To Veil or Not To Veil?

I'm thinking not to veil. I've never imagined wearing one, and I don't feel any need to wear one. I did try on a few at David's when I bought my dress, and honestly I just didn't particularly like how they looked. The one possible exception was the cheapest--the bare bones "blusher" veil, which ran about $20. I didn't buy it, though I certainly still could. Dana asked the other day if I was wearing one (we were watching "Say Yes to the Dress"), and though he certainly didn't sound disappointed when I said "probably not" (he's a dude, come on), I got the vibe that his mental image of what brides wear included a veil. But whatevs. I'm still thinking probably no.

What I am thinking lately, though, is that I am rather fond of the silk floral headpiece thing I've been seeing a lot of lately. I don't know if it would work for me necessarily; I'll have to see (Erika--perhaps we can play Beaty Parlor while you're here in November). It just has such a romantic feel about it, and lately I've been seeing loads of pictures that I adore. Hmmm....we shall see...

How sweet is the peacock clutch from Etsy seller RubyRedRose? I'm thinking I miiiiiight splurge on this for the wedding, since the wedding colors are peacock inspired, and the lining is the same color as my shoes! Plus, I have a major weak spot for cute little purses. Hmmm...so tempting!
