Another
is to collect photos of your favorite pieces. You might just like one
feather from a photo and a flower from another. When you combine the two
ideas, you will have a unique flower for your hair.
Decide if you
want to use real touch faux flowers, fresh flowers, or fabric flowers.
Each option has its own unique charm and is sure to be a lovely flower
for your hair.
If you decide on fabric flowers, do you want to make your own and match your dress or would you like to purchase one online?
Making
your own flowers can be a very fun project and it is easy to do, but
you do have to have patience and enjoy crafting. If you don't, maybe you
have a relative or friend that will make it for you.

If you decide to purchase a ready made flower, they can be expensive depending on the quality.
Fabric
flowers can be easily attached to a hair comb or alligator clip by
sewing or gluing. A headband is another popular choice. It can be a thin
width band that is the color of your hair or a wider satin covered
headband.
Headbands will hold any flower choice in place and is a
comfortable accessory to wear. They can be worn by every female in the
bridal party including the flower girls.

Fresh flowers can be
easily attached to a hair comb or alligator clip with florist wire. It
is important to mist it and keep the flower in water and in a cool place
for as long as possible.
To make a fresh flower clip for your
hair, cut the stem very short. Insert a piece of florist wire through
the stem. Insert another wire across from the first one to form an X.
Bend the wires down to form a "stem" and wrap the wire with floral tape.
Attach to the clip or comb.
Headbands can also be decorated with
pearls, crystals, feathers, and flowers. A pave setting of crystals or
pearls can be glued onto a satin covered headband. This is a very
luxurious looking headband especially if the dress has the same
embellishments. Feathers or flowers can either be glued or sewn in
place.
As you can see, with a few supplies you really can create lovely one of a kind wedding flowers for your hair!
