Nothing for my head?

Have you got a link to the dress that we could see to help imagine it?

I love the harvest crown!! Who doesn't love a crown?!?!So unique and a beautiful colour

Perhaps go to your local highstreet to try and find something similar so you can see what they look like on before you buy...??

Another option would be a floral headpiece and then you don't need a bouquet?

Good luck with the hunt, i'm trying to look for a pretty comb piece but everything I like is waaaay over budget!

Neither are my cup of tea but I don't think they'd look ridiculous. If yore worried about the dress looking plain what about a sash or some big jewellery?

Hi

Not sure that i'm a traditional bride either as i'm 43 & my OH 49 & neither of us have been married. Saying that, I don't think it matters, at all & this shouldnt come into the equation as to whether you wear a head peice or not.

Its difficult to say if they will suit you or not as don't know your personality or what you look like. However, do they go with your chosen dress or theme / feel of the day that you are creating? Flash a pic of your dress ?

We need more info like dress and venue + maybe theme

if your in an upmarket modern city hotel the harvest crown is going to look ridiculously odd, if your in a barn it would look lovely etc....

Ok here is the dress from Monsoon.

Dress

I guess it is hard to say for people. You guys don't know me.

OK, I can just about buy this scenario. That wheat thing whatever would suit a flowing cotton dress and bare feet. But even then, I think flowers would look better.

The hat is grim, sorry.

Oh, it goes nice with the dress then... what about the venue?

I think the hat would suit a short square crop beeded dress or white silk suit instead (60s style)

OK, the harvest crown might look ok, but only , as other people have suggested, if you're having it outside / barn type venue. Don't like the hat for something to wear as you get married. Just my opinion & you probably wouldnt like my choice. Your OH & Friends are trying to help, they want you to feel comfortable & look beautiful....let them guide you, any help us B2B get should be gratefully received (well, most of it anyway ️?️)

I think the dress is far too delicate to carry off either of those head pieces.

The model is wearing jewelled flip flops - perfect. Something like this echoed in a head piece would be perfect. Maybe incorporating a little of the waist line design.

Or, you know, you could wear nothing in your hair. No law against it!

I don't know what your hair is like, but I prefer this photo of the dress than the one on the monsoon site, and the way this model has her hair is lovely - without any need for an actual head dress.

I agree with Tiny-Tiggs....dress looks much, much nicer & no need for headpeice.

The hat for me is..quite sentimental. I have a picture of my mum, in the late 1960's, whilst living in a commune, wearing a hat exactly like that. She looks beautiful in the picture, ethereal. I guess I had hoped to recreate that look. But then..I often get these kinds of ideas that...don't translate to reality that well.

The venue is a country pub - wooden beams, giant fireplaces, duck pond that kind of thing. It's in June.

So, can conclusively say I will not wear the hat...though, I might buy it anyway.

Still considering the crown.

I can understand the reason for wanting the hat.....but still don't think it suits the dress. Could you perhaps get the hat to wear the morning after your wedding, as part of your honeymoon outfit? (assuming you're having a honeymoon)....

Have you seen FurtureMrsMartin17's flash thread? she has a beaded forehead band that i think would look nice with your dress ?

Would you consider a similar hat but in white/ivory to appear more bridal, or would that take completely away from your original idea?

Or - as you say, buy it anyway, take it with you and you could have the photo recreated on the day, without having it as part of the wedding outfit. I think it's a lovely idea you have, I'm just not keen on the hat for the wedding outfit.

You guys are right.

I'll buy the hat as treat for myself and wear it on my honeymoon.

I feel my options now are - crown or nothing.

I have seen some amazing wedding hair, perhaps my hair can be my crown.
