    K, I got my hair trial this weekend and for once I actually really liked it (I've done 3 before and hated them!!) My only concern is if the feather headpiece takes away from the style. I really want to wear it but I'm not sure?? What do you think?

    Wow, I think your hair looks beautiful!  And I personally LOVE the feather accent.  I don't think it takes away from the hair, I think it adds an elegant touch.  You look gorgeous!

    I love the hairstyle but my jury is out on the feather headpiece...I don't know if it's necessary-the style is so classic and romantic!

    Thanks Ladies! I love the feather, it's a custom designed Sara Gabriel so I really want to wear it but I just don't know if it takes away from the hair, as Miss Bravo said. I'll probably wear it anyway though since I love it so much!

    Love your hair! I know I'm in the minority, but personally, the feather headpiece doesn't do much for me. I think it covers up your gorgeous hair!

    the hair is gorgeous. i don't think the feather takes away from the hair, and since it sounds like you really want to wear it, go for it!

    Wear it! I think your hair alone looks beautiful, but the flutter of the little feathers just adds a little more flourish! It looks great! It's a special day, wear a little something special in your hair :)

    @baffled111- Aww, thanks!! I'm honored!! The inspiration pics I brought to my hairdresser were from this past Fall or Winter's issue of In Style Weddings, one was of Evangeline Lilly and the other was I believe of Kristin Cavallari. If you have those issues you might be able to find it! My hairdresser did a pretty good job of replicating them.

    You look lovely! I love your hair, its just gorgeous! Probably one of the nicest updo's I've seen in awhile. However (I'm one of the odd bee's out) I think that the feather takes away from your hairstyle.

    Maybe if I knew what your dress looked like I'd feel differently, but your hair just looks so stunning on its own!

    Regardless of what you choose-- you'll be a beautiful bride with the best hair. Ever! hehe

    AH you're gorgeous!! :) I think the feather is awesome-the look is also great alone...I think this one depends mostly on the style of your dress and wedding.

    Love the hair, the feather, and the dress! The feather looks like it will go really well with the style of the dress.

    I LOVE your hair - i also love it with the feather (although I fully admit I'm partial b/c I wore feathers in my hair for our wedding).  Perhaps wear the veil for the ceremony, and then change to just the feather for the party?
