Princess Madeleine of Sweden showed us all how a princess does flowers in her hair for her son Prince Nicolas' christening over the weekend. The answer? No pedestrian flower crowns for her—she wore a cascade of blooms down one side of her head. The end result was grown-up and chic, not girly or trite the way a ring of blossoms around her head could have looked. Sure, some people can get away with flower crowns (like these looks we spotted over the summer), but royals know that when the world is looking to you to be the picture of sophistication, something so expected just won't do. Another element we love here? She went with flowers all in the same color, so they created an ornament that whispered instead of shouted, making sure not to steal too much of the attention away from her adorable son's moment. All in all it was the perfect choice for the occasion—or any occasion when blooms in hair might be appropriate. This brings us to the conclusion that we'll continue to wear flowers in our hair for 2015 and early 2016. Expect side-blooms to show up at weddings, black-tie events, and maybe even Coachella in the spring. It's a look that updates any updo and it's screaming to be copied, so pin this one to remember later. Need more inspiration? Selena Gomez wore a similar style earlier this year—but all in white—that will get you dreaming about flowers for days.
