Fresh flowers are the season’s hottest accessory. Yes, the fresh floral fever is for real. The wedding season is upon us, and while your lehengas and sarees are all getting ready, fresh blooms are what you need to complete your outfit. We’ve all worn gajras in our hair at some point, and there’s no denying that the touch of romance fresh flowers add cannot be matched by any other hair accessory. Whether they’re tucked into a sleek bun for an evening reception or scattered through a soft braid for a daytime ceremony, they instantly lift the mood of any hairstyle. Their appeal lies in how adaptable they are. Weddings during the sultry summer months suit peonies, jasmine or lilies, while now that we’re entering winter, it calls for baby’s breath, tuberoses and small roses that stay fresh for longer. The celebrity endorsement of fresh flowers as hair accessories has us fascinated and in love with some of the looks. Actress Genelia Deshmukh absolutely slayed it when she wore a braid threaded with pink roses for a Diwali shoot. The good old gajra is often spotted on celebrities such as Deepika Padukone, Nayanthara and Keerthi Suresh. Even if your style leans minimalist, a single bloom tucked behind the ear or a fine headband of petals can make a subtle statement. Or you could tuck in a couple of roses, just like Sonam Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, for a playful and stunning look. Fragrance and a connection to nature are what fresh flowers bring to your style. And we all know that no plastic accessory can match that. Soft, whimsical and effortlessly regal, the fresh floral updo deserves a place in your wedding look. Pro tip: Keep your flowers fresh for longer by misting them lightly with water before you step out, and secure the stems with a few bobby pins. If you’re attending a long event, tuck a few extra blooms in a damp tissue and carry them in a pouch for a quick refresh. Next up, some celeb hair inspo. Take notes and maybe try a bloom or two yourself.
