VEILS & HEADPIECES

The veil stands as a symbol of the bride's passage from being single to being married. While some brides forgo having a headpiece at all, if you do decide to wear one, remember to coordinate it with your attire. That is, if your dress is short, your veil should be too. It should generally be the same color and style as your gown. Typically, an elaborate gown would call for an elaborate headpiece.

Headpiece options range from delicate flowers, vintage lace, sheer illusion fabric or even the ever-so-popular hair vines found at my store :) www.handwired.etsy.com

Also important, it is wise to select your headpiece according to the shape of your head, your facial features and special-day hairstyle.

When trying on dresses, remember to try veils on at the same time so you will know how the two will look together. Also, try your veil with the hairstyle you plan to wear on the day of the wedding. A veil shouldn't completely cover the face, nor should it overpower your appearance.
Practice walking in your veil and try to get used to the way that it feels.

WEDDING ATTIRE

A wedding can range from the very formal to the semi-formal, or even casual, and often, the attire of the bride and grooms help dictate that. Very likely, the "wedding of your dreams" involves some style of wedding gown, whether it is an elaborate full gown or a crisp white linen suit.

Choose all your attire carefully, not only for you and your groom, but your bridesmaids' and mother of the bride's gown as well. Decisions involving wedding clothes is a time consuming process, so start early
