Ready for your vacation to Moorea French Polynesia and need to know where to buy the best flower crown? You are in the right place. One does not need a reason or special occasion to wear a flower crown. Any day, any time, you are allowed to feel like a Tahitian princess.
where to buy flower crowns
As you drive around the island, keep an eye out for the locals selling fruits and vegetables, sometimes those stands will include flower crowns and necklaces.
My favorite ladies, who (in my opinion) make some of the best flower crowns are at the market in Papeete in Tahiti and in Moorea the ladies near the ferry. Located on the seaside before you reach, the grocery store, Champion.
how much do they cost
Each flower crown can range from 20 – 30 USD. On my last trip to Moorea, I hosted a group trip where we made crowns by hand.
The beautiful crown, picture above, took about two hours to complete. With the amount of labor put into each crown plus the time to gather fresh flowers and leafy greens daily, well, the cost is well worth it.
tip to make them last
You can extend the life of your flower crown by storing it overnight in the refrigerator. In the past, many have told me to store it in the refrigerator in a shallow dish of water. However, after many tests, it is best to store it without water.
a flower a day
It is common to place a single flower behind one of your ears.
Behind your right ear if you are available and behind your left ear if you are taken.
