My Hair Trial PIP

On Friday I had my hair trial and I really like everything except it turns out the flower I bought off Etsy doesn't match my dress :( I love the flower, but it is much too white while my dress is more of a diamond white. Here is the pic with the flower:

and here is a pic of the back

I am thinking of purchasing another flower like this one (CLICK) or this one (CLICK). What do you think? Do you think those will look better or should I just stick with the white flower? Here is a pic of my dress (before alterations)

I am also tinking of replacing the bow on the sash with a matching flower too, if I can find the right one.

    Your hair came out GREAT!  I really love it.

    I would try to match your hair flower to the veil and dress as best you can otherwise the bright white flower may stick out, colorwise.  Just my opinion, though.

    I LOVE your hair! It is gorgeous and very similar to what I want for mine! I agree with Kate about the flower needing to match your veil and dress. I'm a little worried about mine matching too.

    Pretty Hair!! I think I like the second flower better, but whichever one you think will match the color of your dress better is what I'd go with.

    Your hair came out great!! I like both flowers, but since I like the bling I would go for the 1st one myself. However, since it looks like your dress is lace I would go for the 2nd one since it looks more delicate to compliment your dress.

    ahhhhhhhh I LOVE your hair - it's absolutely gorgeous and romantic!!

    I agree, I think that it might look a bit off if you have a white-white flower in your hair while your dress is more ivory.  I actually really like the second flower that you posted - I think it would look great with your dress!!

    I don't think you need to worry about ivories matching PERFECTLY - as long as you are using various shades of ivory that are close to each other, no one will notice.

    I LOVE your hair!!! It's a bummer that the flower doesn't match the dress though. I think the 2nd flower would match better.

    Now I'm worried about my hair pin- I hope it matches! Thank god for trails, huh?? :)

    Wow your hair looks amazing! I love it!

    I don't think the colors have to match perfectly, just try to get them as close as you can. I like the first flower link the best.

    Thanks! I was thinking I should just go ahead and order another flower, it's just so hard to tell if colors will match online and I have not found any I liked in stores. You're probably right about it not having to match perfectly but hopefully I can find something close.

    I love your hair! And I have nothing new to add, except that I agree with PPs - they don't need to match perfectly, especially since you're blonde. No one will notice slightly different shades, so long as it's not bright white with ivory, or vice versa.
