Flower crowns will always have a special place in our hearts; and how could they not? But with mermaid crowns on the rise, they might be a thing of the past. Here are ten our favorite crowns.

It's no secret that mermaid everything is trending right now: mermaid hair, mermaid nails, and even mermaid makeup is currently popular, so it really isn't very surprising that mermaid crowns are the next thing to be added to that list. Sure, flower crowns are still beautiful—but why limit ourselves to roses and lilies when we could use seashells, crystals, and magical-looking charms? Chelsea from @chelseasflowercrowns, our new favorite Instagram account, started with flowers too, but has evolved into a mermaid-crown-making master. 
 

This crown is definitely "eye-catching" with its stunning array of vibrantly colored seashells and the bright blue eye popping out in the center. Also, we love how great this crown goes with Chelsea's mint-colored hair—and we'd reckon this crown would look pretty good with some other bold hair colors, too.
 

The pretty pinks in this crown have us throwing it back to our childhoods, when fluffy princess dresses and tutus were all the rage and all we wanted to be was a mermaid princess (thanks, Ariel). This crown will definitely have you vibing with the inner mermaid princess you thought you'd left behind when you were five, and we bet Ariel would have ended up rocking this one if she hadn't traded her fins in for feet.
 

We love the uniqueness of this crown, with its black and silver accents and sharp, pointed shells, it's the edgiest of the bunch. Pair it with killer shades and a dark lip like Chelsea and you're bound to be the fashion icon at your next festival.
 

This mermaid crown is our top pick for fall festivals. We love the darker purples, greens, and blues included on this crown, with the natural shades of brown, black and cream of the shells bringing balance and evoking another aspect of fall. With the large, amber colored pendant and ornate moon charm front and center, we think this piece evokes the perfect amount of mystery for the season that is home to the spookiest holiday.
 

We love how this crown is just simple enough to be worn more casually, at least by the boldest of fashionistas. You can get away with glamming this crown up for the most outrageous of party outfits, or toning it down to rock at your squad's annual beach bonfire. Either way, you're bound to stand out.
 

The rainbow charm on this crown is definitely eye catching, but the subtle purples and blues worked into the crown are worth noting, too. You could pair this crown with whatever you wanted, whether that be a lacy, cream halter top or a brilliant sundress that is any color of the rainbow. Besides, it can never hurt to have a lucky elephant with you wherever you go!
 

If the colors in the last one were too subtle for you, you're bound to love this colorful creation. We also can't help but admire the overall mystic vibe of this crown, which is definitely amplified due to the prominent amber eye, multicolored sun and feather-charm accents.
 

If you have ever wanted to channel your inner mermaid while your walking down the aisle, this crown was probably made for you. There's something so radiant about these snow white seashells with the gold and light pink accents, and we love the sparkling crystals that fall right between the eyes. If you aren't getting married anytime soon (or maybe you already have!), pair this with white lace or fringe and you'll look like an angel straight from the sea.
 

The earthy tones accented by glittering gold makes this mermaid crown stunning without the employment of the bright pinks, blues or greens on many of the other crowns. This crown gives the wearer an opportunity to accent her beauty more naturally without being overshadowed by bright seashells and crystals. Pair this with a gold smokey eye and a natural lip and you're good to go!
 

Created while Chelsea was just beginning her transition from flower to mermaid crowns, we love this piece because it seems to pay homage to its origins: The ocean. We love the wide range of seashells (including some you could actually find on the beach yourself), and the beautiful, simple, blue accents that seem to call to the sea.
