Turn Your Day of The Dead Floral Crown Into 10 More Costume Ideas

Oct. 31, 2012— -- The Day of the Dead skeleton woman isn't the only boney lady to rock floral headpieces. The Catrina female skeleton, known as the "Lady of the Dead," is one of the most important figures in any Day of the Dead celebration.

The whole celebration is actually supposed to be dedicated to her. Lucky girl. One of her trademarks is her flower crown made of marigolds, carnations, roses, and just about any blooming blossom. But don't get bigheaded you pancake-faced jellybones... you're not the first lady to put flowers on your head.

Scott McKenzie suggested it in 1967: "If you are going to San Francisco. Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair." Led Zeppelin sweetly sung it in 1971: "Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair." And now I'm telling you: "Go out and get yourself a flower crown."
