Beautiful single artificial flowers & flower crowns for your hair
Weddings have changed quite a bit in the past twenty years.
Everyone has realised how personal a wedding is and brides are becoming more inventive and so are their bridal parties.
It’s not unusual to have beach weddings with modern touches or bridesmaids dresses in all colours at one ceremony.
And yet, one trend continues to reign supreme in the past ten years... the flower crown. The perfect match for the beautiful bridal bouquet is the flowers in her hair.
Flower Crowns
Flower crowns are growing in popularity as brides continue to ditch their veils to make more earthy, feminine statements. A veil is traditionally known as a symbol of a husband’s authority over his wife as she pledged modesty and obedience, but as women continue to embrace female empowerment around the world, that tradition is being replaced by other wedding accessories.
You’ll notice that even wedding vows have changed to echo this affirmation with many brides choosing to omit that they will obey their husband when taking vows.
Flower Crowns & Garlands
Flower crowns and garlands can come in a wide variety of colours and styles and they really make a huge personal statement about the bride and her groom so it’s important that they reflect that. There will always be a few important factors to consider but once you cover these bases, go crazy with colours, designs and flowers.
- Think about the shape of your face. If you’ve got fine features, a crown filled with large flowers can overwhelm you and take the focus away from how beautiful you’ll look on your big day.
- The style of your wedding. If you’re having a bohemian wedding for example, the flowers shouldn’t be rare, imported blooms from the other side of the world. Stick to locally grown flowers for a bohemian theme.
- Stick to the plan. If you’ve got a particular colour story in mind, try to incorporate them into your garlands. You don’t want everything to look disjointed and messy on your wedding day.
Great. Now, let’s have a look at how amazing flower crowns work for the entire bridal party .....
The Bride
A simple wedding dress, a quiet beach and an ethereal crown of soft white flowers lend an air of angelic beauty to this bride as she holds her husband.
The bride was smart to keep all of the wedding details the same colour to bring a harmonious quality to the styling.
Another detail to pay attention to is the fact that she chose colours that contrast with her dark hair so that the garland takes centre stage.
She also has a few green accents in her flower crown that tie into the green wreaths that flank the wedding arch. You could also choose to incorporate flowers and a veil for a look that’s timeless and elegant.
It’s not technically a garland but there’s no denying that this style is a major style win. Go with a large floral design and a cropped veil to achieve this look.
If you’re going with simple dress styles, bright springtime blooms could make the perfect flower garlands for you and your bridal party. Flower crowns like the ones shown above will be a standout feature that will make your wedding photos shine.
Even after the memories fade, looking at photos of those gorgeous garlands will bring a smile to your face.
What an amazing photo!
An amazing look for the bride alone or all of the bridesmaids. And is there anything cuter than a flower girl in a floral wreath? Quite possibly not!
Perhaps you want a more muted palette. Then a flower garland filled with soft, homogenous colours will also be a great option. A simple crown with just a handful of flowers, a sprinkling of baby’s breath and a splash of green fauna can still be beautiful.
Maybe you’d like to have them as keepsakes for your family so they can incorporate them into their weddings.
