a crown of flowers instead of a tiara for the coronation.  What think you?

With the event being formal, I think the tiara is more appropriate.  However, she's beautiful in both.

Well, I love tiaras, so I'm always fond of seeing them on royals in British functions but I also love flowers. I don't think the flowers would look like the Tahitian or Hawaiian ones Kate is wearing in the photo. Maybe the planners are looking into historical headwear worn for previous coronations. If so, then I'd like that too.

I think the tiara is best!

I can see why she would choose flowers.

One does not wear white to a wedding unless one is the bride.  Perhaps she feels crowns and tiaras should be reserved for others on this day.

Queen Elizabeth did wear flowers in her hair once while touring the South Pacific but I don't think it would be appropriate for a coronation ceremony IMO.

She can wear whatever she wants to and looks good.

If there is such a thing, perhaps a low-key tiara is in order.  I agree that it is a formal event, and tiaras are worn at formal events.

Camilla will be in a crown, won't she?  Or will it get switched out for a tiara later?

If I could reach out to them personally, I would say to Kate's advisors and stylists, tiara, please.
