Everyone in white?

Today was the royal wedding, and like everyone else i could not wait to see what Kate wore. Kate was beautiful, though i was expecting more from her dress, but what kind of surprised me was that her MOH also wore white.

And i have to say that I loved it! I worked. The bridesmaid dress was beautiful and I dont think it took away from Kate's look in any way. It was very clean and modern and just perfect for the occasion.

However, if not done correctly I think the bride can be lost, such as in the photo below.

This bride really should have worn a dress style that was totally different from the style of the bridesmaid dresses. If it wasnt for the veil i would have a hard time telling which one was the bride.

What do you ladies think? Would you have your bridesmaids wear white?

Fashion Friday: Birdcage Veils

Birdcage Veils, originally uploaded by Pinga Amor.

I know its not yet Friday, but tomorrow is my birthday so i will be too busy to post. So you get it today (yay)!!!! I love birdcage veils. They are vintage, but when worn the right way can be very modern and chic. The bad news is they can cost big bucks, I've seen them as high as $150 dollars, which is way more than I'm willing to pay for a headpiece I will only wear for a few hours. I scoured Etsy.com which, by the way is an awesome way to get your hands on some unique handmade goodies, and saw some for as low as $30. Then I came across this easy DIY tutorial, which shows you how to make your own for around $10. I am totally going to do this, it seems so easy plus i can cusomize it to my taste.

Would you consider making your own veil?

Two of my favorite thing in the world are the color purple and some amazing heels. These shoes have the right pop of color and the perfect amount of bling; every thing I could want in a wedding shoe. Now to convince Mr. Modern that these are essential to our wedding day….
