Easy Floral crowns.

This is a long over due post.  When I hosted my best friend, Jess's garden bridal shower, I had a few people asked me about a flower crown tutorial.  I know it is like six months late but here it is.




I think most of you are aware of my obsession with flowers.  I usually have an abundant amount of them in the house.  I am also so lucky to have a man who feeds my addiction.  This morning B sent me all these flowers and I have been on cloud 9 ever since.  As I was putting them around  the house, I thought this would be the perfect day to make some flower crowns.




Of course you will need your choice of flowers.  I find that flowers with smaller buds are easier to work with.


You will need a scissor, a floral wire and floral tape.


Twist two wires together to create a circle.  Put it on your head to make sure it fits.  I like to put floral tape around the parts where the ends are sticking out.


Now all you have to do is cut the flowers and tape them around the wire with the floral tape.  You can either go all the way around the circle or just do it half way like I did here. 


Quick and easy.


Do you realize how much bribing I had to do to take this one picture?


Lily, on the other hand, is always ready with a pose.


Love,
Victoria

  1. Beautiful, Victoria. I do know! My daughter was in the garden with me, but not for pictures, and all I captured were her skirt and legs. And guess what she was wearing! She was wearing a ballet pink tule skirt that we bought in Austria last year; it goes to her knees and she paired it with a tee that has a deer on it. The photos only get less for a while. I love your crowns, and will have to make some. How wonderful to have a man that sends you flowers all the time. xoxo Su

  2. Florals just seem to agree with you, and all your models look beautiful in them.

    Makes me truly want to fill my home with the scent of flowers.

  6. Whenever I see a pretty mixed floral bunch of shades of pink I think of you! I can imagine just how divinely fragrant your home smells with all the flowers gifted by B. Very sweet man, who knows how to grace your heart. Your crowns are pretty and the girls look adorable wearing them with their Tutu's. Lily is a perfect model. Victoria tonight House Hunters international had an episode filmed in your homeland, looks so beautiful there. Please take tons of photos to share when you and your daughters visit this Summer.

  12. Lovely post! I will try this too. Especially like your little puppy. She has such a nice profile and looked almost as if she felt proud of her crown! Like meant to wear one everyday proud. Hoping when you are back from your trip you will give us more Burmese recipes. I am craving the recipe I used that you gave us and hope to make it soon again.

  16. These are beautiful! Lily looks like a shabby chic princess pup. When my daughter was little she made ivy crowns for herself and her friends. She spent so many summers running around barefoot, dirty feet with an ivy crown.
