Make Your Own Summer Floral Crown With

Create the perfect floral accessory for your wedding, garden party, or festival!

What you’ll need:

Floral stub wires

Floral tape or Stemtex

A selection of summer flowers

Seasonal foliage

Secateurs/floristry scissors

A measuring tape

3. Cut your flowers and foliage so the stems are fairly short, then tie them together into bunches that will adorn your crown. We have an array of colourful, in-season blooms available if you need help sourcing your flowers.

4. Lay your first mini bunch of flowers against your wire and tape the ends securely to the wire band. Layer your next bundle slightly lower to hide the tape from the previous bunch. Repeat the process until all the wire has been covered. Don’t be afraid to make it a bit wild - it doesn’t need to be symmetrical. Once you have reached your last bunch, tidy it up with your last bit of foliage and a piece of floral tape.

Ideas for flowers and foliage:

Delphiniums

Spray Roses

Astrantia

Waxflower

Scabious

Flowering Mint

Cornflower

Pittosporum

Eucalyptus

5. Now, tie your ribbon onto the loops at each end of the wire, bring the two loops together and adjust the ribbon to your preferred length before knotting. Feel free to add a bow here if you’d like to.

6. Finally, pop it onto your head, and voilà, a stunning and beautifully summery handmade floral crown. If you’d prefer to leave it to the experts, don’t forget Bembridge Flower Shop can create garden-inspired floral crowns for any occasion, just pop in and ask!
