I think jeweled bolero OR flower crown, but not both. also agree with PP that a simple crown would look better.

Hello lovely Bees! I actually have the same question…Below is the dress that I will be wearing at my wedding:
I cannot decide on whether I should do a flower crown or a juliet cap veil. I LOVE flower crowns (especially dainty all white ones) but fear that it may look disjointed with the dress style (Im wearing my hair down in cascading curls with a center part because it works well with my face). I feel that if I did a flower crown I may be able to get away with it if I steer clear of gaudy accessories. On the other hand I also love cap veils as they have an ethereal and angelic flare…….not sure wich headpiece+veil combination would go perfectly with my dress….any suggestions ladies?
I’m obviously biased though. 🙂 But I loved having a flower crown. Do what you want, no regrets!
islandprincess7 : I think it depends on your dress. As PPs said the OP her dress choice is light and flowy. I see your dress with more of a tiara or traditional veil.
I agree with pp joesbride above, and I don’t believe a Juliet cap/veil goes with it either, as your dress is more princessy and traditional, and IMO flower crowns and Juliet caps etc belong much more to the boho/ethereal genre. I think your gown calls for a long (chapel/cathedral) plain or possibly very finely edged veil , worn from the crown of the head, not ‘ponytail’ style.
I know it doesn’t really matter if looks are mixed and of course anyone can wear anything they like, but I do believe the best overall looks are where a theme has been understood and followed . I hope OP, for instance, did NOT go with the jewelled bolero, pretty though they are. .
Your dress is lovely btw and I note it looks at its best in the pics where there is minimal jewellery . Far too much pearl action in the first pic!
I personally think you could get away with a Juliet cap, but I would steer clear of a flower crown with this one. It’s a much more formal ball gown than OP’s, so I think a flower crown would look out of place. It’s a gorgeous dress though – you need to pick accessories that do it justice!
Definitely go with a flower crown! I am wearing Hayley Paige’s “Halo” ballgown for my beach wedding and I am totally rocking a flower crown. My bridesmaids will also wear smaller flower crowns.
Your dress is floaty and dreamy. A flower crown will look beautiful….
elderbee : Yeah I totally agree! the “overjewelled” look bothers me too , I certainly do not plan to wear all of that extra stuff hahaa
Thank you ladies so much! I think I will go for the cathedral veil and more traditional headpiece 🙂
islandprincess7 : your dress is honestly much too formal to wear with a flower crown. A tiara or elegant updo might be better
