I’ve talked before about how I want my hair to be on our wedding day—some sort of low chignon so that my hair is pulled back and out of my face all day. While I love when my hair is down, I know that for a day like our wedding I’m not going to want to have to deal with it at all once it’s done. This is still one of my favorite hair-spiration pictures:

I will probably do a smoother look in the front, but I like that the back is just a little messy so it still looks like natural hair rather than hair that’s been shellacked to within an inch of its life.

I’ve also shown you the veil that I will be wearing—as a reminder, it’s the same veil that my mom, her siblings, and my cousins have all worn.

But I also really want a hair flower to complete my look. I’m not planning on wearing the veil for too long after the ceremony because it’s so old and delicate and I would hate for anything to happen to it. So including a hair flower in my look means that I still have something pretty in my hair even after the veil comes off.

There have been so many great hair-flower tutorials around the web, including this one and this one. As much as I love those two (seriously, seeing Mrs. Buttons’s hair flower in action, it’s so gorgeous!), I wasn’t positive that was the type of hair flower I wanted to make for myself. It wasn’t until I saw the tutorial from Mrs. Frog showing the flower that her mom made that I realized the type of flower I wanted to make for myself—a chiffon ribbon flower like this one!

This flower actually attached to a sash on Mrs. Frog’s dress, but I think I can attach this to a comb and use it in my hair. The airiness of the chiffon is beautiful, and I think something like this could work better with my dress than if I were to create a hair flower like one of the other tutorials.

But of course I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I had to keep searching other options. And I found some beautiful options. Like this amazing one from the Silver Pencils Etsy shop (run by Mrs. Espresso):

Or how about these, which could be clustered together for a slightly different look?

Or a fuller flower with more petals like this one:

Aaaand now I don’t know what I want to do! I haven’t purchased the ribbon to make the first flower yet because I can’t decide if I want to make that one or buy a different one. Or do I want to buy material and try my hand at making a fuller flower myself? I really can’t decide. Did anyone else have this problem? What did you decide to do?
