Wearing Flowers in Your Hair

It doesn't get more romantic than wearing a fresh flower in your hair. With more brides choosing to wear something other than a veil for their wedding, fresh flowers are a great option.  But there are so many flowers to choose from, how do you decide?  Here are some things to consider:

1) The flower will be out of water, so you need to choose a variety that will not easily wilt.

2) You will be doing a lot of hugging, so you need a flower that is hardy enough to withstand being squished a bit.

3) The size of bloom matters.  Not too large that it over powers your face and not too small that you cannot see it.

Flowers that I like to recommend to brides are orchids and roses.  Both do well out of water, can withstand hugging (within reason) and come in a variety of colors and sizes. You can pinned them directly into your hair using bobby pins or have them attached to a hair comb.  Here are a few images to get you started, provided by The Knot.
