Orange Blossom head dress for victorian wedding

I finally found what I wanted to see and hear.
Princess Alexandra wore artificial orange blossom in 1863
and another site saying if orange blossom was not available they used wax orange blossom
So I've decided to order through these people who seem to be the only people on the net who sell good looking replicas and even kits for either wreath, half wreath and hair comb. I've order the wreath kit, as I can change my mind as long as I have the sprigs of orange blossom available.

How satisfied are you with the wreath? I am thinking of purchasing my own kit for a wreath from the same site but would like some feedback about the company before I do. Thanks for any help you can give!

I personally think they look great. Back in the 1880's if there were no fresh orange blossom they would wax orange blossom when they were in season to save for the wedding. I think these look way better than I would be able to wax real orange blossom. And princess Alexandras fake orange blossom does not good as this.
