Bridal Hair Flower Crowns

Accentuate Your Bridal Hairstyle with a Flower Crown

Steeped in meaning and tradition, a flower crown is an accessory that's almost synonymous with weddings and festivals. Flower crowns come in different patterns, shapes, sizes, and colours. They are easily customisable too. Buy a flower crown on eBay to instantly transform your wedding look.

Flower crowns date back to several ancient civilisations. In agrarian societies, the crown had significant symbolic meaning, where it illustrated status and accomplishment.

• It was particularly popular in ancient Greece to wear the flower crown at special events.
• Flower crowns make up the traditional Ukrainian folk dress, with girls who are old enough to get married often wearing the crown.
• In China, flower crowns made from orange blossom were customarily worn during weddings. Since orange trees bear fruit and blossom simultaneously, the crown symbolised fertility.

Queen Victoria made the crown fashionable in Europe. In 1840, for her wedding, she wore a wreath with orange blossoms. After the wedding, orange blossoms became synonymous with weddings. During the late 1960s, when the hippie culture was at its peak, the flower crown turned into a mainstay fashion accessory connected with love and peace, which were the movement's ideals. The rest, as they say, is history.

A flower crown is easy to personalise. With the crown, you can sport a simple look or go over the top as you choose - from a few mini spray roses and simple green sprigs to oversized flowers. Incorporate a flower into your hairstyle with the help of your hairstylist.

The selection of flowers, hues, and the style must be as per your personal style.

• If you are a bride who wants to nail the elegant bride look, go with a crown made from soft hued flowers. For example, use small ivory flowers, such as baby's breath, and add some white pearls for increased subtleness.
• In tropical surroundings, go with a bolder look. Opt for a punchy, brightly coloured crown.
• If it's winter, add a lot of green to the crown and throw in some acorns for the folksy vibe. Make the look chicer by pairing the greenery with a cashmere wrap or a fur muff.

The veil need not be skipped just because you're wearing the crown. You may choose to wear them both if you want to. Make sure the veil is single-layered so that the crown is visible when veiled.
