Help me with my "look" (kind of long...)

So I have some ideas of how I want my hair and such, haven't thought much about jewelry at all. I have a hard time picturing how everything would look all put together, so I would love some help or suggestions!

Ok, so this is my dress

I also have a crappy cell phone picture of me in the dress at the store, only because the dress seemed "lighter" in person than it does on the website, if that makes any sense.



Ok, so you get the idea. Like I said, I haven't thought much about jewelry, was thinking of going pretty simple with it though. For hair, I'm not doing a veil and I was thinking sort of a low, loosely-curly bun, something like this:


My main question is about the headpiece, my wedding is in the summer so I'd kind of like to do a silk flower, somewhat like the one above (I've seen some gorgeous ones from Etsy). But does that "go" well with my dress? I was also considering some type of beaded/crystal headpiece if that might match the dress better, but I'm kind of into the flower...

So what do you think, does it all go together alright? And thanks in advance, I really appreciate any input...it's nice to run this by other people outside of my family and friends, I'm always paranoid that they're just telling me what they think I want to hear!

  • I think the flower will look fine with it.  You could add a crystal accent with a flower if you were really concerned about it matching.  I don't know if that makes any sense.  Your dress has the crystal accent where it poufs out.  I don't think your hair piece needs to match perfectly, but you might want to go with one that has more bling on the flower than one that is really simple.
  • I agree pp, I really like the idea of a flower with crystals.

  • ooohhhh I almost got your dress! It came down to Hunter and Melissa and Melissa won :) 

    I LOVE the flower- In fact, I was going to add a flower on the beaded applique on the hip! (Instead I got Melissa Bouquet, minus the flowers Maggie provides, plus a few fabric flowers and feathers from etsy) 

    A ton of the etsy sellers do blingy crystally stuff in the center of their flowers- maybe go that way? Big silk flower with crystals in the center? You could add a small crystal spray and a couple of feathers to the side of the flower, too- like the "leaves" or something, you know? 

    <3 that dress, it looks great on you!

  • Beautiful dress, love it.  I agree with the flower idea too.What do you think about a cage veil or just a short single tier veil on a comb that you take off after ceremony? Fabulous earrings will be nice too to balance out the detail of the gown.

     here are a couple of nice flowers to see-  http://www.weddingtrendsusa.com/Hair-Flowers_c_72.html

  • Thanks so much everyone! I've seen some of the flowers with crystals on Etsy before so I'll definitely look into those. I really appreciate all the input, feeling much better about the flower idea now =)
  • I am actually doing this exact same hairstyle! Just did a trial run the other day (without a flower, didn't have the one I wanted with me). It will look beautiful with the flower and your dress!
