A headpiece for my veil
I haven't done anything about the rest of my plans yet - i.e. still no invitations or menu - but my outfit is starting to really come together. I recently found a headpiece for my veil.
The wreath is very similar to the 1920s wax-flower wreaths I've seen, so I suspect it may date to that era. I'm not sure if it's plastic or wax. You can see vintage tulle sewn onto the wreath on one side of the flowers, I assume from the original veil. I'm going to see about having a new veil made, probably in a slightly different style than the original.
With the right veil, I think this will look stunning with my dress!

wedding when she found her beautiful 1929 wedding gown on eBay. She and her husband sleep in a 1920s brass bed, eat at a 1920s dining table, and live in a
1920s home in Denver, CO.

Hi there, I am having an 1886 wedding and they also wore orange blossom in their hair, I was wondering if you could please advise where you got your wreath from please as it looks lovely - by the way so do your other photos.
Thanks Suz - suzannejeffares.blogspot.com
Suz,
Thanks for visiting! Yes, I read that orange blossoms and wax flower wreaths were used in weddings during the 19th century as well.
I found my wreath on eBay. The seller didn't know what it was, so I got it for about $30. I suggest browsing the various categories on eBay, because there are often really great finds listed in the wrong category or with the wrong information.
I did eventually verify that my wreath was wax, not plastic, by the way.
