Weddings are the perfect opportunity to put flowers in your hair and go about like a queen. Although the gajra flower is a very common floral accessory used traditionally by brides for Indian weddings, you might have gotten bored of the same jasmine and marigold wreaths adorning your hair. So, here are some ideas to add color to your bridal updo and pop off in style.

 

The brilliance of the color red truly makes it stand out, especially in red roses- the quintessential bridal flowers. Try out these captivating buns wrapped with gorgeous rose petals and baby’s breath and other minor floral additions. You can also opt for artificial petals or roses and decorate them with golden beads or other metallic jewelry for a regal appearance.

 

 

Pastels will never let you down. Incorporate them into your wedding updo with variations of baby’s breath, lilies, carnations, rose petals, daisies and other florals in soft, frilly textures that look purely angelic and lend a classy, modern twist to your traditional getup.

 

 

Dainty blooms, when coordinated well, can liven up your hairstyle with their interesting texture and contrasting colors. Pair up cute little flowers, stalks or the rarer shades of the ones commonly used, such as the pink baby’s breath or tinted jasmine to shroud your buns or in a flower veni.

 

 

Here are some more mesmerizing options in hues of red that you’d love to try. Pair crimson blooms with lighter flowers for a gorgeous contrasting look that exudes cheer and effervescence. Or go all red in a simple yet charming hairdo. Baby’s breath works wonderfully as a filler flower and lends more volume and complexity to your bun.

 

 

Marigolds aren’t the only yellow flowers out there. Experiment with hues of this warm color to brighten up your entire look. Another interesting way to add color to your hairdo is by using different shades of the same flower. This works wonderfully with roses, carnations and daisies. You can also create a riveting pattern with just two shades or opt for spray-painted blooms that are bicolored as per your desire.
