more likely the veils. back when Big & overstated was the thing. My wedding gown is going to be more modern IMO, but I think I want a vintage inspired veil. The big ones they wore in the 80s or early 90s. anyone have some retro wedding pictures they can scan to help inspire me? I'm thinking...

anyone have some retro wedding pictures they can scan to help inspire me? I'm thinking headpiece like the First pic, and veil look like the second one.

I have a big head and the veils with the little combs aren't doing it for me. I keep thinking they look flat.

yes I'm serious. I'm getting married on Halloween with a big city step out afterwards, so anything goes Smiley smile I'll contact you for bail if the fashion police come after me.

    You can't see my mom's dress very well in this photo but it's all I have. It was a short party dress! Satin under layer with a white chiffon overlay, and brown crocheted built in jacket piece. It was 1971!

    My aunt is the one you just see her hair. My father's mother and grandmother are the older ladies in the back. The horrible pattern you see on the left is the wretched dress my grandmother was wearing! We found it about two years ago and it was one of the ugliest things I have ever seen!

    My mom's dress was adorable....just not a traditional wedding dress.

    I just found my mom's wedding album - she's so pretty! Interestingly enough, though, her MOH and MOB also wore veils (but colored veils). Maybe because they were getting married in the Catholic church in the 60s.

    LOVING all the great pics!! I was a bride the first time in 94 (pic of me, my Sister and one of my oldest friends from that wedding) Obviously no veil. Wish I had pics of my parents wedding, but Mom destroyed them when they got divorced.
