The tradition of the coronation of the Virgin is a strong one in Catholicism, and all the Maria's I see in churches across Andalusia are completed with flower crowns. During her Processions she will often wear fresh flowers.
After her death, she is supposed to have Risen and then been Crowned by the one or another of the Holy Trinity. Although the story is recounted from the II century, it is in 11th century France that it took off big style, and the Coronation was on the doors of Notre Dame. She was crowned with flowers to reflect her femininity.
See, ie, Velzaquez's Coronación de la Virgen (1645)
