In Norway all brides wore some kind of special headdress.
In the south and east of the country it was usually made
of cloth or other material, smothered with ribbons, beads
and silver appliqués. Bridal crowns were mainly used in
the west of Norway. These crowns are full of symbolic
values. The crown itself recalls the crown of the Virgin,
and represents purity or virginity.

Hi. This is very similar to the Sami bridal Crown exhibited at Nordiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. You can see it in this posting.
