Flowers in her Hair

Wedding Ideas

This shoot was totally the kind of experience that made us want to pinch ourselves. It was a really spontaneous event where everything came together so beautifully we could hardly stand it. We really can’t believe how lucky we are to get to work with such talented people. We’ve been dying to share these images from Jose Villa!

We knew we wanted to shoot outside–despite the winter weather–and keep things very natural and soft and feminine. And we wanted to explore some ways to use flowers in a bridal look. Here you’ll find some very attainable ideas and alternatives to wearing a veil. Not that we have anything against veils, we just thought flowers might be nice, too! If this is something you’d like to try, all you have to do is keep your hair and make up very natural and soft and look for delicate blooms to grace your hair. We think you’ll look divine!

The models look beautiful, but I think that I would feel super goofy wearing something like that on my head.

Wow! I love this. I’m so tired of birdcage veils. It is so refreshing to see something different.

Hey Elizabeth

The shoes were actually purchased for $40 from a vintage shop here in Georgia. I would check ebay or etsy for a similar style. Ive especially been seeing a lot oxfords on etsy lately. Hope this helps!

In 1978 I wore a wreath of minature yellow roses, daisies and baby’s breath in my hair instead of a veil. I loved the look. Right before my dad walked me down the aisle, he said, “You look really nice honey, but what is that thing on your head?” I still laugh to this day!
