.My wedding dress is grey. Yes, grey.

.It is a very beautiful pale grey dress by Temperley London, and looks a lot like the Jenny Packham dress above. I, of course, love it, but it has meant that I have had to look harder for inspiration as very few people get married in this colour.

.Once I started looking around for inspiration I realised that it isn't as rare as I had thought. The photo above is from a real wedding I found on NYMag.com. How amazing are those ruffles?!

.And this dress is by Vera Wang, which shows that even the wedding dress goddess herself appreciates the beauty of a grey gown.

.This is probably my favourite wedding image.
I love the way the bride teamed her 1950s-esque dress with a classic trench. Her shoes are yummy too. It is great inspiration for my third wedding party dress, which I will wear on the second day of our two day wedding extravaganza. It is an original 1950s ivory and gold dress, which I bought for just €2 in a hipster secondhand store in Vienna's 6th district. I will be wearing this with my gold Miu Miu heels and dancing into the night with my new husband!(.My Miu Miu heels)

.American designer Jennifer Behr makes the coolest vintage inspired hairbands and hair crystals. Popular with the cast of Gossip Girl and celebrities, she also does a great bridal collection. I have decided to buy the 'Crystal Wing' hair clip to wear either after I take off my veil on the first day of our wedding or with the original 1950s ivory and gold dress I will be wearing on the second day of our wedding.

.Recently, Natalie Portman was photographed wearing the pin. Isn't it stunning? I love the versatility of it, and it comes in several colours. I am still trying to decide between Antique and Crystal Gunnmetal.

.The Jennifer Behr birdcage veils are wonderful too but very expensive at $675!

.I have decided that I definitely want to wear a birdcage veil with my wedding dress for the ceremony. I have been in two minds about it for a long time but finally I have decided to go for it - after all, when else in a girl's life does she get to wear something so wonderfully dramatic?

.The veil I love the most is this one by EMBridal. They have an amazing selection of art deco inspired hair accessories and jewellery. I came across Emily & Andrew's wedding the other day and was excited to see that she is wearing the veil I want. It is always great to see these pieces on a real bride when you are considering buying online. Emily looks so lovely that it has convinced me to go for it.

.EMBridal also do the veil with a detachable feather headpiece. I love this look, especially as it reminds me of Melanie's Sara Gabriel headpiece, which I adore.
