cheap option (if your head is on the smaller side) is to buy a children's dress up floral/princess/fairy crown and add additional fresh flowers. this also allows some part of the crown to last forever. I have a fake flower floral crown with long curly ribbons that go all the way down my back. I call it my "pretty pretty princess hat" and wear it probably more often than most people would think a 30-something person should. I LOVE floral crowns. Perhaps I need to find excuses to make and wear ones with real flowers too. And now I know how! Thank you thank you thank you for this post!!!!! I've been eyeing them since you started the P&G how-tos!!! I am doing a wedding shoot next month with my makeup artist from my wedding and I am definitely going to make one of these!!! I'm so glad to see this -- this looks like a really good sturdy version that should last a busy bride all day! 'I've promised to make the floral crown for my friend's wedding in September, as I already have a habit of making them with all-garden ingredients. I make a hoop out of willow or other bendy branches, and then just weave the long stems in an out of the frame. I end up with a crown with a single line of symmetry, rather than a clockwise/anticlockwise one, but I find they work with almost anything you can find in a varied garden. More
