Floral Hair Accessories

The traditional look of a veil and tiara is no longer the only choice to dress up your hair on your big day. Brides now are being more original and keeping their look beautiful with more informal accessories such as hair pins, alice bands and corsages in the form of beautiful delicate flowers. This look is great for brides who want to steer away from stuffy formality and express their own individuality. I’ve taken a look at the high street for some of the best bargain choices.

Good old Accessorize has gorgeous hair accessories galore in any style that you could possibly wish for. My favourite is this pale pink organza flower clip for just £7. It would look beautiful clipped behind one ear with long flowing hair for a destination beach wedding. A perfectly feminine look for those girly princesses among you.

For something a bit more sophisticated, how about this stunning hairband by designer Ben de Lisi (the creator of Kate Winslet’s breathtaking red Oscar gown with floral strap). Available at Debenhams for just £14 it features two lovely cream roses made of fabric attached to a metallic gold hairband. Perfect for a quick, no- hassle hair do. Just slip it on and you are good to go, looking more gorgeous than ever.

Finally, for something a little different, how about this cute felt hair tie from Cath Kidston? Priced at an amazing £6.50, it is available in two colours: blue and red. With two cute felt flowers and a couple of green felt leaves, this is ideal for something a little fun and adorable. If you’re hair is going up just stick it around your hair do. If, however, you were planning to wear your hair down it is easy to adapt this. Snip the band off and use a glue gun to stick a clip on the back. You can then slide it in for a more versatile look.

Floral hair accessories are a lovely, cute way to add a pretty touch to your look. Ideal for brides who want a relaxed style all year around.
