And a Flower in Her Hair!

And a Flower in Her Hair!

So, I guess by now you would like to know what I am wearing in my hair? The plan is for a veil (more on that soon!) for the duration of the ceremony and, of course, the photographs. However, when we arrive at the reception I think a veil trailing one metre behind the train on my dress (which will actually be bustled) will just be asking for trouble. I can imagine it just being completely ripped out of my hair! Also, the one thing I really want to keep to have available for my potential daughter/daughter-in law/grandaughter would be my veil. I know that my dress will be worthless to keep, because there is absolutely no way I would have fit into, let alone worn, my mother’s wedding dress!

So, will I go naked for the reception? My hair, that is…not a chance!!! I love a hair flower as much as the next guy (or girl), and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to change my outfit up into a slightly more casual look for the reception.

So, whilst I absolutely LOVE this option…

…the seller is no longer making it in ivory—it only comes in white, peach, and berry, none of which really go with our colour palette…bummer, dude.

So, I continued my search on Etsy and came across this little gem that I love, but I just wasn’t crazy about the many tiny beads in the centre of the flower because they look like they contrast quite a bit? A little research told me the beads can be done in ivory/champagne to make them a little subtler. The flower itself is also a very good size. I love the little pieces of tulle incorporated into the flower; they will tie in nicely with my dress!

I actually really like the way both girls have their hair done. Might need to print these pictures off for my hair trial!

Sometimes I wish there was a shop called Etsy, with all this great stuff, that was just down the street from me, and I could just drop in and make a decision! Mind you, then I would be there all the time and I would have absolutely NO money!

That’s a gorgeous hair flower right there. I got my inspiration from Mrs. Cupcake for hair flowers (and a whole bunch of other stuff too!) You are going to look nice with that in your hair. I’m sorry you don’t have etsy near you. I’m sure shipping to Australia gets pretty expensive

Love that hair flower! I’m having a cathedral veil for the ceremony/photos and swapping it out for a hair flower during the reception, just like you! Except I keep wondering if I should buy one or try to DIY it. Hmmmm….

Those are so pretty! I too would love a real Etsy store too, think of all the prettiness!

A real Etsy store would be soooo dangerous for my wallet. That hair flower is gorgeous!

Those are both beautiful choices! I was set on a hair flower until I bought my dress, then my vision for my look changed quite a bit (it’s pretty fancy-schmancy ). I’ll be wearing a fingertip veil for the ceremony/photos, then swapping it out for a decorative hair comb with pearls and crystals.

Just an FYI, there is an etsy seller based out of Australia. Check her out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/percyhandmade. I’m seriously considering buying my hair flower from her… her items are beautiful!

Best of luck on your hunt for the perfect flower!

Such a beautiful hair flower! I’m totally with Mrs. Tartlet on this one, a real Etsy store would break my poor bank.

I had an Ivory flower (two actually) I could loan you - shipped from Etsy which DID take ages.

I think a hair flower will be lovely for the reception. Just make sure it’s really secure so you don’t have BMs scouring all over to find it if it falls out!
