1. Three Different Ways to Wear Your Flower Crown.
A floral crown can be worn in various ways, each offering a different bohemian style.
We will explore three ways to adorn your head with a floral crown.
Let’s start with the most common approach.
A. The classic for a chic and elegant style.
Simply place or secure your flower crown on the top of your head. Position the flowers so they face forward in your hair.
This style is the most popular and formal, offering an elegant and bohemian look, perfect for achieving a rustic style. 🍂
This way of wearing your flower crown is perfect for attending a ceremony such as a wedding, a baptism, or a communion.
Now let’s explore a different approach by creating your floral arrangement in the style of the 1970s hippies.
B. Wear Your Hair Like a Crown
To place or secure the crown, position the flowers at the intersection of your forehead and hair.
You can even let the crown rest on the top of your forehead.
This is exactly how the hippies ✌️ wore their flower headbands in the ’70s. This will give you a vintage hippie style, perfect for a themed party.
Finally, here’s our latest way to wear your headband, with the flowers at the back for an unconventional yet still elegant look.
C. Hair at the Back of Your Head
Place or secure your crown with the flowers that come toward the middle of the back of your head. It’s quite new to wear a floral crown this way, but it is gaining popularity, especially at weddings.
Indeed, the bride is often seen from behind by the guests during her processional or when she looks at the officiant, and in profile when she is exchanging her wedding vows.
It’s only natural to wear a flower crown 🌼 positioned toward the back of your head so that it’s more visible.
This way of wearing a floral arrangement in the hair is also commonly used by models for backshot photo shoots.
Now that you know how to place your tiara on your head, let’s turn our attention to the hairstyle.
2. How to Style Your Hair with a Flower Crown?
You can’t use just any hair accessory for any hairstyle. You need to match your hairstyle to the accessory you’re using, and flower crowns are no exception.
Let’s take a look at how to style your hair based on its length and texture, and which crown to choose for a wow effect. 😉
A. Long Hair: What Hairstyle and Flower Crown?<\/h3>
The goal is to add volume to your hair to prevent your crown from making your hair look flat.
If you have straight, flat hair, wearing a crown can give you a hippie look, which isn’t always the desired effect.
For a more romantic and bohemian look, you have three options for your hairstyle:
- The bun
- Curling Your Hair
- Braiding Hair
When it comes to choosing a crown, having long hair gives you plenty of options.
You can wear both large-flower crowns and tiaras with small flowers.
B. Mid-Length Hair: Suitable Hairstyles and Crowns.
The same process applies as with long hair. You should try to add some volume to your hair so that the crown sits nicely.
It can often be challenging to create a nice bun with medium-length hair.
On the other hand, you can put your hair up. This will add volume and texture to your hairstyle, making it perfect for wearing your flower crown.
You can also add texture to your hair by curling it or braiding it.
It’s also important to avoid flower crowns with overly large blooms or an overly dense floral arrangement 💐, as this can make your face appear heavier. Instead, opt for smaller flowers like baby’s breath or Lisianthus blooms.
C. Short Hair: How to Choose the Right Floral Crown.
For short hair, it’s best to prioritize small flowers. 💮 Oversized flowers or overly heavy floral arrangements won’t look good. They will cover up much of your hair and give a disguised effect.
For a bohemian and romantic look with short hair, opt for a floral tiara 👑 instead of a crown. It will give you a romantic style, just like a queen.
You can still wear a flower crown, but make sure that the flowers are small and delicate so they don’t overwhelm your hair.
When it comes to hairstyles, there unfortunately aren’t many options for short hair. Using hairspray can help add volume and thickness, ensuring that your hair looks full and holds its shape well.
Now you know how to style your hair and which type of flower to choose for your tiara.
Let’s take a look at the different types of attachments available for your crown to ensure it stays securely in place and doesn’t fly away at the slightest breeze.
3. The Five Types of Floral Crown Attachments
An essential aspect of all flower crowns is how they are worn and secured.
There are 5 different types of attachments 📍 that cater to various needs and hair types.
It’s very important to choose the right attachment so that your crown stays securely on your hair and doesn’t fall with the slightest head movement.
Let’s take a look at the different types of attachments right now.
A. Crown with a Ribbon.
A ribbon 🎀 is tied and secured at the back of the crown. The ribbon adds a luxurious and romantic touch to the crown, while also being able to fit any head shape and hairstyle.
For us, it’s the perfect attachment.
B. Closed crown with an elastic attachment.
The crown is fully enclosed, but the back part is elastic. This allows it to fit any head shape. However, the quality of the elastic is often poor and may break easily.
Another drawback is that the crown can squeeze your head, potentially causing pain and discomfort.
This type of crown will often be made of low-quality synthetic flowers. However, it’s a simple, inexpensive, and effective choice for any hairstyle.
C. Flower Crown Headband.
It functions just like a headband. Very easy to wear and fits well with various hairstyles.
However, the headband might be heavy and not hold well if the floral arrangement of the crown is substantial or if the flowers are large. 🌻
D. Crown with comb attachment.
This crown attaches with a comb or a hair clip. This ensures that the crown stays in place well, but it’s not ideal for short hair.
It may also be uncomfortable and pull on your hair.
E. Closed and Sturdy Crown.
This type of crown sits easily on the head and is similar to the crowns worn by kings and queens. 👸
It should be tailored to fit the circumference of your head.
Its price is high, but you will be able to keep it for a long time.
Preserved flowers are typically used in this type of wreath because of their longevity.
