A coral and blush dahlia headband with ribbons for sweet flowergirls
Oh it’s just so pretty and sweet! No explanation needed on why I’ve shared this with you all – it’s made by Etsy seller Untamed Petals, but I still can’t work out if they are fabric or real flowers. They look so real, but I think they must be fabric as they say they can post them anywhere in the world. Whether you ordered one from Untamed Petals, or got your florist to create one with real dahlias for your flowergirls, I think it’s such a beautiful headband-cum-flower-crown. What I think I love most, is that the flowers are around …

White clover flower crown for a simple country wedding
Along with the rest of the wedding blogging world I’ve been a bit enamoured with flower crowns (or however you wish to describe them) for a while now – delightfully without realising I fell into this trend early on with one of my flowergirls wearing a gorgeous garland of flowers in her hair for our wedding. Usually they are quite bold and attention grabbing, or delicate and fragile strings of daisies. This one is all together different I think, and perhaps my favourite so far – a simple garland of white clover flowers. Growing up predominately in the countryside of …

Wearing tiny flowers in your hair for a natural wedding look
Floral crowns, garlands, headpieces – however you describe them – are incredibly popular for weddings at the moment. I think it’s lovely that people want to wear flowers in their hair, especially these crowns of flowers that have that boho, natural look. However, I still love tiny touches of flowers, for those of you, like me, you aren’t one for making big statements with a mass of enormous blooms on your head. This is a beautiful example of how subtle flowers in your hair can still look as lovely as something more bold. These tiny fresh flowers look like they …

How to create a homemade floral crown and bouquet for your wedding on a budget
There has been a lot of love for flower crowns or garlands this summer (these ones stick in my mind) and I’d given my ideas on how you could create one yourself. But this morning I discovered a way better tutorial from one of my favourite non-wedding blogs junkaholique. It’s written by Artemis who I think is a super talented and creative lady (I wish I could be a bit more like her), so if you haven’t heard of junkaholique go and have a read – I promise you’ll be hooked. She created this gorgeous flower crown from hedgerow flowers …

Winter hair garland of wax flowers and ivy
If you’re planning a winter wedding for 2012 and you fancy something quite earthy and in tune with the natural world, then this gorgeous hair garland of wax flowers and ivy would fit in wonderfully. Whether it was worn by your bridesmaids, or yourself (I could only dream of being gutsy enough to pull it off), it would certainly add to that ‘mid-winter’ feel. I’m imagining something along the lines of roaring log fires, mugs of hot mulled cider and lots of ivy hung everywhere…very Robin Hood. I think these flower garlands would be equally at home at a wedding …

A cheerful summer wedding with country flowers
I’m still hanging onto thoughts of summer despite the bitter chill in the air. This wedding reminds me of all those things I love about summer and the kind of summer you dream of. This is the kind of wedding I’d like to go to – the tables are decorated in an understated way with the odd colourful flower adding bursts of cheeriness, but otherwise unfussy and beautiful. The bride looks almost ethereal in the soft light with her natural flower crown and golden curls. There are so many pretty details to be drooled over like the brown card place …

Pretty pink blossom crown for a blushing bride
This gorgeous cloud of vintage pink flowers brings out my inner girlieness. It is so pretty and feminine, and oh so romantic – it melts that feminist side of me that and takes me back to my childhood. I find some of the nicest things that I love the most are those that remind me of my childhood, its funny how that is. You can find this pretty pink floral crown at WhichGoose, which if you haven’t yet checked out the creations by this talented lady you should go and drool over them all now.
