When making fresh flower crowns, I constantly find myself turning to these 12 select blooms—my favorites.
Wax Flowers
I love wax flowers because they really mix well with other blooms, big or small. They come in different colors depending on the season and add volume and texture to a flower crown. Added bonus—they smell minty fresh and hold their shape well.
Freesia
Freesia blooms in white or lavender smell amazing and are a great addition to a flower crown. Also, freesia greenery woven into a crown attains a very whimsical look.
For a lush, romantic flower crown, I love using spray roses for their fullness and range of colors. Standard roses are generally too big to hold up in a crown, but spray roses are smaller and much easier to maneuver.
Rosemary
I love using rosemary at the base of my flower crowns, especially in the fall and winter. The smell is incredible and it dries quite nicely.
Dried Lavender
Who doesn’t love lavender’s scent, color, and shape? It is an amazing option for a great-smelling or long-lasting crown.
This funky flower is one of my favorites due to its fuzzy texture and round shape. It comes in several colors and looks playful and unique when incorporated into a crown with other flowers. It also keeps its shape for weeks, which makes it a good option for a long-lasting crown.
Seeded Eucalyptus
The texture of seeded eucalyptus has so much personality! It can look organic when woven into a crown with other greenery, but also adds a funky and free-spirited element to traditional blooms.
Ranunculus
Like spray roses, ranunculus come in many colors and look incredibly lush and full in a flower crown. You can’t go wrong when incorporating these statement blooms into any crown or flower arrangement.
This “filler flower” has a reputation of its own, but it looks incredibly sweet in a flower crown. Use it alone for a flower girl’s crown or mixed in with colorful flowers for a fuller look. It’s also always in season and very easy to find.
Delphiniums
If you are looking to incorporate bright blues or purples into your flower crown, I would suggest turning to delphiniums. These gorgeous blooms may not always be the easiest to find, but they make a colorful statement.
This pretty pink variety is not always the easiest to find, but I always turn to it when adding pink elements to my flower crowns. Solidago is also a great alternative if you prefer bright yellows with the same texture.
Ageratum
I am always on the hunt for good filler flowers to add volume to my flower crowns. This one has it all—color, texture, and shape!
