There’s something so beautiful and innocent about this mother daughter DIY project from Christy Hulsey, Camp Makery expert and owner of Colonial House of Flowers in Savannah, Georgia.
Materials:
Floral tape
Floral wire
Fresh flowers
Fresh greenery
Scissors
Step 1: Measure the circumference of your head, and cut your wire at double the length.
Step 2: Create a wire loop (crown) the size of your original measurement, and wrap the extra wire around to create a sturdy form.
Step 3: Place one of your flowers on the wire loop and use the floral tape to secure the stem to the wire.
Step 4: Add another piece behind your first one. Feel free to mix it up with flowers, a stem of berries or beautiful greenery. Use the floral tape to attach it to the wire, and repeat this step until the wire is completely covered.

Christy, I love how you chose big blossoms on a little girls head, instead of petite little blooms, it just makes her look all that much more adorable! Love the Pottery Barn look and vibe.Love the easy to follow instructions. Great post, but of course, I would’nt expect anything less from a fellow CD!
Oh, Margaret! Thank you so much. I think so, too. We simply used what was available that day with a very impromptu arrangement, which always are my favorite. Thank you for the kind compliments. You make my day!

Wonderful design and tutorial. Very doable for a DIY wedding! Love it!
It’s totally doable! Thanks for the great words! 🙂
Take it from the bride who was somehow lucky enough to carry that stunning bouquet on the most precious day of her life: It was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed. It was perfection. The moment my best friend’s sweet daughter walked in to the room where I was having my hair done, a gorgeous floral halo crowning her innocent head, that huge, jaw-dropping bouquet in her hands — that moment was life-changing. That moment is the story I’ll tell to my children, my grandchildren. Christy at Colonial House of Flowers and her sweet B gave me the gift of a lifetime, and I’m the luckiest bride in the world. I love you both, and I’ll forever be grateful! Xoxo
Linsay!!! This is so incredible. I love you TO THE MOON. I will never forget that moment we met… it’s been so great ever since. Love you!! And, your groom. And, this wedding. And, B magically making her way into the whole thing. And, livin’ her dream — to be a Flower Girl!! Xo!!
Pottery Barn knows how to bring the skills of fabulous designers like Christy from Colonial House to show the world another fabulous way to enjoy flowers. Thanks for the tutorial!

Dear Alicia Jane: pretty sure that I am totally in love with you and your fabulous designs. TOTALLY my inspiration! Xo!
Thank you for this post, its beautiful work! It has helped a lot already as I need
to create flower crown for my friend wedding in two weeks, I already bought the materials,, flower tape and the wire, however I am wondering what can I do to keep the flowers look fresher once you create the crown? Is there any spray I can use? she will be wearing it for the most of the day.
I hope you will be able to advice….
Hey, Lucie! Thank you for your great words. So, to keep the crown fresh you can store it in a plastic bag that can be stored in a cool dark place in your home or in a clean refrigerator. When I say clean, I mean without fruits/veggies/bacteria because all of that emits gases that wilt the blooms. A finishing spray like, Crowning Glory, can also be sprayed on the flowers. It creates a barrier that locks in moisture. I am obsessed with it. You’re going to do great, I know it!! Let me know what it looks like. I’d love to see it!
Amazing!!
