Brides Guide to White Hair Flowers for Weddings

Thanks to Kate’s royal wedding, hair flowers are all the rage. White wedding hair flowers have always been popular for wedding hair pieces, but they seem to be more popular than ever since we saw Pippa’s beautiful hair piece with white lily of the valley flowers.

There are many sizes and styles of wedding hair flowers to choose from. The hairstyle will dictate which will look best. If the hairstyle is completely up, hairpins with attached flowers are a good option. Also, a hair comb is a great base for placing flowers and will hold them securely.

With a partially updo like Pippa’s, barrettes, bendini combs, or clips would hold the hair and flowers securely.

Scunci barrettes, ponytails, bow wraps, headbands, clips, and bendini combs make good bases for hair flowers. Simple florist’s wire bent into a circle is the perfect base for making a beautiful flower girl halo. Small flowers and leaves are taped or glued to the wire. A ribbon is a beautiful addition to cover where the ends meet.

To attach flowers to a hair accessory, they can be tied with florist wire, taped, or glued to any available hair accessory. It’s a very easy project and can be as simple as a single flower or as elaborate as a large wire flower arrangement. together like a corsage.

The type of flowers used can vary from silk, imitation or fresh. Real touch artificial flowers are so realistic that it is difficult to distinguish them from real flowers. If you choose fresh flowers, keep in mind that some flowers such as gardenias, tuberose and lilies have a stronger fragrance.

Dendrobium and oncidium orchids are beautiful floral hair pieces. They are very light and tend to stay in place well. If you are considering orchids as hairpieces, a good tip to save on cost is to buy an orchid and cut the flowers. The plant will bloom again and make a wonderful houseplant.

Keeping the floral hairpiece in place is easy if you remember a few techniques. For flower girls who can be quite active, a small braid on each side of the head and tied at the back to form a circle is a good base to tie the halo together. Use small bobby pins or alligator clips.

Richard Ward and James Pryce (Kate Middleton’s hairdressers) came up with an ingenious technique to keep her tiara in place. Her hair is slicked back on top with a small braid in the middle to create a base. The tiara was then sewn into place. This was an amazing invention. The seam keeps clothing and upholstery in place, so why not use it for our hair? The important thing is to have the look we want with the least amount of worry. If it works, why not use it?

If you’re wondering what kind of needle and thread to use, I suggest a large tapestry needle and strong thread, such as tapestry thread, in a color that matches the hair. Tapestry needles have a large eye for the thread and a blunt end to prevent accidental needle sticks. If the pile is very long and heavy, upholstery yarn can also be used.

White flowers for wedding hair are definitely in style and there are so many wonderful variations to delight brides and their attendees.
