Flower Crowns- Flower Garlands

Trending right now...it is the time to wear flowers in your hair.
For weddings, for festivals, for summer, whenever...wherever...

Make your own garland...
I prefer fresh flowers....
Lovely for Brides and cute for Flower Girls and Bridesmaids

They can also be made using artficial silk flowers, and of course they last much longer!

Elegant Gardenias- a classic choice.


Jade Jagger carried a lovely and very simple yet elegant bouquet made only of gardenias and glossy gardenia foliage. Very easy to recreate. Simply tied with white ribbon.


The perfectflower  to wear in the hair, just a few blooms pinned into the hair., or on a comb.

Butonholes of gardenia work well too..
I lov gardenias. The perfume is just exquisite. So rich and heady.
The flowers are pure white and beautiful.
The folliage is beautiful in its own right too. Gossy, shiny and green.
This is a flower that ws very popular in the 1920's and 30's and is ready for a comeback!
