I Need Advice! Floral Wreath for My Hair?

Hi ladies! I need your help desperately!

I have been looking at hairstyles for my upcoming wedding and I am repeatedly drawn to pictures where the hair is down in loose curls with a small floral wreath. Are these as out of style as they seem to be? I can barely find pictures of brides with them instead of flower girls, which makes me feel like I should find another style. Maybe like a laurel-wreath-inspired headband or something?

My wedding will be outside in the fall in a garden-ish setting, fairly formal - since my man has decided he wants to wear tails  :)  Would the floral wreath match in formality?

Also, I have already purchased a fingertip veil. Can I wear a floral wreath with a fingertip veil? Is that too much accessorizing??

Someone help!! Aaaaahhh!

    A floral wreath feels very casual for a wedding where the groom is in tails

    What about finding a metal headband that has a floral motif?  Like, an open wirework one that is viney and flowery?  That would be beautiful witih a veil, IMHO.  (You can probably find beautiful examples on etsy and pinterest)

    I am having a Hawaiian lei on my head for my Hawaiian wedding so there are many brides with these on Hawaiian websites. There is a pic of one in my bio!

    It could look more formal if you wear it with a veil. I'm wearing my mother's veil, and it's a floral band across the top, with pearls and a veil across the back - very different from anything else I've seen, even other brides from the time she got married. I thought it would look too dated, but once I put it on with a modern dress it looked fine. You should be good so long as you don't wear an older-style dress, too.

    I think just the flowers might be too casual, but if you paired it with a veil you should be good to go.

    I say this with love and kindness, but I haven't seen a bride wear a floral wreath in her hair since the 80s, which could be why you're having trouble finding modern photographs.

    I've seen some pictures of brides with floral wreath headpieces, and they look very earthy and ethereal. I think it would go great in a garden setting, but it depends on the style of your dress IMO. I will say that I somewhat agree with jennylove810, because my mom wore a small floral wreath with a veil in '83. With that said, I have seen some pictures recently of brides with them and they (can) look beautiful.

    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts!

    After more research and consideration, I think I will go with another hairstyle. I do feel, as jennylove810 said, that they are a bit outdated for a typical wedding. I think it would be really difficult for it to be done properly so that it looks modern, formal and not hippie-ish.

    However, for ladies out there doing a more casual garden wedding with maybe a boho feel, I think it would work well. Or, as jtoly said, it would fit a tropical theme too!

    Garden wedding and flowy floral wreath sounds perfect. Do you know if you're looking for a white wreath? or something with natural looking flowers? Do you still want a veil?
