Putting flowers in the brides hair?

Q: Could you please let me know before marriage, from the grooms side people go to the brides side and put flowers to brides hair, it is permissible in Islam? I strictly told to my parents it is not permissible in Islam, my parents also accepted. Could you please advise me whether what I did was correct.

A: The putting of flowers is not a sunnat practice. It should be discarded.
