Canada: Pick Ontario promotes local flower crowns

Pick Ontario has created a video to promote local flowers, encouraging people to make flower crowns.

“A flower crown is what’s ‘in’ right now,” says Jesseline Gough, Marketing Coordinator at pickOntario. “Weddings, pride parades, maternity shoots, lunch with the gals, festivals— you can quite literally make a statement anywhere you go.”

Learn how to build your own flower crown by watching pickOntario’s 2-minute tutorial video, or following these easy steps:

What you’ll need:

Ontario grown ivy
Florist wire
Scissors
Ontario grown bouquet, potted plants, flowers, bedding plants

Step 1: Have about 2 feet of Ontario grown ivy ready
Step 2: Level 1 inch of stem
Step 3: Wrap the wire around the top of the branch to secure it
Step 4: Wrap the wire around the flower stem several times
Step 5: Repeat wrapping with the remaining flowers
Step 6: Wrap in the same direction working down the branch and continue adding until you see the look you want
Step 6: Bring the ends together and wrap firmly
Step 7: Now, wear your crown like the queen you are!
Step 8: Snap some selfies, and share with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using #pickOntario

“The best thing about this flawless accessory is that it never goes out of style,” adds Jesseline. “Some may think it’s only a spring or summer trend, but why not add some seasonal beauty by hosting a flower crown party this winter as well.”

Check out the Floral Market and Flower Crown Bar at Canada Blooms, taking place March 10-19, 2017.
