Tips for wearing real flowers in your hair
Lately, many of my clients are opting to wear real flowers in their hair instead of a more formal headpiece. I have to admit that I love this look. I think there are few things more beautiful than a warm weather bride with an orchid in her hair. But this isn’t the easiest thing to pull off, so I thought I would give you a few tips to make sure it works for you.
The first tip is to have the florist attach a little vial of water to the end of the stem that will keep the flower looking fresh. If you don’t have that, the flower will definitely wilt and brown in the heat.
The second tip is to make sure that you have two or three extra flowers on hand. Have them kept in a cool place (a refrigerator is possible), so you can replace them through out the night. Even flowers that have a vial of water will start to look less than perfect if it’s been bumped into (think about all of those hugs of congratulations you will be getting!).
And the last tip is to make sure that one of your bridesmaids watches the hairdresser as they place it in your hair the first time. Have them explain how to replace it without messing up the entire hairdo.
Do you have any questions about how to wear this look? Let me know, I want to hear from you!
Best,
