Bridal hair - help!

[LetsGoDoDoDo]

DP and I are eloping next week, just the two of us (2nd marriages, everyone knows and is happy for us).

I ordered a dried floral bouquet, boutonniere and crown from a fab independent business. Really happy with the bouquet and boutonniere, however, having tried on the crown I've come to realise that it is far too dramatic for a 40 year old eloping bride. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of drama but this would be going too far! Even 10 year old DD burst out laughing when I tried it on and she's normally my biggest cheerleader 😀

I think I might be able to reuse the flowers from the crown in my hair but now I'm stumped for how to style it. I'm going for a boho vibe, wearing a bridal, lace, boxy, cropped top and high waisted chiffon maxi skirt.

I have mid length blonde hair that looks best styled wavy. I'll be doing my own hair and makeup on the day.

Any ideas/sources of inspiration?

TIA

Is it long enough to do the double braid style in this article and fix with some of your crown flowers.

I think half up with flowers at the back would look less dramatic. Maybe a more beach wave version of this sort of thing.

Sorry the stupid site isn’t letting me upload the pics!

You can wire individual buds and thread them through your hair if you want a very boho style.

Easier if you have a glue gun is just whack a few of them on a clear comb/ barrette depending on how you're having your hair and tuck in at the crown/side of a chignon/top of a pony etc

Here's one I made earlier...

Love this sort of thing

That kind of thing

Thank you for all your suggestions and pics :) I think I might be able to reuse the flowers from the crown. I do have a glue gun so shall have a play around this weekend - I'm not as talented as @LadyOfTheCanyon though but will have a go!

I really like the hairstyles that have been shared so will find a tutorial on YouTube for something similar :)

Exciting! YEs, little plaits or even twists secured with hairpins and then tuck your flowers in. Could crown be repurposed as a table centrepiece?!

@trombonetoblerone we're eloping so no need for centre pieces! Ww can hang it as a wreath though 😀

Liking the suggestion of plaits/twists

If the crown is on a wire base you may be able to cut a section out using pliers, form loops at either end and put hairpins/grips/ribbon through the loops to attach it to your hair.
