Much like many brides before me, I am super excited about wearing a hair flower in my hair. I even talked about it with my six year old niece, who also happens to be my flower girl. We were having a discussion about how to wear our hair for the wedding. No, seriously, we were––this girl knows fashion and has picked out my outfits on more than one occasion, and I typically gets compliments when she does. I’m talking entire outfit: dress, shoes, jewelry, and purse. One of my bridesmaids even commented that my niece has a closet she can only hope for and that she often ends up looking more trendy than the rest of us.
Anyway, so back to talking about our hair. I asked her how she wanted to wear her hair and she mentioned that she wanted to wear a flower in her hair. I gave her a big high five and told her that I too wanted to wear one! So me and my fashionista niece started talking about what said flowers might look like, and then we got into how many we should wear. I’m somewhat terrified of the oversized hair flower. Listen, some girls can pull it off and it looks amazing, adorable even. I don’t think that I’m one of those girls, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t see them and dream. Here’s one that I love:
I sent this very picture to a bridesmaid and asked her if she thought it might look too big on me. She didn’t think so, and I decided to convo the Etsy seller. The problem was, the Etsy seller wasn’t very responsive. On to the next one…
I took the non-responsiveness to mean that maybe I should reconsider the single, large flower and start looking for smaller, double flowers (plus, my niece thought more was better, and I like to listen to her). So then I found this one:
And these:
So what do you think? Do you like the double flower? Or do you think the single flower is the way to go? The little ones have such adorable names like ’sweet pea’; it’s sort of hard for me to pass that up!
Oh, and just because I know you’re asking yourself—what the heck does that sweet little girl look like? I’ll leave you with this photo of both my nieces in their flower girl outfits.

you know, I value the opinions of little ones as well. they’re just really honest, and have an unbiased viewpoint. My brothers are 10, 12, 16, and they tell me how it is. I wish I had a girl I could ask these girly q’s to, though 
oh my goodness, your nieces are too cute for words! i love the flowers and think they’ll look great either way you end up going.
I love both flowers…the big single bloom or the two smaller ones. But more importantly…how cute are your nieces?!! I love little fashionistas! My daughter is the same way…totally into setting up the “perfect” outfit. Heck, she dresses better than I do!
@thefuturemrsjewell: Thank you!! I have such a good time with them!
@bunnylovesbear: Thanks! Yes, it’s amazing, it’s something that’s just in some kids. It’s so fun to see!
Such cute little girls. I say big flower, because if you’re on the fence about them now you’ll probably never have another chance to wear one.
aww, they remind me of my nieces! all 3 of them. man, they’re a handful at times are they? lol.
now the flowers, i don’t think you can go wrong either way. i’m partial to the one flower but that’s just me. the smaller bunches would look just as fab!
That’s so cute and sweet! I love it - those flowers are awesome!
Your FGs are gorgeous! I like the big, giant flower look, personally!
Have you thought about having a real flower in your hair? My best friend just did it with a peonies and it was so pretty.
Hey!
Just my 2 cents… In painting, decorating, and all things pretty, symetry is not always the way to go. They say you should always put elements in uneven numbers to achieve harmony. So I’d say, go for one big flower… or three small ones 
Lol! I love that your flower girl/niece is a little fashionista. :p
wow they’re so cute & pretty!
i prefer the single flower.
Your nieces are so unbelievably beautiful! Love the soft little flowers!
Haha your niece is the coolest 6 year old on the planet!!
Both those little girls are so adorable…
I love your niece! Little ones are always the most honest too! But I love the idea of more than one smaller flowers building up into a larger flower. Go with many small ones…that way if you want to bring in other colors you can
I love the sweet peas flowers! And your nieces are just too cute!

About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
