History

This type of flower was used to trim a wedding veil. These flowers were from the residence of Mrs. Macdonald following her death in July of 1969 and since they were with items of her trousseau it is entirely possible that they were part of her bridal clothes. This detail does not show in her wedding-day photograph although they could well have been worn but hidden in photograph by her veil and hair dress.
