Dress,shoes,accessories...check, HELP my hair?!

I've got it all done. The dress is purchased/paid for. (see pics!)
I'm wearing a black sash instead of the ivory one with my dress with a hotpink/orange organza flower on it. (our theme is rock and roll...)
got the jewelry (orange crystal earrings & bracelet)
I've purchased my shoes (I'm wearing wonder woman chuck taylor's...I'm a mom to 8 kids, she's kinda my idol and I don't want to wear heels because i'll be taller than fiance LOL)

So...now it comes down to my hair. I'm pretty certain I'm wearing it down & curly, but...I don't know what kind of veil/flower/birdcage/and or nothing I should put in it. I'm stumped :/

We have about 50-60 people attending, small church wedding...reception at our fav local restaurant/bar.
Btw I'm 38 so I'm thinking age appropriate? is there such a thing with wedding hair? lol

Suggestions??

  • Since you theme is rocker-esque could you do some sort of headpiece/hair comb with feathers? I think that would be super cute :)

    I have seen the feathers...but there are no feathers anywhere in anything,...there are a ton of fascinators though with feathers in them lol

    ETA: so...maybe? i dunno...can you post a pic/link what your thinking of?

    Could you add some feathers behind the flower? Your could even go with black feathers to compliment your dash. Google flower hair clip with feathers and get some inspiration from some of the pictures. I would paste a pic but I am on my iPad and it won't let me do that. Edit: reading fail on my part. For some reason I thought you were using the flower in your hair. I think feathers would be perfect especially black ones. Do a google search of feather headpieces to get some ideas.

  • your dress is definitely going to be rockin with that colour jolt. I think you should do a half side pin up for your hair.. something with lift at the top and then cascading downwards in the same direction as the tiers on your gown

    something like this:

    </div><div>good idea thanks!  honestly the majority of the fascinators out there seem to have feather in them, so i've been ignoring them, but now i'm going to take a second look, you guys might be onto something, espcially with the black feathers ;)</div>

  • ooh I like the flower one, and a birdcage veil with that style would be amazing. what about going totally glam and rockin a black birdcage to tie in with your sash?
