I am loving floral crowns on brides at the moment, and with Spring approaching what better time to wear beautiful fresh flowers in your hair on your wedding day!

There are so many ways you can wear flower crowns as a bride. Here's a few ways to style them and how to achieve the look...


The understated flower crown
As the saying goes, sometimes less is more. A simple, understated, and delicate flower crown can be a pretty, Spring-time alternative to the usual bridal tiaras and hair pieces.

To get the look: Gypsophila (also known as 'Baby's Breath') is the perfect flower for a dainty floral crown, or any small flowers with a bit of foliage works well.  Style with a relaxed hair do and natural make up for a Spring bridal look. Simple and elegant!

The statement flower crown
The opposite to the understated crown, this is great for brides who want to stand out with a statement hair piece. The use of bold, brightly coloured flowers works great for Autumn brides, think pink, peach and purple colours.

To get the look: Wear your hair in a sleek side bun, or side plait to bring more attention to the flower piece. Choose bold coloured flowers that will compliment your wedding colour scheme if you have one. Style with dramatic make-up to match, and choose a lippy of the same colour of a flower in your floral crown to complete the look.

The flower crown & veil
You can still wear a beautiful flower crown with a traditional bridal veil, and there are different ways to wear it too!

To get the look: There are two most common (and easy) ways of wearing a veil with a floral crown. The first is to wear your veil like a Juliette Cap on your head, or, completely over your face and then place the crown on top. The other way is to attach your veil to the back of your crown underneath the flowers, so that it flows down your back.

The boho bride flower crown
Flowers in a brides hair is probably the first thing you think of when you hear the words 'bohemian wedding'. I love the boho bridal look, especially for a relaxed, garden wedding in the Spring/Summer time.

To get the look: Wear your hair down with loose, natural curls, and braid / plait pieces of your hair to give it extra texture. Put some golden, sun-kissed highlights in your hair for the ultimate boho babe look. Finish off with your simple and pretty flower crown made with pastel coloured flowers and foliage. Keep your make up natural and chic to complete the look.
