Etsy - for alternatives to a veil or tiara

If you haven’t discovered Etsy yet, do take a look. It’s a great place to start if you want something a bit different in the headwear department. I’ll do a post on tiaras and veils later on, but why not go for an alternative that will still complement your retro frock?

60s/70s hippies fantasy look – go for a scattering of white butterflies

50s – A  bow-shaped Alice band  will match your prom-style gown

40s – War-time brides like my Grandma Sally often wore a day dress or suit instead of a white wedding dress. If you plan to do the same, be inspired by Sally Bloom and choose a pretty and dramatic hat
