May Crowning Need

[CathMass]

My priest has asked me to find a certain blessing for our May Crowning ceremony. Does anyone know where I can find the text of a blessing for the crown used at a May Crowning?

Msgr. (now bishop) Peter J. Elliott has instructions on crowning an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary in his book “Ceremonies of the Liturgical Year”. He says that the authorized rite is “The Order of Crowning of an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary”. Maybe your priest could obtain a copy of the from the diocesan liturgy office.
