Continue reading to learn how to create this DIY bridal flower crown headband from beginning to end. You’ll discover how to choose the ideal flowers, fasten them to your headband, and receive styling and wearing advice for your flower crown. Let’s begin!

What You’ll Need to Make a Wedding Flower Crown

Only a few materials are used in this floral creation, including:

• Six to eight little accent flowers and foliage from a high-end floral arrangement
• One headband
• Floral wire in green
• Cutter wires
• A hot glue gun
• Your inventiveness

How to Choose the Right Flowers for Your Flower Crown

Various flowers in various sizes and shapes can be found in Flowersarch do-it-yourself boxes. Larger flowers may be too massive to wear comfortably on your headband. Therefore, we advise reserving a few smaller flowers or accent pieces for your floral crown; ideally, they should have a diameter of no more than 1.5 inches.

We also advise selecting flowers or leaves that are gathered together to split them into separate pieces. For instance, we created a relaxed destination wedding style with the orchid buds from our citrus and pink flower box.

Alternatively, you could make this bridal flower crown with flowers and foliage from one of our accent combo kits. Despite being made to support a larger project, these blossoms are perfect for smaller projects like this one because of their modest size. Additionally, you may make several flower crowns with the leftovers for the other guests at your bridal party!

How to DIY Your Bridal Flower Crown

Step 1. Prepare Your Flowers

Let’s get your flower crown ready after you’ve chosen a few blooms and accent leaves.

First, separate any clusters of flowers into individual blossoms by cutting them apart. Don’t stress over keeping the wire stem whole. To connect them to the headband, we’ll utilize an additional cable.

We kept ours whole for a more lush appearance, but you could also cut bunches of leaves into individual sprigs.

Step 2. Assemble the Headband

Let’s begin putting your flower crown together now. To secure it to your headband, wrap the floral wire around a small piece of foliage. It doesn’t matter if a portion remains visible; we advise using a green wire to help it blend in with the other flowers and leaves.

Then, start working across the headband, switching up the flowers, leaves, and other embellishments. Continue until you’ve covered the headband’s exposed areas with flowers and foliage.

A word of advice: Don’t utilize all your flowers at once. Some of the smallest should be set aside for the following phase.

Step 3. Add Details

You can wear your flower crown if you’re satisfied with it. Let’s add a few more finishing touches, though. Little things can have a significant impact, after all. Address any extra or unused flowers to the crown using a hot glue gun. This will enable you to close design gaps and produce a more complete and abundant overall appearance.

Advice: Try placing the crown and seeing how it appears in the mirror first if you’re having problems identifying any gaps.

You can follow the exact instructions to build additional flower crowns for bridesmaids. If not, you’re done and prepared to walk down the aisle wearing your flower crown!

How to Wear a Flower Crown on Your Wedding Day

The exciting part is about to begin: flower crown styling! Although this design would look great with half-ups or updos, we decided to go with natural waves to finish the beachy, summery look.

You may use pins to secure the veil to your hair before putting the headband on if you wish to wear it with this headband. Alternatively, hot-glue the veil’s top to your headband underneath the flowers for further security.

If you’re still unsure about your preferred crown style, now is the perfect opportunity to try various styles until you choose one that truly suits you. Nobody knows your style better, after all.
