I thought it would be bigger [SEP] I was going to wear this in my wedding, but it's so much smaller than I wanted. Now I might just wear it at my reception instead. It came in a box, but the highest point of the tiara punctured the box. I had to pull out a tape measure and it does measure 2 inches from the base to the highest point, it just doesn't seem like it. *I wore it on my honeymoon cruise and everyone kept assuming it was my birthday.
