When preparing for the wedding, the bride must think through all the details of her wedding look: from the wedding dress and accessories to makeup and hairstyle. And in the latter, it is important not only how beautifully the hair is styled, but also how it is decorated.
Since ancient times, fresh flowers have been considered the main decoration of a bride: delicate, sophisticated, fragrant... And still many girls choose this particular material to create a romantic wedding look. And we are talking not only about the bouquet, but also about decorating the wedding hairstyle. And it’s not surprising, because fresh flowers add special tenderness and femininity to the bride’s image. Let's figure out together what options there are for floral accessories for wedding hairstyles and which one to choose.
Still haven't decided on your wedding hairstyle? Then our article “Wedding hairstyle: finding the perfect option” will be useful to you.
Styling with floral headbands
A hairstyle with a headband of flowers is considered universal - it looks equally good on both glamorous fashionistas and modest romantic girls. You can wear a floral headband on either loose or gathered strands. It is worn to the office and to the cinema, to the gym or store. If you prefer massive baroque-style hoops, saturated with bright elements, put your hair in a ponytail or backcomb it. Just don’t overdo it, otherwise the image will turn out pompous. But that's not all! This charming accessory suits hair of any length - from bobs to long braids.
Hairstyles with flowers on clips
Clips or hairpins with fresh flowers look gentle, romantic and incredibly cute. They will be a good addition to a light summer outfit and will make your look airy. These hairpins can be used both for daily wear and for creating a festive hairstyle. The clip with a flower on the bride’s hairstyle is no less beautiful.
Styling with floral headbands
A headband with a flower, tied around the head or woven into a braid, will create a romantic look. You can also wrap a bun with a similar bandage - it will turn out stylish and beautiful. This same accessory is simply indispensable for creating Greek hairstyles, and wedding hairstyles with a floral headband look very elegant.
Classic bridal bouquet
The bride's traditional wedding bouquet should be delicate and fit perfectly with the entire look.
Flowers should be chosen several shades darker than the dress itself, so that they successfully set off the white color of the bride’s outfit.
If you have an off-white dress, for example, ivory, then it is better to use bright shades: marsala, red or green.
Delicate shades of colors go perfectly with the bride’s white dress: beige, peach, pink, lavender and others.
Solid color wedding bouquets are trendy this year. They look very gentle and elegant. Such a bouquet, without a doubt, will suit only a true aristocratic lady.
The wedding bouquet should be combined with the groom's boutonniere, then the images of the future spouses will be harmonious.
The bride's wedding bouquet can be made with flowers such as roses and violets, lilies and orchids, peonies and daisies, freesias and chrysanthemums, daisies and lisianthus.
To make the wedding bouquet lush and beautiful, florists combine several types of flowers.
Brides who believe in superstitions may want to avoid using flowers such as gladioli, calla lilies and carnations in their floral arrangements.
Many people believe that these flowers in a wedding bouquet can bring misfortune into the life of a married couple.
It is also a bad omen to decorate the bride's bouquet with ferns and palm leaves, as they attract bad luck.
According to legends, you cannot use a wedding bouquet with several levels, because there will be disagreements in a young family, which can lead to a break in the marriage.
However, for many, such signs are just folklore that does not affect anything, so brides are happy to choose cascading bouquets, thinking only about a future happy life with their loved one.
If you want to have a wedding in a traditional style, then it is better to choose a wedding bouquet in a spherical or hemispherical shape, since the shape of the bouquet is associated with the life of the newlyweds together.
If you have chosen the tone and flowers, then you need to assemble the wedding bouquet into a single whole. For this, gypsophila, asparagus, and aspidistra are used.
To transform the bride's wedding bouquet, florists complement the composition with various ribbons, beads, brooches and other small elements.
It is best to use a satin ribbon, because it symbolizes the purity of the relationship and the evenness of the newlyweds' family life.
Flower with veil
This retro accessory, mesmerizing in its beauty, can be easily attached to hair of any length. Thanks to a variety of shades, you can create unforgettable looks every day. By the way, the most famous fan of this accessory is Gwen Stefani, who has long been recognized as one of the most sophisticated and elegant women in the world.
Peculiarities
Floral arranging in a wedding hairstyle is an excellent opportunity to create a complete look, so you should approach its choice very carefully. The buds in your hair simply have to echo the bouquet in your hands and create the final touch for a thematic image. Although flowers, especially fresh ones, are more capricious than jewelry or ribbons, they look much more luxurious.
Hair color
For brunettes, brown-haired women, and redheads, light, pastel shades are perfect, emphasizing the copper or chocolate shine of the hair. If you want to use bright colors with this color of curls, then choose no more than 2-3 pure shades, otherwise the image will turn out to be too chaotic. The exception is monochrome, in which all the colors of the rainbow flash like little stars. This multicolored look looks best in a field wreath on a green background.
As for blondes, they should not choose too light shades that get lost in their hair - the hairstyle will be too modest for a festive occasion. Pastel blue, mint, pink or bright rich tones are perfect for golden or ashy strands.
Important! Hair structure also matters. The thicker the hair, the better small buds will look in it. Thin hair, on the contrary, loves large, noticeable, textured flowers.
Plant species
A variety of flowers are used for wedding hairstyles. Roses, orchids, lilies, and alstroemerias (miniature lilies) are considered classics. But modern fashion does not follow standards and restrictions, so you can often see very bold and unexpected options in the hair of brides, for example, giant single daisies or small sunflowers.
Three main rules of hair stylists remain in the trends of recent years:
- Wildflowers fit perfectly into wreaths;
- Large peonies or gerberas look great as a single bright accent behind the ear or on an updo;
- Miniature branches wonderfully complement a messy bun or Greek hairstyle.
Hairstyles with a wreath
The wreath can easily be called the most ancient female decoration. Hairstyles with a wreath of flowers will be appropriate during summer holidays, walks or hikes. This decoration can be combined with a chiffon sundress, a stylish evening outfit, and even jeans and a T-shirt.
Styling with a crown of flowers
This truly royal piece of jewelry is worn in the form of a crown. Of course, it is completely unsuitable for every day, but for special occasions it is just right.
Weaving with flowers
Flowers woven into braids are among the most difficult hairstyles to achieve. To secure them well and harmoniously weave them into braids, you need true talent. Use bobby pins, pins or even ribbons with ready-made compositions. The weaving itself can be very different. Try a fishtail, a loose braid on the side or even a spikelet - any of these options will look luxurious and create the image of a sensual Slavic young lady, sung by great poets.

Flowers in small scattering
Small white buds, distributed throughout the head in small scattering, look very beautiful. They are attached to individual strands using bobby pins. This delicate hairstyle is often done for a wedding - fresh flowers represent innocence, purity and freshness.

Bunches of flowers
This fashionable idea is used not only for every day, but also for evening outings. It would also be suitable for a graduation or wedding. You can easily make a bun yourself. Place it high on the top of your head, lower it to the back of your head, or move it to the side - it’s all up to you. As for the texture, both a sleek and fluffy bun harmonizes well with flowers.
Advice from florists and stylists
The choice of bouquet depends on the style of the celebration, but the bride’s build and her outfit also matter. Stylists recommend listening to the following rules:
- Tall brides with a slender build can complement the image with a lush cascading composition, cascading down from their hands.
- A straight-cut dress will complement a beautiful mono-bouquet of a vertical silhouette on long stems. The look will be elegant, modest, but luxurious. The same option would look appropriate with a cool trouser suit, as well as a mini one.
- For short girls in an A-line dress, compact round bouquets of soft colors are suitable.
- Girls of average build should opt for large bouquets in which the flowers hang slightly.
- Brunettes usually choose bright color combinations, while blondes choose pastel ones. But you can create a contrasting image by “switching roles.”
- Brown-haired women should choose flowers of warm colors (cream, peach, tea).
- Cascading bouquets look best with classic dresses (narrow bodice and full skirt).
Florists believe that a bouquet can and should convey the character of the bride:
- A calm and balanced girl can choose a round bouquet of roses in white and pink tones.
- For a shocking nature, creatively shaped compositions (butterfly, fan, umbrella, ring) in Marsala, yellow, red or purple colors are suitable
- A young lady should consider romantic light flowers, such as peonies or a wildflower bouquet.
- Mature ladies should select based on their individuality. It is best to focus on bright buds and an unusual bouquet shape.
A bouquet for a wedding should be given maximum attention, because it makes the bride’s image complete, adds aristocracy and sophistication. Be sure to choose a composition emphasizing the character and external features
But it is also important to combine colors correctly and take into account the symbolism of plants
Greek styling with flowers
The services of florists are often used to create sophisticated hairstyles in the Greek style. The simplest styling variation for medium hair is the Greek bun, for which the strands along the entire length are first curled with an iron, and then gathered into a low, loose bun and secured with hairpins. A few curls are left near the face to emphasize the oval. At the final stage you need to pin the flowers.
A braid made from several small braids also looks no less beautiful. This fresh, unconventional look will surely appeal to those with medium to long hair. And the last option in the style of Ancient Greece is a headband of one or more braids. The tip of such a headband can be secured with a hairpin with a beautiful large flower.
Big flower in hair
A girl with such an accessory will not go unnoticed. Think about the shade - the bud should stand out against the background of the strands, and not merge with them. Today, not only live jewelry, but also chiffon jewelry is in great demand. The latter are often attached in the form of a cap.
What flowers to choose?
When looking at photos of similar hairstyles and choosing something for yourself, remember three important rules:
1. Flowers taken for styling should be combined with the shade of the hair:
- Brunettes - bright red or white;
- Blondes – pink, pale yellow, purple, scarlet;
- Brown-haired women – pink or peach.
2. Buds must correspond not only to the image, but also to the character of the woman. So, rich tones will suit cheerful girls with laughter, but calm, romantic young ladies are better off choosing delicate pastel shades.
3. Pay attention to the hidden meaning of colors:
- Freesia – beauty and youth;
- Orchid – purity and innocence;
- Lily - tenderness.
4. And the last thing is the combination with clothes. For example, a bright flower will go well with a red outfit, and light flowers will harmonize perfectly with a pastel-colored dress.
Flowers in hairstyles - application features
Having decided to make a hairstyle with flowers in your hair, familiarize yourself with the main features of their use:
- Fresh flowers must first be treated with a special composition that will prevent them from withering;
- They need to be attached only after using a styling product;
- Evaluate the aroma - too strong a smell can cause headaches;
- Choose flowers of the same shape;
- When creating floral compositions, the smallest buds are placed at the temples, and large flowers are attached along the length. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise your head will look like a flowerbed;
- If your styling contains fairly large elements, then the flowers should be the same;
- But for small curls or weaves, it is preferable to take small buds;
- Do not use too many flowers in one installation, especially if they are of different varieties;
- Inflorescences are attached to long hair with silicone rubber bands;
- If you need to place them at the roots, make a small backcomb, insert a stem there and secure with a bobby pin;
- Living flowers fade very quickly, so keep a few fresh buds in reserve to replace the faded decor in time;
- Artificial jewelry also needs care. They need to be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt. Most often, special means are used for this. Felt flowers are steamed and the buds are given the required shape, and felted decorations are protected from moths.
Where to buy fresh flowers for styling?
It is better to order flowers for special occasions from professional florists. In the store they undergo special processing, which allows the inflorescences to be fresh until the end of the holiday.

How to prepare a flower yourself?
If you wish, you can make your own floral hair decoration.
- Step 1: Using a sharp knife, cut the stem at a 45-degree angle. Forget about scissors - they pinch the stem, and this makes it difficult for water to flow. The length of the stem should be equal to the length of the bud.
- Step 2. Place the flower in water with a special composition. You can buy ready-made or prepare it at home (a little sugar in 0.5 liters of water or an aspirin tablet).
- Step 3. When the installation is ready, dip a piece of cotton wool into this solution and wrap it around the stem along with the cut.
- Step 4. Wrap green floral tape on top.
Secrets of the image
The central element of the image is always the dress, and it’s worth thinking through the remaining details, starting from it. Flowers in the hair do not oblige you to anything, and the dress can be absolutely anything, but several options look especially good:
Lush floor-length dress. In combination with large living buds, it will create a very regal image of the bride. Light airy curls will fit especially well here, which will make you even more beautiful.
Straight narrow style. You can use smaller wildflowers and ribbons with it.
Dress in Greek style. This begs for a wreath with the addition of laurel and mint, which will not only fit perfectly into the image, but will also surround the bride with a sophisticated fragrance.
It is better to choose simple shoes, without unnecessary decoration, since flowers in the hair are quite sufficient decoration. Shoes with ribbons around the ankles look interesting, emphasizing the fragility and elegance of the bride’s legs.
In our case, it is better to be careful with jewelry and choose laconic models. Neat products made from natural pearls go best with flowers. The final touch will be adding flowers to the bride’s hairstyle. The photos will turn out irresistible.
Artificial or live?
Which flowers are better to use for wedding styling – artificial or real? It is quite difficult to answer this question unequivocally, because each option has its own pros and cons.
Artificial flowers:
- They definitely won’t wilt during the evening;
- presented in a variety of shades and types, including those that cannot be found in nature;
- cheaper.
Imitations are made from polymer clay, fabric, felt, and plastic. High-quality artificial flowers are practically indistinguishable from natural ones, and they have no aroma. This will be a plus if you don’t want flowers to overpower your favorite perfume.
If you prefer everything natural, then even skillful silk buds will seem imperfect. In this case, you should pay attention to living buds - fresh, tender and so romantic.
But fresh flowers have their disadvantages:
- pollen and odor that can cause allergies;
- rapid fading;
- fragility.
Both options will fit equally well into a wedding hairstyle, so it’s better to choose according to your own feelings.
For long curls
The owner of luxurious long hair can afford any styling. For fluffy curls, the ideal decoration option is a wreath of fresh or artificial flowers. For a wedding in a boho, rustic or ethnic style, a wreath is the main decoration of the bride. It makes the girl look like a charming forest fairy. In spring and summer, preference can be given to fresh flowers: spray roses, orchids, chrysanthemums. In autumn, berries look beautiful in a wreath. If it is a themed wedding, you can add bright autumn leaves to the decoration.
In winter, wreaths made of artificial flowers are used, but if the bride wants to emphasize her beauty with quivering living buds, it is better to take small red roses, cotton flowers, hypericum berries, and young branches of nobilis. Among the snow-white bedspread, living scarlet roses simply stun with their daring beauty. This option is suitable for mature and decisive women.
To attach a wreath of living red buds to long hair, you need:
- curl the curls, make a root backcomb on the top of the head;
- try on the dress and determine how it will look;
- along the lines where the wreath lies, separate the hair, gather it up and pin it with a clip;
- put on a wreath and make sure that it does not pinch the strands, but lies tightly and beautifully;
- making sure that the wreath is in the right place, strengthen it with the help of invisible pins, pinning them overlapping each other in the occipital area;
- The collected hair can be lowered and styled in flowing curls, or you can make a braid; a voluminous Greek braid will also look very harmonious with a wreath.
A win-win wedding hairstyle for long hair is a fluffy side braid with small monochromatic flowers or a French shell decorated with a large flower. These models make a woman's face open and look great at photo shoots.
