With my mind flittering between my big move from the city to country (more on that later) and my upcoming wedding, I'm finding it quite difficult to concentrate on the present moment. At the present, I'm trying to work out whether to wear a hat/flower/fascinator (call it what you may) for the reception of my wedding. I showed my mum some ideas, and her gasp of shock "don't you think thats a little 'race-wear'?". My dress is going to be quite simple, so a little detail here wouldn't hurt, would it? I couldn't really see me wearing a veil for the reception. My best friend's recent wedding, she had a removable bustle & train - talk about reception entrance! (took us 4 bridesmaids to take it off!) Does anyone have experience with this or do you think we've gone a little too 'fasionista' for weddings these days?
ps. I'm loving ALL of these dresses as well!

Any excuse is a good excuse and what's more fabulous than your wedding!
ReplyDeleteI wore a fascinator, instead of a veil (we had a garden wedding) and I'm so glad I did. I had Sydney's Neil Grigg make up something based on the piece Princess Mary wore to her sons christening. I sent him down some small pieces of my dress fabric and let his creative genius run with it. Here is a picture for you: http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn63/swishandswanky/headpiece.jpg

Oh Amanda, that is simply beautiful! That's exactly what I'm thinking - something soft and special. Neil Grigg, oh how lovely. Thank you for your help.
