Hi Everyone! Thanks for tuning in to another installment of Floriography! This week I made a Valentine's Day inspired flower crown! Flower crowns are all the rage these days, and I am a huge fan! They can be sweet, romantic, bohemian, or just plain fun!
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I wanted to come up with something to celebrate the holiday! When I found these precious Spray Roses and Aster, I knew a flower crown would be perfect!

| White Aster |
This was my first flower crown to make. It was fun! There are some changes I'll make in my technique in future flower crowns, and I know there are many other ways to make them! I can't wait to try out more!
The materials I used:
- Gauge 22 Floral Wire
- Floral Tape
- Wire Cutters
- Scissors
- Spray Roses
- Spray Rose Leaves
- White Aster

The pictures below show the process I used to create the crown:
 |
| Step 1: Wrap the measured wire in floral tape. |
 |
| Step 2: Wrap two or three stems with floral tape and make a bunch. |
 |
| Step 3: Use the floral tape to attach the bunch to your base wire. |
After that, you just keep repeating steps two and three with your desired flowers/bunches - laying each new bunch on top of the stems from the previous bunch. Easy peasy! Also, I'm definitely still wearing the flower crown as I write this - it makes me feel pretty! And who doesn't like to feel pretty on random Tuesdays?

| Final Product! |
This week's lesson in Floriography:
- Red Roses (in any variety) symbolize romantic love! Perfect for Valentine's Day!
- Aster's meaning changes depending on the color. White Aster symbolizes daintiness - which is fitting for this adorable little wildflower!
Thanks for joining me this week!! This Saturday, I'll be going to a floral workshop in Houston! I'm so excited, and I'll be sharing my experience and creation with you in my next post!
