Good flowers for wedding hair?

Hi,





I am thinking that when I get married I would like to have real flowers in my hair. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but would anybody know what kinds of flowers would be good for this? Obviously they need to be kind of strong and would need to look nice without being in water for extended periods of time. Any ideas?





I like plumeria, gardenia (perhaps too strong a scent though?), and maybe roses but any other suggestions? Or does anybody know if these are ok to use?





Thanks :)Good flowers for wedding hair?
You're on the right track and gardenia wouldn't be too fragrant. A big trend right now is to use one big flower (like a gardenia) on just one side of your head as opposed to a wreath of flowers. It looks more modern but if you wanted to stick to tradition, have a florist show you examples of different styles that he or she can create. Just tell them what kind of flowers you like (plumeria, gardenia and roses) and I'm pretty sure they can design something that you'll absolutely love.





Stephanotis (note that this is a really pricey flower but has a really pretty fragrance and can hold up pretty well), orchids, stargazer lilies and even ranunculus would be really sturdy flowers (along with the ones you mentioned) for headpieces. Best of luck!Good flowers for wedding hair?
I think gardenia would be an amazing choice, and it wouldn't be an overpowering scent.





I really like peonies as well, it's got lots of beautiful full layers, smells light and fresh, and can withstand being in your hair for a couple hours. The stems are nice and strong so it'd be easy to clip with a bobby pin

The clematis would be amazing as well, and would be a smaller dainty flower, smells pretty as well, likes the heat and sun, and would be strong enough for hair http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=ht鈥?/a>





Good luck, congrats!
You should wear amaryllis for a bright, tropical look. A gardenia would be best for a more classic look and stephanotises would look best should you choose to wear your hair down. Small red roses would look their best in a curly updo for a romantic look while a small white orchid would make a soft updo modern and relaxed.
stephanotis would look beautiful in hair whether its an updo or a down style, its a little white flower that looks like a star so you'd need more than one. good luck
lily? or orchid?
