the last in the spring flower crown series is a more outrageous take on the cherry blossom headpiece. these photos turned out as my absolute favourites and the shoot proved to be the most fun as well. you wouldn't believe how ridiculous you look and feel in the middle of a public park with branches stuck on your head as antlers; giddiness ensued. i'm so pleased they ended up as ethereal and magical as they did, considering how unromantic they seemed at the time.

This outtake is probably my fave of all the flower crowns, it really captures what a lovely time we were having taking magical little moments from our imaginations and bringing them to life; the joy of creating. See our floral crowns for winter, here.

i couldn't do a spring floral crown series and look past the poppy. these beauties sing spring with their bright colours and delicate shapes. i used to find that i would often get a bunch that would be tight in their buds and never really open (i have since discovered that, when you buy them closed, you must cut the ends a little bit, put them in a small amount of warm water and place them in direct sunshine or even under a lamp. they will surely bloom this way!), so i tried to embrace the bud in this piece. poppies are so beautiful at every stage...

check out the winter crowns too.

what says 'spring' more than cherry blossoms? next, in the spring floral crown series, i used blossoms of the pink variety. this is a simple version...a more ambitious headpiece to follow...

spring is in full swing down under and the blooms in sydney have popped up everywhere it seems. *i have to remind myself to keep my eye on the road and not on the floral scenery when i'm driving these days.

so, with this colourful inspiration in the air, i felt like making some beautiful spring flower crowns. i had so much fun with my winter floral crowns that i am going to do it for all seasons this year. stay tuned.

for the first of the spring series i chose ranunculus in my favourite colour- orange (the colour options are endless with this flower)- and golden light!
