well, this article is about making your own flower wreath, but maybe you could find a way to attach stems to shells and put them together into a wreath. Then you could gather some tulle or long ribbons in your wedding colors and attach to the back for the veil part? http://offbeatbride.com/2009/07/floral-head-wreath-how-to i'd love to see pics if you do this, sounds like a very cool, unique idea!
