Updo with a Wreath of Roses

Updo with a wreath of small pink roses previous hairstyle next hairstyle
 
There are hairstyles that are merely attractive, and then there are hairstyles that are beautiful in a way that seems to transcend time. This exquisite updo, adorned with a wreath of small pink roses, belongs firmly in the second category. It is ethereal and deeply romantic.
 
The hair itself is an ash-blonde tone, with hints of silver and gold that give it a soft, almost otherworldly appeal. In 1919, ash or platinum blonde hair was considered extremely fashionable, associated with a kind of classical beauty that appealed to the artistic sensibilities of the time.
 
The hairstyle is a full, soft updo that envelops the head in a cloud of gently waved hair. The waves are loose rather than tightly structured, giving the whole arrangement a dreamy, almost liquid quality. The hair appears to have been set in large, soft rollers or curl papers, resulting in waves that move naturally rather than sitting in a rigid formation.
 
1919 hairstyle with a wreath of small pink roses
 
On top of the hair is a wreath of small pink roses with small green leaves. The roses are soft and blush-toned, their petals barely open, giving them a fresh, morning quality. Each rose is perfectly positioned to complement the curves of the style beneath.
 
The white lace blouse enhances the romantic feel of the look. In 1919, lace was still associated with femininity and refinement, and this particular blouse - with its embroidered pattern and soft scoop neckline - frames the hair and flowers beautifully. The overall impression is of a bride, or perhaps a woman attending a very special celebration.
 
This hairstyle represents a particular strand of 1919 fashion that looked backward as much as it looked forward: drawing on the romantic traditions of earlier decades even as the world was changing rapidly around it.
