DIY Wedding: Floral Hair Accessories

Flowers are one of the best accessories any day of the year, but weddings are the perfect excuse to add some of nature’s stunning beauty to your hair. This gallery will show you the basics of creating hair accessories for brides, bridesmaids and flower girls.

To create your floral hair combs you will need a basic hair comb in a size appropriate to the weight and size of the flower, as well as the weight of your hair. If you have thin hair you may want to use a smaller comb and lighter, smaller flowers. If you have thick hair you can use a larger comb with more flowers. You’ll also need floral wire and wire cutters, and you may want to use floral tape. And of course you’ll need flowers!

Begin by securing the wire to the hair comb. Use pliers to tuck the sharp, cut end of the wire under itself, and be sure to place the cut ends on the top of the comb so they don’t scratch your head.

Continue by attaching your base elements to the comb, usually some sort of greenery. We used fern leaves. Wrap the wire around the comb and the leaf, in between the teeth of the comb.
