🌸 Why I Love Adding Flowers to Wedding Hair

Jax • 22 October 2022

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and every detail counts—especially your hairstyle. Incorporating flowers into your bridal hair not only adds a touch of natural beauty but also complements your overall wedding theme. Whether you’re aiming for a boho, rustic, or vintage look, floral accents can elevate your style effortlessly.




💐 The Charm of Floral Hair Accessories

During the ceremony, guests often view the bride from behind. Adorning your hair with flowers ensures that every angle is picture-perfect. Flowers can be beautifully integrated under or over your veil, adding depth and elegance to your hairstyle.


You have the option to choose between real flowers that match your bouquet or high-quality artificial blooms that align with your colour scheme. Each choice offers its unique appeal, allowing for personalisation that reflects your style.



🌿 Techniques for Incorporating Flowers

Some stylists and florists prefer using wired flowers or pre-arranged clips. While these can be convenient, it’s essential to ensure they’re not too heavy or bulky, as they might not sit comfortably or securely in your hair.


Personally, I favor using loose flowers, individually pinned with bobby pins. This method allows for flexibility in placement and ensures the flowers stay in place throughout the day. For added sparkle, consider mixing in rhinestone or pearl pins, or incorporate greenery for a more rustic vibe.



🌸 Choosing the Right Flowers

When selecting flowers for your hair, consider smaller, lighter blooms that are more likely to stay in place and maintain their appearance. Some of my favorites include:


  • Daisies
  • Scabiosa
  • Hydrangea
  • Lisianthus
  • Astrantia
  • Orchids
  • Freesia
  • Sea Thistle
  • Gypsophila (Baby’s Breath)


These flowers not only look stunning but also hold up well throughout the festivities.


📸 Real-Life Inspirations

Here are some examples of hairstyles I’ve crafted, adorned with beautiful floral touches. These styles showcase the versatility and beauty that flowers can bring to bridal hairstyles.

💇‍♀️ Styling Ideas with Floral Accents


Bridal Updos: Flowers can be clustered together, woven through braids, or scattered around a low bun. This style offers a classic and elegant look.

Half-Up, Half-Down Styles: Ideal for brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls, this versatile style allows for creative placement of flowers, whether in a central arrangement or delicately placed throughout twists and braids.

Flower Crowns: For a truly rustic or bohemian feel, flower crowns make a bold statement. From simple gypsophila halos to elaborate arrangements, they can be tailored to suit your preference. However, be mindful of the crown’s weight and how it complements your chosen hairstyle.

🌼 Final Thoughts

Incorporating flowers into your wedding hair adds a timeless and romantic touch, enhancing your natural beauty and aligning with your wedding’s aesthetic. Whether you opt for fresh blooms or high-quality artificial flowers, the result is a stunning, personalized look that you’ll cherish in photos for years to come.
