A little vintage touch.

So, everyone know we had a very "rock n roll" wedding...

and every now and then we threw in a few vintage touches...

well, a vintage style... to keep it classic....

For starters I was married in an off-white all lace dress.

As you all have seen - very classic.

And, I could have been any happier with it...

I made the bouquets both my girls and myself...

using a very classic look.

Just simple red roses in a domed shape...

tied with fabric pieces from the leftover damask fabric...

Punked up with my sparkly Converse :)

Now my absolute favorite classic touch we had...

would have to be my veil and hair piece...

A long flowing veil would have just looked silly on me...

(the bride with the mohawk wore a white veil covering her face... right)

So it was never a question that I wanted to make my own birdcage veil.

I bought 1 yard of the offwhite netting on ebay...

I bought the black rose on etsy...

and the vintage ivory rose button inside the flower came from etsy as well.

I also added some black feathers to coordinate it with my flowers.

I loved it! My total cost was about $10...

by doing it myself I saved anywhere from $50-$200...

depending on how fancy one would want...

Check them out on etsy to see more examples...

Just search "wedding fascinators"

Some of my favorite examples...

Donatella - $89.00 on etsy by Portobello

This one my YJDesign is a little more budget friendly...

but equally beautiful. Its sold at $46.50

And this one, even more so!

How cool is that...

had I seen this one before I made mine...

i probably would have bought it...

we were on a very strict budget and this would have fit in just right.

I love the way the little "tails" come up...

Its made by Brendas Bridal Veils on Etsy for $25.99.

LAstly, I WISH i would have had these for the other side to hold my veil down.

Black Peacock $18 by JannyFay

My bridesmaid Mandy helped me our by twisting it into a cool little knot...

but I had bought some buttons to glue onto bobby pins that were misplaced.

They would have added a really nice touch. But, oh well!

So thats all for today!
