Flower Power

No, not that kind of flower power.

This kind of flower power.

I think that hair flowers (or fasinators, as I've found they're more often called) have the power to change ho-hum wedding hair into fabulous wedding hair.

I knew from the beginning that I didn't want a traditional veil. I don't think most veils would match the style of my dress (birdcage veils excluded), so I began looking for other headpiece options. 

In the first Sex and the City movie, Carrie Bradshow (played by SJP) rocks a beautiful blue hair fascinator.

From the moment I saw it, I was in love. Now I'm no Carrie Bradshaw, so I knew my fascinator couldn't be nearly as big, nor as blue, but I was inspired. After searching Etsy for quite a while, I came across this:

Beautiful, right? I think this champagne fascinator is going to be the perfect addition to my wedding day attire. Plus, it comes at a very reasonable price.

Do you think it's okay to forego a veil? Will I still look like a bride without the more traditional headpiece?
