I agree with tiggsam-white flowers with a splash of color!

Congrats on booking your flight

You know, I agree on the splash of color! I think that looks nicest and most, hmm... bride-like? And thank youuu!

Yea for booking your flights!

Thanks muchly, Laurie!! I'm pretty thrilled with all of it! So excited about WDW! Still can't thank you enough for telling us about DVC! Now, we still need to buy tickets to the park but with our flights and 5 night stay, it's costing us roughly $1350! I still can't believe it!

I like the STDs and the necklace is lovely. That is great you've booked your flights.

It's my pleasure to share! :yes: It's not as nice as all of the creative girls on here have made (or have had made) but I'm okay with it. I'm not too crafty so I appreciate Disney doing it for me. And thank you!

That necklace is so beautiful!!!! You got it from etsy right? And congrats on the honeymoon

 

[ghoulish delight]

Guess what??!! Only... 10 MORE MONTHS!!!!!!

I ordered some handmade bridal earrings yesterday! Mine will look a tiny bit different. The pearls on mine will be white and the earrings will be on posts instead of french hooks.

I wanted some simple that matched my necklace really well. So again, I shall model them once I get them in the mail!

So, it's time for me to call upon you beautiful ladies with amazing taste again! I'm having another bridal dilemma. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but here goes!

I am so entirely torn on what to do for my veil! As it stands now, when my gown is ready, there will also be some extra sparkle-tulle along with it. The bridal shop intended to make me a veil using this material. I loved the idea originally but ever since have been second guessing. As it may have been noticed, I have a great attraction to vintage glam. I am deeply in love with birdcage veils, which is what I keep wondering if I should go with instead.

I'm concerned that maybe it would look odd with my style of dress though? OR that maybe it will become one of those type of wedding trends that 20 years from now I'll wonder why I did it. Sort of like the poor brides of the '80s that had the poofy hair and poofy sleeves. Sorry, I'm rambling now! Lol!

My question is - what do you guys think? Do you think it would look good? Would it withstand time in photos? Should I really even care if it wound up seeming like a fad if I loved it anyway? All input is welcomed and appreciated!

 

[redlight]

I don't have any advice on the veil, but I wanted to say that I love the earrings!

Thank you dear! And you bet! Etsy always saves the day!!!

Hehe, well I appreciate the honesty! It's such a tough decision!! And thank you!

I think a birdcage veil would go great with all your Katy Perry hair etc. I don't think it needs to 'go' with your dress. Your dress is rather unique and who's to say that a traditional veil 'goes' any better with it than a birdcage? You should do what you feel is right and I think for you that is a birdcage. Will it one day seam dated? Maybe. But someday a white dress may seam dated, or weddings in general. I vote birdcage, because I think you would totally rock it.

and no I am not biase because I have a birdcage

You are playing to me as a very wise voice of reason right now Becky! Your bias has nothing to do with it! Lol! But truly, I'm tending to believe you may be right! I keep thinking about how if my hair is going to be in a pinup do how it might be bizarre to have a traditional elbow length veil AND a hair flower? It just seems off to me.

Either way, I am surely grateful for your opinion!

 

[LLLBelle]

I'm glad I could help! I'll let you know if I find any good prices for tickets.

Okay, this veil business. I had to go back and look at your dress and do I think the veil looks beautiful with the dress. . .yes. However, I don't think it is what you want, nor the style you are going for. I'm not a huge fan of the birdcage veil, but I think it will go with the style you are going for, I would have to see it to give an honest opinion

I say go for what you want, not what people "claim" is how it it suppose to be. If you are worried about the look 20 years from now, you can always do a veil for the ceremony and the birdcage for the reception. Because you also don't want to look at the pictures 20 years from know and wish you had. . .

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

What was the look of veils for the period of pin up hair styles? Maybe go with that?

I also like the idea of long veil for the wedding...bird cage for the reception...

 

[Shyvioletisme]

I say go with the birdcage if that's what you really want...what matters is that you like it now!!!
But then again I'm not a fan of regular veils at all...but I do love the birdcages and fascinators.
But what really matters is that you like what you pick...if you like the idea/look of the birdcage, then definitely go for it.

 

[BecBennett]

I love the look of birdcage veils, and think they look gorgeous in photos. However, personally I'm going to have a veil, and it comes back to the same reason as to why my wedding dress will be poofy - when else can I wear one??

In Oz, we wear fascinators and birdcages with cocktail dresses when we go to a day at the races, so they're not all that special.

Is there an extra charge to get the veil made? Or is it included in the price of your dress? If it's included get it, and you could try both at your hair trial.

I appreciate it!

Here's the thing.. there's birdcage veils and there's birdcage veils. Lol. Some are really atrocious! I might have to find some good examples of ones I think are nice. Your idea about switching veils is a good one! I might have to keep that in mind. That way I'd have both. Hmm... too many choices!

I'm not sure to be honest with ya! I might have to look it up and see what I find. And she definitely had a good idea in that!

That is very very true! I think the birdcage veils are very cute and a bit quirky. But they also have a classic feel to me that I love. Darn having to choose! I think what I'm doing is convincing myself to go with one with the help of all you lovelies! Hehe.

Ahh, well I understand your thinking as to why you want a traditional veil then! Makes good sense.

There is an extra charge to have that veil made. Sigh. The extra material wasn't very much, but to have it custom made for me may be another $60-$100. I'd rather take the material and use it somewhere else somehow than waste it if I go with the birdcage veil instead. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have both styles of veils (even if it's not the exact one I'd use) for my hair trial though!

Oh your std's are cute! I love that stamp, that is the stamp I used for my invites!

As for the veil, go for what YOU want, it's your day. Follow your heart. Who cares what the pictures look like in years to come. I think that happens with all pictures anyway! Hey, maybe it will give you a reason to do a VR at DW so we can follow along on another PJ...

 

[Cleofish]

Okies, first things first - I love the earrings, they're stunning !

As for the veils, you know how much I love the birdcages, and esp with the Katy Perry pin-up I just think it would look immense (remember the "Hot & Cold" video??). Now I know your dress is kinda princessy, but I still think a birdcage would work, although in the same breath I think a long veil with a flower would still work. I'm biased because I'm a lover of the birdcage, so I'm being careful with how much I mention it!

I think you know you better than anyone, so you will know in your heart which is best - you have just as amazing taste as any of us. Either way you will look perfect on your wedding day whichever you choose!!! xx
