    I'm having the worst time trying to put together my day of look. Partially b/c I can never see everything together. First, here's me in my dress:

    Hair, veil, flower, OH MY (pic heavy) :  wedding IMG 0278

    Had my hair trial this weekend and had the chance to play around with some various accessories I've been hoarding. I think after seeing some pictures, I'm liking veil for ceremony and white flower for reception. What do you think?

    I know that the flower may not be the best choice to match my dress, but I really love the look. So I'm debating between the flower and a sparkly haircomb (have yet to purchase)

    (With veil, getting the strapless effect with a horrible tube top/strapless bra)

    Pink hair flower...(I borrowed this and would have it made in white, but honestly I think it might be just too big on me)

    And last but not least...flower WITH veil (i think this might be too much and would probably swap. do you agree?)

    I LOVE the veil - definitely wear the veil for the ceremony.  The white flower just isn't doing it for me and I agree that the pink flower is too big.  I would either get a more intricate white flower or try a sparkly hair comb.

    I love the veil for the ceremony and the flower for the reception. I voted for the white flower, but now that I'm looking at it more, I kind of like the way the larger flower looks, especially from the front. It has a nice silhouette. 

    And yeah, I agree, veil + flower = too much at once.

    I like the size of the pink flower a lot, and the color is nice and subtle...love it for the reception (or heck, for the ceremony too, but this is coming from a bride who wore an enormous flower in her hair instead of a veil)! I think the veil is very pretty - and if it makes you feel like a bride you should definitely wear it! I suppose it is one of the only times (if not THE only) in your life you'd be wearing one!

    I like the size of the white flower, but maybe not that particular one.  I think one a little dressier/sparklier would be better.  But it's a little blurry, so I'm not sure.  I'd say wear the veil for the ceremony and then switch to a hair flower for the reception.
