flower crowns with anthropologie!

blogAnthropologie-Soho-Naomi-(1a few weeks ago, i hosted a fun morning of flower crown making at anthropologie’s soho store. a couple of my girlfriend’s and i spent the early morning hours of saturday in the flower district picking out all sorts of beautiful flowers and greenery for the event. i don’t know how i haven’t spent more time down in the flower district until now, but i’m making it a point to go back again soon. it’s awesome over there! in my next life, i’m going to be a florist.

flower crowns are one of my favorite things. they make me happy when i see someone sporting one and also, they can be simple and easy to make. i look forward to making many with eleanor as she grows older over the next several years.

i had such a fun morning with the ladies who attended the event. thank you so much for coming! a special thank you to anthropologie  for inviting me to host and also to photographer alexandra wolf for the beautiful photos you see in this post!

    The dress, omg the dress.

  8. Feeling very inspired to make one of these for my wedding in June. They all look so amazing!

  9. Love the flower crowns! So many great and colorful ideas, especially now that fall is coming. I love how inspiring Anthropologie is, they really did a great job of branding their lifestyle to their customers. I used to work there and I felt like I was living inside a design magazine everyday.

    You all look absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to make many of these with my little girl over the years!

  11. Sarah

    Naomi you look absolutely amazingly stunning. Your hair compliments both your outfit and your makeup. I love how you styled the outfit and how natural your makeup looks. Also i know how random this is but your eyebrows look great!! Your such a natural beauty on the outside but especially on the in!! Have a great day because you have made mine xx

  12. Mónica

    The flowers are spectacular headdresses. These beautiful. Kisses and happy last Wednesday morning Friday.

  13. What a great looking workshop this is! I don’t think flower crowns are a thing here because I’ve never once seen anyone wearing one, but they should be! They are so pretty, as are you as you lead the way to perfect crown making.

  14. Beautiful crowns, you made a wonderful job! All the ladies look great with the flower crowns, Love Alexandra’s pictures as well :) specially the photo of the lady with the bird and cage tattoo, well seen! :)

  15. Nikki

    these are so lovely!

  16. So gorgeous, and those flowers are quite the lookers as well! ;)

  17. RoselyC

    What a cool event. Now I want my own flower crown too.

  18. Dana

    Beautiful crowns! And your dress is amazing- Is it Anthropologie?

  19. My very first comment here, Naomi.
    Although I read every single post here for about a year. It’s a shame, I know, that’s exactly what upset me about my own blog readers ;)

    I wish I could live in the US so I could have been here at this cool event !
    Paris is great, I can’t complain.

    Keep on blogging, I love your universe and pretty face.
    I’m just really frustrating you never mention where you’re clothes and accessories are from. This is not the point of your blog, but still…

    Bisous !

    What a fun little workshop! Everyone looks great. I think this would be a good idea for a little girls birthday party, maybe 8 or 9 years old?

    You look lovely Naomi and the flowers you picked are just stunning. I so wish I could have attended the event. (I would have loved to meet you!) I’m headed to New York next weekend, just a little too late! I will be definitely making a stop in the flower district for sure now after seeing this post! I wish DC had one, I have such a flower addiction.

    Beautiful! We used to make flower crowns every May in college, and it was so much fun (and so much easier than I thought, to make something really pretty!). Great pictures, and thanks for sharing :) Hopefully next time I’m in NYC I’ll be able to attend one!

  35. Cornelia

    Also…where did you get your dress??

  36. Kelsey

    How FUN!! I used to do visual merchandising for Anthropologie in Scottsdale, AZ and I loved when they would let us do creative events. We did a lot of kids things, but this is amazing!! The crowns are beautiful.

  37. Teresa

  40. Taylor

    I love the dress you’re wearing here! So summery and beautiful. Believe it or not, I’ve never made a flower crown! Too bad I’m too far away to have attended the event.

  43. I had such a wonderful time at this event. Thank you so much, and thanks for the beautiful post. I had such fun wearing my flower crown all over Brooklyn.

  44. V Honey

    I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing a flower crown in a concrete jungle, but it would’ve been neat to make and put on my front door! :)

  45. You’re absolutely breath taking in that first photo !!!! Looks like it was a fun event!

  46. Rayani

    You look so beautiful and happy.
    You spread inspiration…

  48. Kate

    That dress looks gorgeous on you. May I please ask where it’s from?

  49. Clare

    Hi Naomi!
    Awesome event! I’m sure it was loads of fun and smiles!

    I’m actually from Hawaii and it’s a traditional thing for us to wear them for certain occasions :) I had one given to me during my high school and college graduation and a lot of older Hawaiian women wear them to parties and hula events too! (Oh and hula dancers wear ti leaf crowns)

    Thanks for sharing!

    <3 Clare
