I've posted before about the weird outfit I'm putting together for my wedding, but tonight was the first time that I tried putting on my ... er ... veil? Headpiece? Hair extensions? I'm not sure what to call them.

I wanted to post pictures just to get feedback...the two headpieces are made from strips of fabric that's being used from the rest of my wedding outfit. My only concern is that they look too...well, raggy. Aside from that though, I think they turned out really cool -- I LOVE the length.



I'd also love to open this thread up to anyone else who's going for headpieces that are way untraditional.

I love the concept. LOVE IT.

But.

I think you may be right that it is a bit raggy...for me it draws attention away from the crown (and your face). Have you thought about using the same concept but using those gossamer-y ribbons in coordinating colors rather than fabric strips? Or maybe attach most of the strips behind your adorable ear-buns and only wrap one or two around? That might give it a bit more finished look.

I don't mean to be negative. It really is SO cute and woodland nymphish.

stellaluna, no need to worry about being negative -- I said I wanted feedback and I meant it! Very Happy

I really like your ribbon idea. These things are SO easy to make (literally just thick elastic bands with the fabric tied on), that modifying them with ribbons would be easy and might go a long way towards making them look a little more tidy.

I like the texture that the fabric gives (and certainly I'd want to keep SOME of the actual fabric from the rest of my outfit) but I'm wondering if using mostly ribbon as filler would eliminate some of the ragginess? Good suggestion!!

Complete and totally hijack, but...

There are so many totally devine, fabulous Indies on this board that I'm seriously re-considering if I should be marrying a man at all.

Anyway...

Sigh. That is gorgeous. You look stunning. And I think ribbons with some fabric strips, or different width ribbons with wide ones in the fabric colours, will be totally Radical Bride.

Sigh.

Wait, red dress? I'm confused. My outfit (which is cream, lime green, and sky blue) isn't shown in any of the photos.

Ariel, I think ClassicsWoman was referring to the thread you linked in your first post, where you had two of your friend's dresses linked. The first one was red, the second was brown. Sorry to jump in here, but I noticed that no one had replied and thought I caught ClassicsWoman's train of thought.

Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification, tree519!

For what it's worth, I just ordered some lime green and ivory organza ribbon to use in the veil. I think I'll swap out some of the more "raggy" fabrics, like the silver lame' etc.

Thanks again for all your feedback!

Ahhhh, it turned out looking GORGEOUS! As if we had any doubts. Wink

I think I may copy your lovely ribbony-ness instead of having a tulle veil, too!

That’s a great point to bring up. There are certainly a lot of buy phentermine details like that to take into consideration. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be travel insurance working in honest good faith. I don’t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game if you are commenting as an individual.homeowners insurance
