30 Wedding Hairstyles with Flowers

The best hair accessory for a spring or summer bride? Flowers! Whether you picture yourself walking down the aisle wearing an updo, a half-up hairstyle, or wavy locks, wedding hairstyles with fresh (or faux) blooms are totally versatile.

For classic brides, try tucking a single flower into a chignon or high bun. Ladies looking to wear their hair down on their big day can pin just a few strands back and secure them with a bright, lush bloom for an utterly romantic vibe. And, of course, bohemian brides-to-be should try a flower crown on for size. Some brides choose to coordinate their wedding hair accessories with their bouquets while others opt for something totally different.

Scroll on to see some of our favorite flower-adorned wedding hairstyles for every bridal style.

Tucked here and there, roses and ranunculus seem to have sprung up naturally in this messy updo. This style is so whimsical and boho, it gives us all the storybook romance feels.

While certain flowers lend themselves to a floral hairstyle (like smaller blooms with a lot of texture), nearly any blossom can be incorporated into your wedding hairstyle. Try roses, orchids, gardenias, and other similar buds.

Frida Kahlo Braids

At her destination wedding in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, this bride wore a Frida Kahlo–style updo, accessorized with fresh orchids. We think braids make the perfect post for nestling a few buds into. Not only is this hairstyle stunning, but it is also rather pragmatic for a night of dancing. The braids can withstand quite a lot of movement, and the flowers can be anchored into them with pins so they won't budge as they would in a loose style.

A Floral Headband

Beaded headbands and coral-hued florals give off a playful vibe. We especially like how the oversized flowers were kept to the nape of the neck, anchoring the free-flowing hair without competing with the bride's face.

Simple Roses Make an Impact

Go bold with supersizing flowers as this bride did at her Maryland wedding. The pastel colors are a feminine choice for the oversized blooms and complement her sweet style.

If going for a bold floral touch in your hair, we suggest sticking to one type of flower and mixing the shades in lieu of an array of species that could overpower your look.
