if you put the flower on the back of your head, it should be fine. but since there's ruching AND embellishment on your dress, if you put it towards the front it might be a little too much with the jewelery and all. judging by your jewelery, it seems you favor the understated look to the over-the-top. the flower is beautiful, though.

That's where I was thinking, in the back, wearing it how kristinjane83 wore hers & then having the veil tucked under (removing it though during the reception).

I was trying to be realistic when dress shopping, I knew the more detail to the dress the higher the cost so I tried to keep it simple but classy at the same time.

I agree with the above comment about the flower. It is a bit big. Something smaller and softer looking would look a lot better to accent your dress. :)

I wish it was a little smaller & I've been looking too. If I decide to go with this I'll see if the seller/maker will be able to make something smaller for a custom job. I saw her listing on Ebay but they've also got a website and I've just found her on Etsy too.

I love the idea of the flowers, but then the veil will be too much. If you do the veil, you need to tuck in under the flowers, so it's coming down from under your updo. if you do it from above, it's going to over power everything.

Yes if I buy the flower, the veil will be beneath my hair. I was thinking of a messy bun hairstyle anyway so I would just place the veil under it. :)

where did you get those bridesmaid necklaces? I've been searching high and low for something similar!

They're Swarovski Pendents

I got them off of Ebay though at a great price :)
