It is no secret, I love a good flower crown. Fake flowers, fresh flowers, homemade, or bought from a store, I love them all. When I got to Colorado, one of the things I was most excited about was the new flowers available to me because of the different climate. By far one of my favorite new flowers for a flower crown is Russian Sage. It thrives in drought conditions, so there is Russian Sage pretty much everywhere you look. AND IT IS PERFECT FOR FLOWER CROWNS!!!! |
How to make a fresh Fall flower crown with Russian Sage
Russian Sage is the perfect canvas for an amazing flower crown because the stems are long enough that one branch cut at the base is long enough to go around your entire head. It is thin enough to be bent into a shape and thick enough to stay in that shape.
Once your crown is dry you have a real flower crown that can be used over and over. I love this because most fresh flower crowns wilt and can only be used for one day. SInce this one is an herb it keeps its form and even looks better once it is dried out. It also has a lovely lavender like smell which is an awesome bonus. In the future I might try adding some fake flowers to make it even more full since this is such an amazing crown base.
