My hair is very curly, so I'm planning a curly updo with ribbons weaving and curling in and out of my hair and being a bit more sparse than most of the ribbon veils I see. I want my shoulders and the back of my dress to be seen more, so I'll probably do sheer ribbons and very, very thin ribbons. :) I've been wanting to do a ribbon veil for a long time now, but I've yet to see anyone do the sort of ribbon veil I'm planning on doing! teehee! yay!

The links Ariel gave and your photos too are giving me all kinds of ideas now. Plus I feel like I can do it myself now too! I'm hoping when I get home today the mail man will have dropped off my copy of Offbeat Bride where (I should have known) I'm sure Ariel goes into more detail about it! But thank you both for the info! Love all the pictures! Those were really cool elly. The links Ariel gave and your photos too are giving me all kinds of ideas now.
