wedding day hairstyle.

One of the most enchanting aspects of using fresh flowers in your wedding day hairstyle is the endless array of options available. Whether you opt for a single statement bloom or a cascade of petite flowers woven throughout your hair, the possibilities are as diverse as the flora itself. For a classic and refined look, consider incorporating roses, peonies, or lilies into your wedding day hairstyle, while wildflowers and greenery can lend a more bohemian and whimsical vibe.

Big or Small flowers in your wedding day hairstyle

When it comes to selecting the perfect blooms for your bridal hairdo, it’s essential to consider the overall theme and aesthetic of your wedding. For a romantic garden affair, opt for soft pastel blooms such as blush roses or baby’s breath, while a rustic countryside celebration calls for earthy wildflowers and foliage. By harmonising the flowers in your hair with the rest of your wedding décor, you can create a cohesive and visually stunning look that reflects your unique style and personality.

However, one thing to consider is the size of the flowers.

Large flowers e.g. some roses and all peonies can be very heavy in your wedding day hairstyle. They can be quite hard to position and secure, so you should definitely ask your florist to wire them for you.

If you want to go big – rather than opting for individual flowers – larger blooms tend work best in a flower crown, as in this fabulous photo!

I know it might sound odd – but when used individually they can look ‘wrong’ from some angles, as the flowers are quite deep, especially from the side view.

And because they are quite big they will tend to wilt a bit more quickly if you get married on a hot day.

For these reasons I always recommend my brides opt for silk flowers if they want to have a large individual bloom in their hair.

They look great from every angle, they don’t wilt and they are not too heavy either!

All these practical considerations are also essential when incorporating fresh flowers into your wedding day hairstyle. It’s crucial to work with a skilled florist or hairstylist who can advise you on the best types of flowers to use, as well as how to secure them properly to ensure they stay in place throughout the festivities. Additionally, consider factors such as the seasonality of certain blooms and their durability, especially if you’re planning an outdoor wedding or expecting warm weather.

If you’re doing a DIY wedding and want to secure fresh flowers into your own hair – your best bet by far would be Gypsophila also know as Babies Breath. Have a look at my tutorial on YouTube to find out how to create this wedding day hairstyle and how to secure these prettiest of fresh flowers
