It’s already been decided – you’re not wearing a wedding veil – so how will you top your gorgeous bridal hairstyle? With a forever feminine flower crown, of course!

Flower crowns are a growing trend as a bridal veil alternative and just a really, really pretty option of a hairpiece. The utterly romantic and distinctly feminine style can be suited for any bride or wedding style, though they do teeter more on the side of vintage and bohemian looks. And as you can tell from the top photo from Vintage Wedding Day, flower crown can fit any bridal hairstyle. We like it best with loose, romantic curls or bohemian braids. See our summer wedding hair trends to see what we mean.
