Mrs. Hyena's Picture
Mrs. Hyena, College Station, TX Age and Occupation: 23, Marketing Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Aerospace Engineering Grad Student Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Downtown 202 About Me: I'm a Texas girl who met my future hubby in high school, then headed up to Oklahoma for a college education (BOOMER SOONER!) before moving back to the Lone Star State to be with him. I love reading and recycling, Photoshop and reality TV, making lame jokes and then laughing at them, quoting movies, and Mr. Hyena most of all. I'm perpetually early and I like to get things accomplished. When my cat meows at me, I meow back. We're planning a laid-back, unintentionally DIY wedding with a cocktail-party vibe, and can't wait to celebrate our nuptials with our nearest and dearest!
About Mrs. Hyena

I don’t know how this will work with my veil or whatever hairstyle I end up choosing, but I waahaahaaaaant a hair flower. I NEED one. I don’t know why, but I will not rest until I get one! I’ve yet to make any purchases from Etsy, but that was the first place I looked for some purty hair doodads, and here’s what I came up with:

Or maybe I want a little pop of color. Do I want a maroon pop? My shoes and bouquet are pink…

Oooh, shiny! I love them! I want them all!

How would you/did you pull off a hair flower with a veil? Both together? Hair flower only for the reception?

I did a flower and a veil (birdcage) for the ceremony, and then just the flower at the reception.

Your subject title is from Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You…correct?

I’m having my veil for the ceremony and flower for the reception. I think it will still look great with both veil and flowers!

I’m a fan of the ceremony veil and reception hair flower idea. You get to have two looks that way!

Love the 10 Things reference! I also like the veil for ceremony, flower for reception.

I’m wearing just the hair flower and forgoing a veil. I think it works nicely if you wear the veil on the back of your head and tuck the flower into the very top, or you could just wear it for the reception.

P.S. Etsy is awesome! My fiance bought his wedding band from an Etsy seller and it was a great experience!

I am going to go against the current trend and say where them together. Here is my evidence:

(Miss Coconut’s Veil with Hair Flower)

http://weddinghairstylegallery.com/v/beach-wedding-hairstyles/image+of+wedding+hairstyle+with+hair+clips+with+white+flowers+and+veil.jpg.html

There is a trend soft chingon at the nape of the neck, hair flower inserted in the side, and veil placed at the top of the head. All evidence was found using google image search (hair flower with veil).

I was so obsessed with hair flowers, but never got around to making mine and went without….I still wish I had stuck with my original plan of getting one.

I wore mine under a veil for the ceremony (I just couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without a blusher and I loved my flower) and without the veil for the reception.

I love the look of a hair flower with the veil! It’s so romantic. :)

The 3rd and 4th ones are my favorites, very pretty! I am not wearing a hair flower however, because I have a veil and tiara - 3 things might be too many!

I looooooove hair flowers. That may be why I ended up buying four of them, which is three more than I can use!

Oy, Hyena…you sure picked out some purrty ones. I too am convinced I need a flower for my hair. I, personally, dig the flower with a veil look!

I LOVE hair flowers! I just purchased a custom one that accents my dress and flowers that are going to be on my sash!

If you haven’t decided on one yet, I urge you to check out http://www.etsy.com/people/MeadowbelleMarket - that’s where I got mine.

Literally the BEST I’ve seen. Great customer service and amazing product! (: (And no I promise I don’t work there haha they are just really amazing at what they do!)

I bought one on Etsy, but didn’t like it when it came, so I made my own from a deconstructed silk flower from Michaels and some loose faux pearl beads I had lying around.

I wore both the flower and veil for the ceremony and photos (veil over top of flower and side bun) and then just the flower for the reception. Loved it!

Oh, I LOVE Virginia Geiger! I bought my bridal jewelry from her (pearly girl necklace & bracelet) and absolutely love them. VERY well made and stunning! I too have been thinking about the veil/hair flower dilema. For the ceremony I have a lovely cathedral veil, but it will come off for the reception…it’s just too long. Good luck making your choice!
