Thank you Stefan and PJ.
I have Twining's smaller book and did not think to look in it.
So here is my scan of a page of three nuptial crowns - Hanover, Prussia and Russia - from Twining's European Regalia.
He says -
" It was the practice in Prussia for the crown jewels to be worn at royal weddings, and in 1793 a crown embellished with diamonds was made for the bride
- Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz - of the Crown Prince Frederick William. This crown was afterwards worn by Prussian princesses a their weddings. "
