Small Floral Crown

Small floral crown, this floral crown is thought to have symbolized eternal love, innocence and purity. In modern times, floral crowns have evolved into decorative bridal party accessories. In addition to flowers, jewellery embellishments worn in the hair often have floral or vine motifs.
Few things are more breathtaking than a bride walking down the aisle with her hair adorned with flowers. When choosing to use flowers as a hair adornment, however, brides should be careful in their choices.
If her hair is short, she should try to stick with small blossoms, like baby's breath; although one large flower such as a gardenia could be used - but only one blossom. The amount and volume of hair should dictate the size of the flowers used. A crown of flowers works well with almost any length hair.
When choosing flowers for her hair, the bride must also consider her bouquet. It is a good rule of thumb that if she chooses to put flowers in her hair, she should use the same species of flower that will be used in her bouquet. If at all possible, she should make sure the same person who makes the bouquet also makes her headgear.
If a single flower or several small blossoms are used to adorn her hair, the bride should ask her hair stylist to insert them as she is having her hair done for the big day. If, however, her preference is for a crown of blossoms, she should rely on someone with experience in constructing floral crowns.
A professional florist will not only be able to help the bride select blossoms that are study enough to stand up to a full day of activity, they will also know exactly what tools and supplies to use to assure that the crown will not fall apart in the middle of the ceremony. The blossoms should also be treated with some sort of acrylic spray to hold them in place and prevent the petals from dropping off during the strenuous day. After all, the flowers that are in her hair will get a more strenuous workout than her bouquet. While the bouquet rests on a table, the floral hair accessories will be on the dance floor and meeting and greeting guests throughout the entire reception.
When it's all said and done, the bride should be able to dry the flowers and save her floral crown just the same as she would save her honeymoon corsage. But, without selection and proper care before the wedding, there will be nothing to save afterwards except leaves, stems and pins or the supplies used to construct the crown.
