May 2013 Weddings

Advice please

Last night I went to my aunt's house for my cousin's birthday party. While I was there, my aunt pulled me away from the party and told me she had to show me something. She took me into another room and took out her crown and veil that she wore on her wedding day. She told me that she wanted me to borrow it for the wedding but I could say yes or no, whatever I wanted. 

She took it out and it is absolutely beautiful. She let me try it on and she took some pictures of me wearing it:



 I love it...... but the only problem is that I bought my veil already and my headband. We had the solution of taking her veil off the crown and using my veil.

But Idk if the crown goes with my dress and my style. And idk if it is too much for an outdoor wedding. I kind of think I should follow through with what I wanted before, but I feel like I would break her heart if I said no. She cried when she gave me the crown... 

What should I do?

  • I think you have to go with what you want and what you envision. I do think the crown is absolutely beautiful. Can you post a picture of your dress so we can compare the two together? Maybe there is a way to incorporate it somehow. You do look lovely with it on

  • I agree with PP. It's your day so you should go with whatever you can see yourself walking down the aisle with :

  • It's gorgeous. Do you have a side view picture? I'm curious to see the whole veil. Post a picture of your dress so we can compare.

  • Your choice is perfect for your dress. You are going to be so gorgeous! Let your aunt know you have purchased a veil and headpiece already and don't want to waste money by not wearing it. Of course thank her for her gesture. Ugh tough situation...good luck!

    <div>Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I thought I already picked the right thing <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-embarassed.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" />. I'm going to tell her I'm so thankful for her gesture, but that I respectfully decline the offer. But isn't the crown gorgeous?! LOL I felt so special in it, maybe it was meant for me in another life.</div>

  • I agree with Pnut 100%. I LOVE the headband you picked out. Seeing so many veil pictures is making me rethink the idea of one :)  I think your headband and veil is perfect for your dress. The crown is gorgeous.

  • Go with your heart. Maybe you could incorporate the crown in something else?

  • I really like them both but don't think I like them together.


    At the end of the day, follow your heart and your vision. I am sure she will understand. :)

  • your dress is beautiful, but that crown is too much for it.
    the crown is NMS to begin with tho, so maybe i'm biased. lol
