Weddingbee

When I found my wedding dress I got a matching classic elbow length veil with a champagne satin edge. (Sorry no pics) I wanted a veil because I wanted my dad to do the lifting pf the veil and giving me kissing before I go ahead and get married. This veil was perfect for that but since I ordered my dress over a year before my wedding date, I knew I was bound to fall in love with a vintage looking birdcage veil.

I can’t not wear my original veil (since my mother is the one who bought me my dress and veil). But I really liked the idea of being a Two Veil Bride like Miss Cookie. I contacted Sandra from Breeziway.com to see if she’d be able to make me a custom veil. I wanted something that would fit my taupe sash, and got an email back from her saying YES she was able to make me something that matched. I sent her pictures of my dress, hairstyle and accessories and I got an email with the finished piece. I was so excited. She used taupe-y colored feathers and the outcome is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S.

Now because I wasn’t sure what would be better with my hair style, she made the veil so that I could wear it either on the left or on the right. Isn’t that the smartest thing ever !!! Here is my absolutely stunning Birdcage veil :

Now I have another dilemma - do I wear my birdcage veil for the getting ready pictures or should I go with the original one? Maybe the birdcage one could be my “I’m a Wife now” veil and I’ll switch to it when Mr. Flamingo and I take pictures as a married couple. What do you think?
