MORE THAN ONE WAY TO WEAR FLOWERS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
Whether worn in a continuous circlet or sprinkled through your hair, flowers are a hot trend still burning like wildfire. Floral wreaths aren't new to complimenting bridal wear. Queen Victoria wore a wreath of orange blossoms with a veil of Honiton lace back in the 19th Century when she married Prince Albert. In the 1920s, brides wore a wreath of florals and long flowing veils with shorter dresses. The trending wave we're seeing now for these spectacular floral accents may have to do with how beautifully this topping-it-all-off accessory goes with Boho as well as styles reminiscent of the 20s-30s era. Below you'll more than a few options for donning flowers on your wedding day

Did you know some silk florals in wreaths look just like fresh picked flowers out of the garden? The wreath I designed below is made up of silk Magnolias mixed with living ivy in both the hedpiece and added to the front bodice. Hand-rolled flowers can be made out of all kinds of fbric: dupioni, organza or shantung, sometimes in the same fabric as your gown.
