An autumn flower crownis both traditional and bespoke
WHILE flower crowns are not the preferred option of every bride, there’s nothing more spectacularly original than a flower crown done to perfection. Flower crowns are perhaps one of the oldest parts of wedding attire stretching back to Greek and Roman times, while lasting right through the medieval period. They’re not only traditional, but also bespoke in the sense the one you choose and design will be yours exclusively; a oneoff memento and fashion statement consigned forever to the memory of your special day.
Summer is when flower crowns are most popular, but so is autumn; a season that produces its own beautifully ornate colour range. The flower crown is a bridal trend again and if you want something unique on your big day it’s worth considering one. You can even get the bridesmaids to wear matching head fascinators.
Autumn is a gorgeous season with its bounty of vivid seasonal colours: orange, yellow, red and golden hues that mesmerize the senses in a way summer can’t quite match. The famous writer Albert Camus once said: ‘autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower’. This is how you should view what is arguably the loveliest season to get married.
A crown will look spectacular with vibrant orange and light greens which can be offset by maroon and pink flowers. Some rustic coloured leaves are other additions that will set your autumnal flower crown ablaze with seasonality.
For a more authentic feel, add some branches, berries and pinecones for a bouquet. you don’t have to load the crown with foliage as less is more. This is a simple and intricate way to look amazing for your autumn wedding. It will look infinitely chic and exude the inspiration of your own ideas.
