This is what I am using. There are lots to choose from at Davids Bridal. They are, however, a little pricey. I paid 49.00$ for it, but when the consultant put them up to my hair with the dress on I fell in love. Damn sales people. LOL

Haha, shopping is ok but I don't want to be shopping all day. I found my dress on my second trip so it was all good!

I bought a hair fascinator from etsy.com. Love it!

I have been going back and forth on this, too. If I don't go with the real flower, I will probably do one of these:

ha, the same thing happened to me. i LOVE the headpiece i got! mine was something like $130 because it has swarovski crystals in it. whatever. but i love the net-type veil. can't wait to pair it up with the MAC lashes i bought. i'm not a fan of regular-life drama, but a little drama of this kind for my wedding sure sounds like fun. here's a link to a site with a pic of the headpiece:

Yes show us the MAC lashes!

And thank you everyone that showed me your hair flowers. I'm now going to have to hunt something down.

[dianep]

ooh, thanks ladies! i'm so glad you like it!

 

there is a thread out there that's all about lashes. it includes fake lashes as well as lash extensions. seems like some threads got included, so the ladies who spent the ching to get extensions seem a little peeved about people talking about falsies, but who cares?

there's also a thread out there about hair and makeup (fun stuff!) that might have some comments about veils and headpieces.

 

anyway, here's a link to MAC's site, for the lashes i got (the #7s). i started out with a different set but wanted a little more oomph.

M·A·C Cosmetics | 7 Lash

 

i posted some pictures about my ideas for hair and makeup on that thread - let me know if you can't find it.

[dianep]

ok, i'll just post some here...

 

my idea for hair:

 

after a visit to the mac counter (these are just my natural lashes - it'll be much better with the falsies added!)
