I’m planning on carrying on the 1980s tradition of wearing a ginormous wedding hat. Check out this sweet masterpiece of lace and tulle I picked up:
JUUUUST KIDDING!! (I do like to play dress up in antique stores though, in case you’re wondering.)
But seriously now, this is my veil:
It doesn’t have much of a story to go along with it. The only type of veil I’ve ever considered wearing is a birdcage veil. I feel like it fits me. This is the first one I tried on. It’s called “Natasha” and the designer is Jennifer Leigh. It has tiny rhinestones and pearls on it. I immediately loved it. The end.
So, what do you think? Should I have stuck with the lace hat? 
Who else is all about jumping on the birdcage bandwagon?
No birdcage bandwagon for me, I can’t pull it off! 
But you look FABULOUS!!!
My aunts all shared a giant 80’s bridal hat - hilarious! I have a feeling it’ll be making an appearance at my shower 
I think you should have stuck with the hat only if you were to wear it with the price tag still attached. It adds a certain something.
@crayfish: That’s awesome! It should totally make an appearance somewhere in your wedding festivities!
@rachel_leigh: Umm, strapless dress!
The lace hat is pretty awesome, but I agree that the birdcage looks best.
@Miss Snow: @bohemianbailie: Totally not an option! I took this picture about a year ago, so I’m sure some lucky girl has since snatched that beauty right up! Plus, it’s not really my style…
I’m so on the birdcage wagon but the one I tried on kept trying to bite me in the eye. =( And the maids veto’d the veil for the one I already have that my step sis was running around the store wearing.
Birdcage veils are so awesome - but I’m torn between a mantilla and a birdcage…yours looks amazing! I was seriously hoping it was a joke about the hat…got concerned there for a moment!
Ooh tough choice - I *think* I’m going to have to go with the veil though
I think that you should stick with the hat — it definitely makes a statement! Love the birdcage, lady.
Love birdcage veils! It’s the only veil I actually like lol. And you look absolutely FABULOUS in it!
Totally should have stuck with the hat! lol The veil looks great on you!
Only you could make an eighties hat look so stylish, Miss T! The birdcage veil is definitely you and looks absolutely beautiful on you!
I was totally on board with you and your hat! haha! No birdcage veil for me.
I totally got an ginormous hat–not an 80s one, more like a 40s one–but realized I didn’t have the…oomph to pull it off. $15 Target veil to the rescue.
