Your HEADPIECE should have a voice.


I always knew that I never wanted to wear a veil on my wedding day because I was never a conventional girl so why start now. Besides, I was having a morning wedding, in a garden/gazebo and was not convinced that a veil was the option for the occasion. Don't get me wrong now, I think veils are beautiful and they come in so many beautiful styles... and it serves its purpose... just not on me.
So, with that said I definitely had to search for a headpiece that had "KEESHA" written all over it... and like my heels... the search was on.

I first started looking at the Tiger Lilly's collection... GORGEOUS! I had selected my piece and saved the image and so forth so on. It was set...


until I decided to browse www.etsy.com and found the site of my dreams http://www.etsy.com/shop/FeathersandFrills?ref=top_trail">http://www.etsy.com/shop/FeathersandFrills?ref=top_trail


All my plans of purchasing my couture headpiece from Tiger Lilly went up in smoke and out of the smoke came my genie, FEATHERS & FRILLS. The site had me written all over it... a modern day vintage lover.
Actually in the words of Krystle, the owner of such a great site with such FAB pieces, Feathers & Frills is a "Vintage Inspired Lovelies for the modern bride and glamor girl! Each piece is handmade with love using only the highest quality materials and attention to detail. The Feathers and Frills stylista has an eye for modern design and an affection for old hollywood glamour!" NUFF SAID.

I had a found my dream headpiece, the "Whitney-crystal rhinestone comb" and the order was placed immediately. My package arrived in less than 2 weeks and to my surprise, it was beautifully boxed with a hand-written THANK YOU CARD from Krystle... or course I cried (As if), LOL.
Take a look for yourself and tell me if you wouldn't cry too.


OK, now that you have stopped crying yourself, I have taken the liberty of showing you a few of Krystle's pieces. Whether you want flowers, feathers, crystals, rhinestones or a combination. Her pieces are custom-made to order and you won't be disappointed.

Well my lovely brides-to-be, don't go crazy thinking you can only wear a veil on your wedding day. WRONG! Gone are the days!
Play it up, glam it up, spruce it up... think FABULOUS, think DIVA, think OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAM, think SOPHISTICATED, think CLASSY, think MODERN. And all my VEIL WEARING LOVELIES, you too can do the above along with your veil. You can wear the veil at the ceremony and then change off into another headpiece for the reception... one that will have you walking around like the bell of the ball (which you already are) times ten. It's your day... there are really no rules... just be FABULOUS.. whichever way you choose!
(Feathers & Frills is also featured in Martha Stewart's Wedding Magazine 2011).

Until next time,
Smile, you're on camera ☺

  1. Thank You for posting this! I have started the process of choosing a head piece and somehow my fiance' found this blog (don't ask me how)! LOL! Anyway, I have always pictured myself without a veil, but my dress is very classic and romantic, so I really think it's appropriate and would look nice with one. However, the few that I have tried on are not that attractive. Honestly, I think they make me look a little scary. I have not given up on fnding the perfect one (one that depicts me as the blushing bride and not BRIDEZILLA- the real one), but I'm glad I read this because I have always had the idea of taking the veil off as soon as the officiant annouces us Husband and Wife, LOL! Now I don't feel that bad if I do!
    Thanks Again!

    I'm hoping that you find the right veil for you... trust me, you will know it when you see... keep searching.
    and then do your change off and make your entrance into your reception like the diva that you are ☺
    I'm glad your fiance introduced you to my blog (good man, lol)... now don't be a stranger and let me know how that veil search goes.
    Happy shopping ;-)
