Editorial Guidelines Updated on March 27, 2018 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Jake and Heather So, you're not the kind of bride who wears flowers in her hair. We get it! Your style is simple and slightly-understated, and you prefer a neutral color palette, especially when it comes to your big day. If you're planning a celebration that errs on the ethereal, romantic side and want to look the part, wearing a natural headpiece might fit that aesthetic. To go sans color, consider the anti-flower crown—a circle of green-only foliage, woven from the prettiest leaves. If you're worried that these non-floral adornments are one-note, think again. With so many pretty leaf varieties out there—like eucalyptus, olive, ivy, and clover—there are so many exciting ways to go green on your wedding day. The following brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls from real weddings prove that no two greenery crowns have to look the same. We loved how one bride wore a full, leafy headpiece that spilled onto her forehead. Another opted for something daintier, favoring a skinny woven option that complemented the leaves embroidered on her wedding dress. Other brides kept their crowns free of florals entirely, but introduced other natural elements, like green berries. If you want to break up all the green, take notes from several women featured here, who punctuated their leafy wreaths with one or two white wildflowers or a sprig of barely-there baby's breath. However you decide to try out this trend, there's an earthy option here for you. Big or small, lush or understated, these greenery crowns are sure to bring an unexpected touch to your bridal style. 01 of 21 Pretty Pairing Cara Robbins Studio Offset a lush, over-the-top bouquet with a simple green accessory, crafted with the same leaves the appear in your bouquet. 40 More Larger-than-Life Bouquets You'll Love 02 of 21 Olive and Berries Sotiris Tsakanikas Greenery crowns don't have to be exclusively leafy.
