wedding crown

Ceremonial marriage circlet

A wedding crown is an ornamental headpiece worn by brides or both spouses during marriage ceremonies, especially in Eastern Orthodox, Scandinavian, and other European traditions.

In Orthodox Christian weddings, matching crowns are placed on both bride and groom during the crowning ceremony, symbolizing their establishment as king and queen of a new household.

The crowns may be metal, floral, or woven from natural materials depending on cultural tradition.
