Fresh Flowers for Wedding Hair





Before you know it, the Spring and Summer wedding season will be upon us . A really nice look for warm weather weddings is a hairstyle adorned with fresh flowers. Not only does the perfume of the flowers add to the whole romance of the day, but flowers placed strategically in the hair and matched with the wedding colors add a fabulous finishing touch detail to the whole affair.

Not all flowers are suitable to use as hair accessories. Some flowers hold up better than others, and some flowers may cause allergic reactions when in contact with the scalp for long periods of time. Your florist should be able to suggest which flowers are best for use in your hair. Your wedding day hair stylist will also be quite familiar with which flowers have proven to work well in the hair.

A really great idea is to coordinate the hair flowers to be in sync with the bridal bouquet. How pretty would it be to have a bouquet of purple roses, for example, and then have miniature purple roses incorporated into a fabulous updo style?

Another idea is to have the flower colors contrast with the dress. If the bridesmaids are in a dark colored gown, like black or navy, then a red or pink rose in the hair would look beautiful as a hair accessory.

No matter what look you are going for, using flowers in your hair for a wedding is a very romantic and classic look.

Two examples of flowers in a bride's hair are shown above, with the one on top being from yours truly, the hair stylists of Gaude & Gold.
