Here's how our Pin Drives work: each month we put out the call on Facebook, Twitter, and the Tribe for @replies on Pinterest with great examples of a specific topic. We then repin our favorites to our own uber-board!
Last month's Pin Drive was hats and veil alternatives, and so many of you contributed that we ended up with a STACKED board of all kinds of headgear I wouldn't have expected. Think masks, cocktail hats, headbands, and even HOODS! Who wouldn't want to add a little mystery and fantasy with an amazing hood? I went through and selected the most intriguing for this round-up, plus a few from our archives.
Don't forget to watch the Tribe, Twitter, or Facebook for the April Pin Drive, coming soon!

I love which goose on etsy! I wore one of her butterfly crowns at my seaside wedding in 2010, such lovely work and made for a beautiful wedding keepsake.

This is why I love OBB instead of looking at me like I am crazy for wanting to wear a hood instead of a veil you encourage it!

Oh, stab me in the heart! That beautiful blue feather headpiece from Bando is $300 – as is everything else on their website! Sigh. (http://www.shopbando.com/ if you want to commiserate with me!)
