The unusual bouquet thread was quite a success and so much fun - why not have some illustration here that there is a world beyond normal long veil.
Firstly Carrie has to be mentioned.

And this is my most favourite bonkers headgear ever. It's fabulous. I love it! The bride made it herself (however?) and her wedding was featured not very long ago on my favourite blog.

On the lookout for many more pics!

Great thread...
I have a secret love of Bridal hats (can I class these as headpieces) :-)
The hat I own is a white top hat with a birdcage veil coming down and a huge - huge - bow at the back. Snagged it up for £10 on ebay. But I after much thought and consideration I want this

I myself would possibly like something like this...
Some of them are really lovely. Anastasia you clearly like the 20s :-)
OWB that would be a very elegant gypsy! Also very 20s. Lily Allen had a veil like that.

I think it's more traditional than BFGW!

Kate Moss had a similar but more tuned down 20s veil

And one of the most awful huge headpieces - Celine *puke* Dion

The possibilities with birdcage veils are endless...
But here a few interesting millinery pieces

And these two brides are real brides - the lady in the pink hat I know, she's a distant relative. I wasn't at the wedding but at the wedding party a few days later and saw pics there - and then a few weeks later really stunning pics on a wedding blog. Brighton looked like a tropical beach resort!

That last one is totally bonkers and totally for real - I don't know her personally but someone who went to their wedding and had already seen her private pics on Facebook before it appeared on a blog. The bride made the piece herself and this was one showstopping wedding. Showstopping in my books :-)
