Is anyone having fresh flowers in thier hair?

Yes. I am!

The hairdresser I spoke to, said i have to get small 'tight' flowers.

I am have a couple of appointments booked with local florists over easter where i plan to talk to them about this. I want the flowers in my hair to match bouquet. I'm sure they will come up wsome ideas .........

How did they crushed from hugging? Mind i'm 6foot1, people don't get near my head, LOL

OMG. I hadn't realised until i replied to you and saw my ticker that its 6months exactly to go for me. eeek!

Lol!

She's a wee tot of a lady - just 5 foot tall - 1 hug from Great Uncle Bob and it was all over!!! :-) x

My MIL2B wants two pink carnations in her hair (random, I know). I spoke to my florist and she's going to get them fixed onto a wire which her hairdresser will then grip into place. Carnations are really hardy flowers, so they shouldn't wilt in her hair.... ?

Roses are also hardy provided they are not too open. Orchids (cymbidium) are also hardy too. Lilies are quite delicate so that's probably why they didn't last too long Head heat and delicate flowers don't really go too well together LOL!

I do advise brides to really think about having real flowers as more often than not they wilt and look awful by the end of the day. Two solutions are 1) use silk flowers, there are some very realisitc silk flowers around and they will look gorgeous all day 2) take them out after the reception and swap them for sparkly bits!

I do artificial hair flowers which you can wear after the wedding. They are a lot more reliable than silk.They are a lot better quality nowadays & it is hard to tell the difference, here are a few examples:
