You may wish to include fresh flowers in your hair or as part of a headdress to harmonise with the flowers in your bouquet. Your florist and hairdresser should be able to advise both on ways to use flowers and on types which will last the longest. Flowers chosen should ideally look as fresh at the end of the day as they did at the start of the ceremony.

One effective idea is to wire tiny rosebuds and thread these into your hair  a technique which could be used with many other flowers, individually and in small clusters. If you’d like flowers in your hair but don’t want to risk them wilting in the sunshine, you could look at tiaras and circlets made with delicate enamel flowers or consider silk. It is also possible to find unusual tiaras made from beautiful wax flowers.
