Flowers will be everywhere this spring and summer! Drawing inspiration from nature, flowers are the perfect hair accessory. You can channel so many vibes, from Frida to Boho… for wedding, parties, picnics, or “just because…”.
“Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere…”, lyrics from the Cowsills’ 1967 hit song seems to speak to this trend. Who doesn’t remember making daisy chains as children, or marvelling at the beauty of other flowers in parks and gardens.? Today flowers and leaves are often used in decorating for festive occasions. Wedding and birthday settings are embellished by flowers arranged into centerpieces, bouquets, and corsages. Flowers grace everything from buttonholes to spacious ambiences with a pop of color and a waft of fragrance.
Flowers are the perfectly ephemeral hair accessory for any mood or occasion. They can be entwined into any sort of braid or chignon.Take your favorite color of blossoms and second your inner fairy by creating an ethereal crown to wear instead of a veil at a wedding. Decorate a headband with rich red and pink roses and add some bold make-up for a Frida Kahlo vibe. The possibilities are endless. Let your creativity bloom!
Brides abloom
Long and loose
Baby’s breath in loosely textured hair can be soooo romantic!
Updos and chignons
Classic bridal coifs are spectacular when they reflect the color theme of your wedding. Flowers can either encircle the chignon or delicately embellish it, emphasizing its intricacy.
The Hair Corsage!
This effect works especially well with lots of naturally textured hair. Your choice of flowers in your favorite hue can be attached to a comb so they stay in place on your special day.
Fairy tale flower crowns
Flowery crowns can be whimsical, magical or ethereal. The aura they lend to any look speaks volumes about you and your personality.
Flower equality…
Not all men may feel comfortable wearing flowers anywhere except a buttonhole in their jacket – but this look could be the perfect complement to a beautiful Boho bride!
Flowery Frida vibe
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo lived her life as she portrayed herself in her paintings – brimming with bold colors. Her brightly colored clothes and ever-present flowery headdresses are now as ubiquitously iconic as Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe. You can channel your inner Frida with headbands decorated with the fleur-du-jour – whatever blossoms and colors speak to you that day.
Wow!
Just three flowers… but what flowers! Hydrangeas are actually clusters of smaller flowers – one way to wear dozens of flowers in one go! What else do you need?
“Say it with flowers”
Sometimes, depending on the occasion and your personality, sometimes less is more. Maybe just three little roses, but of a vibrant vermilion hue. Or tiny white blossoms sprinkled through long, loosely textured locks. Three small pale pink flowers that contrast perfectly with rich chestnut curls. Or maybe, for International Women’s Day, just one sprig of mimosa stuck behind your ear!
