There is something undeniably magical about adding a flower crown to your outfit. If you’re getting ready for a festival, a wedding, or even a whimsical day in the park, there's something about adding that touch of natural beauty that's just too hard to resist. And you know what? You don't need to be a professional florist to make them. With just a bit of guidance and some fresh flowers, you can create your very own floral masterpiece.
We are all about flowers and fun at Dragonetti Florist, your local Brooklyn florist. We pride ourselves on our unique and unforgettable floral arrangements. Now, let's jump right into this step-by-step tutorial and teach you how to make a flower crown that people won’t stop talking about.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
First things first, let’s get you prepared for the project. Here is a quick little list of everything you need to get started:
- Flowers: Choose a mix of flowers that vary in size, color, and texture. Roses, baby's breath, and daisies are all great options, along with lots and lots of greenery. Keep in mind: the fresher the flowers, the better!
- Floral Wire: This will be the base of your floral crown, so you want it to be flexible but strong.
- Floral Tape: This will attach your flowers to the wire and hold them all in place.
- Scissors: A good pair of scissors or floral shears will make the process a lot easier.
Step 2: Measurement and Creation of the Base
First, you have to make the base of your crown. Wrap your floral wire around your head where you'd like the crown to set. Leave a little extra so you can secure it at the end. Once you have your measurement, twist the ends together to make a loop. You want it to fit comfortably, not too tight but secure enough that it won't slip off with every breeze.
Step 3: Prepare Your Flowers
Okay, now for the fun part! Cut your flowers, leaving about 2-3 inches on each. You don't want too much stem because the crown can get bulky, but you want enough to tie the flowers to the base. Now is also the time to decide which flowers will be the focal flowers and which ones will be fillers.
Step 4: Attach Your Flowers
Start with your base layer of greenery. Use floral tape to attach small bunches of greenery to the wire. This makes a lovely backdrop for your flowers, making the crown fuller. You can add some blooms when you feel the base is good enough. Take your focal flowers and secure them onto the wire using floral tape, making sure you space them evenly around the crown. Fill in the gaps with your smaller flowers and greenery until the crown looks full.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to layer up your flowers! Slightly overlapping flowers give your crown a professional touch.
Step 5: Putting On The Final Touch
Once all your flowers are in place, step back to admire your work. If there are any gaps or if it looks a little uneven, don't worry! You can add more flowers or greenery anywhere you feel it needs it. Once you're happy with how it looks, twist the ends of the wire to keep everything in place.
Finally, shake your crown around a little bit to make sure everything feels securely attached. You don't want flowers falling out in the middle of the event!
Step 6: Wear and Enjoy!
Your flower crown is ready to wear! Whether you're off to a music festival, a summer wedding, or a fun day out, this flower crown will be a showstopper. Plus, there's something oh-so-very satisfying about wearing something you've made yourself.
