Help needed - one cream flower for hair to a wedding - yes or no?

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

I have a gorgeous cream linen dress with aqua embroidery all over, with an aqua silk trim and a bolero from Monsoon that I plan to wear to a wearing in a couple of weeks.

I want to wear something in my hair which is collarbone length - thinking of having loose waves held back by one cream fabric flower as I can't find a match for the aqua anywhere.

Help me, all ye who know these things - is this social suicide at a wedding, or would it be OK?

[rimmer08]

if you were wearing all cream then yes is a faux pas but since you are not i think its a lovely idea

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

So something like this might be OK?

[carriedababi]

a white dress and a white flower in your hair?

are you the bride?

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Yes, that's right, I'm the bride wearing a cream and aqua short dress with an aqua bolero.

Tip when using MN - read the posts.

This cream alice band with flower looks gorge, as will you.

[carriedababi]

tip for yourself, don't be rude to people trying to help.

you said a wedding you are going to...
you didn't say as a guest or bride.

get over yourself.

[traceybath]

Personally I think cream flowers are a little too bridal.

Could you go for something sparkly instead if you want something for your hair?

Plum - helllooo! Was wondering where you had got to today.

[carriedababi]

oh and thast flower, looks naff

[traceybath]

Despite Carrie's style icon being Peter Andre

She is correct about the flower - Plum's link was nice though.

That flower doesn't look naff, it's fine.

If you're the bride you can wear what you want, only rule is you must like it and feel confident in it.

It wasn't clear from your title and OP that is was your wedding, you referred to it as 'a wedding'. Was youir tuip comment intended for yourself or for carrie?

[traceybath]

Hang on - are you the bride? I thought you were a guest?

Very confused now.

If bride - the flower is fine but if a guest its too bridal.

[iCooed]

The bride sounds like a wanker to me.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

mmm you're nice OP

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Here's a tip when using MN

post accurately

look :

'I have a gorgeous cream linen dress with aqua embroidery all over, with an aqua silk trim and a bolero from Monsoon that I plan to wear to a wearing in a couple of weeks.'

okay a typo on wearing, perhaps you meant wedding

carry on

'I want to wear something in my hair which is collarbone length - thinking of having loose waves held back by one cream fabric flower as I can't find a match for the aqua anywhere.

Help me, all ye who know these things - is this social suicide at a wedding, or would it be OK?'

No mention here of you being the bride

Ho hum

so you can have a parp and a big fat 4 to boot

[carriedababi]

oh, one last tip, before i go, i wouldn't worry about what your wear being "social suicide", your personality will have that covered for you.

bitchfest ahoy!!!#

MMSC - I would go for something with an aqua tone, check accessorize, or NExt. I wouldnt wear cream in your hair.

Will have a look online and see what I can find for you.

Sure you will look lovely... whether the bride or a guest.

[JaxTellersOldLady]

how about this OP?

[minipie]

she is NOT the bride. she is a guest.

any bride would call it "my wedding" or "our wedding". not "a wedding". (and definitely not "a wearing" ).

OP, not quite sure why you were rude to carrie, who was making the valid point that your outfit will look rather bridal. Especially since your OP seemed to be asking whether you'd look too bridal with a cream flower in your hair?

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

How on earth did you find that?! I was on Glitz4Girls last night and didn't see it - thanks for much for the link, I do appreciate it

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Sorry - should have clarified - I am a guest. I certainly didn't mean to be rude - obviously misinterpreted her "white dress, white flower, are you the bride?" comment.

[JaxTellersOldLady]

no worries Maisie, I just went a surfin' as you do...

I think I am the Queen of online shopping!

[Maize]

I have worn a cream flower to a wedding and it was not bridal at all (was not my own wedding!!)

I assume your thing about the bride was sarcasm?!

Go for it you will look fine.
