More Ways to Wear Flowers in Your Hair

We recently wrote about pretty flowers that you can wear in your hair. Today, we’re thinking of even more flowers to adorn the hair and some specific ways that you can wear them.

Even if you have the most beautiful bloom for your hair, you need to find a way to secure it to your head if you want to go out and show if off. We’ve put together a few methods for fixing flowers in your hair so that they’ll stay with you all day long, or into the evening if you want to look flowery for a night affair.

Orchid Hair Comb

Orchids look stunning in the hair when affixed to a hair comb and tucked behind the ear. You can use bobby pins to secure an orchid to a plain comb, or you can rubber band the flower to the comb. Wondering which orchids look best in hair? There is no favorite, in our opinion. Go with white, pink, cream, or whatever color best suits your mood.

Flower Crown

Flower crowns can be simple to make or a bit complex. You can easily make slits in the stems of daisies to thread other flowers through, and make up a loose crown that will last you a few hours. Or, you might want to go the wire and tape route to create a sturdier flower crown that will take you from day to night, for a wedding or a festival.

Rose Headband

We love the idea of pinning mini roses to a headband to create a beautiful look for a party, shower, or daytime wedding. When you create your rose headband, choose any shade of rose that you like. We love all white or all red rose headbands, but you can craft one in other colors or multi colors.

In addition to these ways to wear flowers in your hair, we love the idea of pinning a single pink daisy behind our ear or crafting a ring of mini roses (or button daisies) to wrap around a hairband when you’re wearing a ponytail. Wearing flowers in your hair is all about expression. It’s something that can actually be done any way you want, so have fun playing around with different blooms and coming up with styles that are truly you.

Flowers to Put in a Flower Crown

Are you making a flower crown for a wedding, a festival, or just because? We’ve often wanted to create a pretty floral crown for an event, or simply to wear because we want to feel pretty.

We’ve found that any flowers look stunning when turned into a crown, but the following are some suggestions we have if you want specific ideas for blooms to make a flower crown:

White Flowers

A collection of white flowers, of many kinds, makes a pure and simple flower crown that looks lovely on a bride. We love white daises, roses, carnations, and babies breath. There is something so stunning about an all-white flower crown. Maybe it’s the innocence of white and the purity of heart it suggests we all have the core.

Rustic Fall Flowers

You can put together a beautiful flower crown with fall-colored flowers in shades of orange and yellow. Opt for big, bold orange Gerbera daisies combined with little common daisies or dandelions. Also, orange orchids look amazing gin a flower crown as do peach roses.

Lovely Lilac

For a soft and super feminine flower crown, choose lavender lilacs or purple hydrangeas. Mix these blossoms with mini berries for a garden fairy look that’s perfect for bridesmaids or flower girls.

Other flowers that you can use in a flower crown include brightly colored gerbera daisies. These flowers look incredible in shades of red, orange, yellow, and bright pink. Want a really romantic look for your flower crown? Choose classic red or pink roses. You can also go with flower crowns of only babies breath, a bohemian-inspired flower crown with yellow daisies, or a flower crown of puffy, cheerful carnations. The key to choosing the right flowers for a flower crown is to go with flowers that express some part of your personality. You’ll want to feel comfortable, and beautiful, in your flower crown. So choose flowers that are truly you.
