So, you're not the kind of bride who wears flowers in her hair. We get it! Your style is simple and slightly-understated, and you prefer a neutral color palette, especially when it comes to your big day. If you're planning a celebration that errs on the ethereal, romantic side and want to look the part, wearing a natural headpiece might fit that aesthetic. To go sans color, consider the anti-flower crown—a circle of green-only foliage, woven from the prettiest leaves.
If you're worried that these non-floral adornments are one-note, think again. With so many pretty leaf varieties out there—like eucalyptus, olive, ivy, and clover—there are so many exciting ways to go green on your wedding day. The following brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls from real weddings prove that no two greenery crowns have to look the same. We loved how one bride wore a full, leafy headpiece that spilled onto her forehead. Another opted for something daintier, favoring a skinny woven option that complemented the leaves embroidered on her wedding dress.
Other brides kept their crowns free of florals entirely, but introduced other natural elements, like green berries. If you want to break up all the green, take notes from several women featured here, who punctuated their leafy wreaths with one or two white wildflowers or a sprig of barely-there baby's breath. However you decide to try out this trend, there's an earthy option here for you. Big or small, lush or understated, these greenery crowns are sure to bring an unexpected touch to your bridal style.
Pretty Pairing
Offset a lush, over-the-top bouquet with a simple green accessory, crafted with the same leaves the appear in your bouquet.
Olive and Berries
Greenery crowns don't have to be exclusively leafy. Take a hint from this bride, who interwove her olive leaf halo with neutral berries.
Green Groom

Go with the Flow
We love how this natural hair piece follows the curve and curl of this bride's loose, romantic updo.
Leaf Scrunchie
Consider twisting foliage around your low bun, instead of around the crown of your head. This one is technically floral—it's made of new hydrangea buds broken out from the larger flower—but a similar effect could be made using clover or another small green leaf.
Baby Buds
Upgrade a simple seeded eucalyptus tiara with barely-there sprigs of wax flower.
Lots of Volume
