Pink Wedding Gown--headpiece help!

Susan, on July 19, 2019 at 9:29 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 14

Hi All:I wanted something unusual and different in a dress for my wedding (this is my second marriage--I was widowed 7 years ago) and found a gorgeous pink gown on Amazon that I'm having altered to further customize it.

As a result, I don't think a veil would really work, and I'm not so sure I want one anyway. I've dug around looking for a headpiece of some sort, but nothing really sticks out. I'm in my 40's, and while I want to look lovely, I also don't want to look foolish. I'm attaching a photo at the bottom here (I HOPE!) so you can see where I'm at. I plan to have the neckline altered and sheer sleeves added.

Thought the Wedding Wire hive mind might have some ideas. TIA!

    I think it’s lovely! Good choice for a new beginning and for finding love after loss. I’ve seen pink veils if you want to go that route. I also think a birdcage veil would look quite nice with this as well. Is the top of the dress white or is it a lighter pink?

    Hey there Susan!! Your dress is absolutely stunning!! I've never seen a gown like this before, but I love colored wedding dresses🥰

    Have you thought about whether you would like to have your hair left down, or have an updo? You will totally be able to have a headpiece, either way, I'm just wondering had you considered it yet😊

    I would recommend that you look on Etsy for some headpieces to see what you type you like!

    In the meantime, I searched on Pinterest and added images of some headpieces that I thought were really pretty and will go with your beautiful dress!

    I like headpieces like those Sinead suggested to go with your beautiful dress.

    As a side note - you will not look "foolish" on your wedding day - regardless of your headpiece choice. You will be beautiful.

    LOVE this dress, it is amazing. I think depending on how you intend to do your hair you could do quite a few different options. I found these on Etsy:

    Gorgeous! Maybe I can help. I’m a pink dress and pink haired bride! Rose gold always looks flattering with a pink dress. Your dress has a lot of detail going on so a simple flower would look absolutely lovely.
    If you do end up wanting a veil, GothiXXbyElena on Etsy has multiple shades of pink for her veils. I ordered tulle samples myself. They’re affordable($20-$30 a veil) and the tulle was super soft.

    I'm in my 40s too and made my own flower comb similar to the second pic in my colour scheme. You can get beautiful ones like these on Etsy.

    You’re dress is beautiful! I am wearing a pink dress too. Our accent colors are mauve, cream and gray as well as pinks. I am using rose gold jewelry to accent my dress. I like that we have that in common and also being a second time bride in our 40s AND widows. There’s not a lot of people who can relate to that. Has the process been a struggle? I love my FH with all my heart, but sometimes things can be so emotionally overwhelming. I am trying to make it completely different than my first go. But it hasn’t been easy. Anyway, just wanted to congratulate you on finding love again. Here’s my head piece I will wear.
