I didn't know about SCA-wide sumptuary stuff myself, until someone
mentioned it on a herald's list I'm on.
 
Apparently it's a Laurel precedent:

When they say 'regalia' they apparently mean things you can wear, not just
charges on armory. 

However, it is wreaths of roses, not chaplets, that are restricted. *sigh*
