Choosing your wedding hairstyle can feel a lot like putting the finishing touch on your overall bridal beauty look. In reality, though, your hairstyle is just as important as all of those other elements. If you're looking for a way to make the hairstyle you're considering feel extra special, it's time to consider fresh floral accents. No, we're not talking about flower crowns (although those are pretty, too). If you're not the type of bride who wants to wear a full headpiece of blooms, know that you don't have to. You can add as few or as many of your favorite flowers to your hairstyle as you want, lending just the right hint of color, texture, and freshness to your look.

Just take the following hairstyles, worn by brides at their real-life celebrations, for example. They not only prove that florals take your locks to new heights, but also affirm that there's a way to incorporate buds into any type of style. Wearing your hair loose and wavy? Loop in a lightweight sprig to tuck up one side. If you've settled on a classic updo, adding two or three creamy roses above a chignon or low bun is the way to go. As for a braided look, consider working anything from baby's breath to andromeda into your plaited style.

Not all floral hairstyles, of course, involve fresh buds. If you're searching for a hairpiece that's a little more durable—and one that is going to stay put as you dance the night away—opt for silk, metal, or crystal varieties.
