Piece one of the Wedding outfit comes home

May I introduce my bridal circlet, worn by my great-great grandmother Nelly for her wedding 125 years ago? It was bought for her in the South Seas by my great-great grandfather Albert so that she would have both something to wear and something to carry for the wedding, since he, as a sea captain, was not rich.

<b>EDIT: I hould mention the entire headpiece is made out of shells from the South Sea, not from flowers.</b>
