There's a reason flower crowns are all the rage with brides. Your wavy locks, updo, or braids will positively blossom with beauty when accented with a wreath woven from seasonal blooms. Plus, these statement-making floral arrangements are a surefire way to add romance to your big-day look, and work as an alternative to veils, headbands, or tiaras. No matter the style of your event (or the season you're saying "I do"), a flower crown may be just the thing you need to complete your bridal look or round out your wedding party's style. Plus, these one of a kind accessories can easily be swapped in or out of your look to replace or be replaced by a veil if you're looking for more traditional photos or classic ceremony style.

For proof of these unique accessories' charm and versatility, turn to these brides, bridesmaids, flower girls, and even a few furry friends, who all wore gorgeous floral crowns to the big celebration. From bohemian to whimsical and rustic to beachy, these pretty petaled headpieces were used in a wide range of ceremonies, bringing an added dose of natural beauty to each wedding's décor.
