I have been considering a few looks to get you thinking about ‘not so run of the mill’ big day make up. There is a lot of fun to be had with drama and colour, I am sure you will agree some of these are ready to wear looks and some are maybe a bit too high impact for may brides. Here are some great looks to consider for fashion or an evening occasion.
The Penelope Birdcage veil, by Pretty Perfect was featured in the May edition of Perfect Wedding Magazine.
This is a great little veil that attaches with a comb. The handmade silk flower is attached along with the veiling and finished with a diamante centre.

How brilliant are these vintage brooch bouquets? I think they are fantastic, really inspirational. If a whole bouquet is not to your taste a few handmade or vintage motifs or items in alongside fresh or fabric flowers would look cool – and you could keep them after the wedding day.
Inspiration form handmade flowers

Nostalgic Bridal Style
At the recent wedding exhibition the hot topic alongside the vintage style accessories was Birdcage Veils. They make a fantastically nostalgic style statement for brides. With many options for fascinators, combs and accessories Pretty Perfect offers two part combinations allowing the veil to be removed and the fascinator or headdress to remain in place. Choose from bridal headbands, clips, combs or grips to wear with the veil. You can select feathers, silks, lace,vintage style beaded motifs, beads, crystals or pearls to compliment your dress.
