They are then kept by the couple as a reminder of their special day. They are placed on the heads of the newlyweds and are held together by a ribbon of white silk.

Costume headgear imitating a monarch's crown is also called a crown hat.Indeed, some monarchies never had a physical crown, just a heraldic representation, as in the constitutional kingdom of Belgium, where no coronation ever took place the royal installation is done by a solemn oath in parliament, wearing a military uniform: the King is not acknowledged as by divine right, but assumes the only hereditary public office in the service of the law so he in turn will swear in all members of 'his' federal government. A specific type of crown (or coronet for lower ranks of peerage) is employed in heraldry under strict rules. The word itself is used, particularly in Commonwealth countries, as an abstract name for the monarchy itself, as distinct from the individual who inhabits it (see The Crown).
