i love number 6 .. its so pretty and girly, just the style i'll be aiming for at my wedding.

Number 8 is so amazing. It's got a little hollywood glamour mixed with a little bit of fun. Such a great piece!
Posted by: Kathryn | July 09, 2008 at 05:14 AM
Number 8 - so much fun. Looks like something Carrie would wear!
Posted by: Amy | July 09, 2008 at 05:27 AM
number 8 is dramatic but not over the top. love it.
Posted by: sarah | July 09, 2008 at 05:32 AM
love the casual elegance of #1, not to mention i am a sucker for any photos in black/white or sepia toned. the makeup is done perfectly for that style of photo and is not under or overdone.
Posted by: 4a | July 09, 2008 at 06:21 AM
Number 1 seemed like the perfect classic. Perhaps it was the way the photo was taken...but that's how I want to feel on my big day: classic and glamorous.
Posted by: Katie | July 09, 2008 at 06:24 AM
I love number 3. it looks so old hollywood glamorous. it also reminds me of ann woods birds that i am obsessed with. ;)
Posted by: Jenny | July 09, 2008 at 06:26 AM
My favorite is number 6, very pretty :)
Posted by: Melissa | July 09, 2008 at 07:07 AM
I can't help but love #1. It's so soft and classically beautiful, I can't help but get sucked in.
Posted by: Catherine | July 09, 2008 at 07:11 AM
I can't help but love #1. It's so soft and classically beautiful, I can't help but get sucked in.

I like number 2 as it reminds me of vintage glamour and I can envision a sleek wedding dress to wear with it.
Posted by: Charity Brown | July 09, 2008 at 07:25 AM
I am the mother of the bride and I think my daughter would love veil #7 - very soft and romantic. We are so excited to have an appointment at Kleinfeld in August so we will be sure to look out for Holly's designs.
Posted by: Cathy | July 09, 2008 at 07:26 AM
I love contestant #8. Those feathers are gorgeous!
Posted by: Amaree | July 09, 2008 at 07:35 AM
i love #1 for a wearable look at # 8 for a fun look. so beautiful!
Posted by: Charmi | July 09, 2008 at 07:55 AM
I vote for #5. Love that poof! It's so ethereal and dramatic.
Posted by: Kate | July 09, 2008 at 07:58 AM
I second Kate's vote for #5. I absolutely love the poof and how the rose offsets it. :)
Posted by: Fifi | July 09, 2008 at 08:20 AM
Love #1 - so classic!!
Posted by: Jamie Delaine | July 09, 2008 at 08:20 AM
#1 is the best! It is exactly what I am looking for. Hmmm... ;)
Posted by: Erica | July 09, 2008 at 08:31 AM
#4!
Posted by: g | July 09, 2008 at 09:03 AM
Wow those photos turned out amazing! I have to say, I am a fan of #4. Its just so different from anything else I've seen!
Posted by: Starry-Eyed Barefoot Bride | July 09, 2008 at 09:05 AM
Number 7 hands down. I love the bircage veils, but this is so reminiscent of funny face that it captured me right away.
Posted by: Emily Parman | July 09, 2008 at 09:07 AM
Wow - hard to choose, but I love number 1. It just looks so classic yet modern at the same time!
Posted by: christine | July 09, 2008 at 09:33 AM
i love #1 too!! so beautiful
Posted by: margaux | July 09, 2008 at 09:47 AM
My votes is for Number 1!! Very classic and glamourous. I admit that Number 8 is a very close runner-up.
Posted by: Katrina | July 09, 2008 at 09:47 AM
These are all so amazing! Love #1 and #4.
Posted by: Heidi @ Zenadia | July 09, 2008 at 09:53 AM
I love #5. It's so dramatic, and the color is stunning.
Posted by: Janna | July 09, 2008 at 09:54 AM
Number 8 is a GREAT hairpiece and an excellent photo. Hands down my favorite.
Posted by: Kat | July 09, 2008 at 09:58 AM
I love #5. That poof of a viel in front of the red background is stunning.
Posted by: Lisa J. | July 09, 2008 at 10:08 AM
I love Number #7, it has a way of being artistic in a very romantic way.
Posted by: Annette | July 09, 2008 at 10:20 AM
I'm going to have to go with contestant #7! It's so soft and feminine & wearable, yet still looks very high-fashion!
Posted by: Katherine | July 09, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Definitely #8. So fabulous!
Posted by: Chung Nguyen | July 09, 2008 at 11:17 AM
I love number one! It is so distinctive and the black netting says confident, one-of-a-kind bride. It's gorgeous!
Posted by: Beka | July 09, 2008 at 11:18 AM
Number 8 is by far the best!! So much fun, but still classy.
Posted by: Christina Wikman | July 09, 2008 at 11:52 AM
I love #6. The rest are beautiful but to me, this is most wearable. I'd position it towards the back of my head just behind my ear above my loose bun!
Posted by: Kim | July 09, 2008 at 11:54 AM
I love number 8. I love how the out of focus backdrop design is still identifiable without overpowering the main image, the hair piece is stunning!
Posted by: ljcadv | July 09, 2008 at 12:16 PM
I love number one! I stumbled upon her stuff a couple of months back and am a huge fan.
Posted by: Holly | July 09, 2008 at 12:19 PM
I vote for number 8!
Posted by: Rocio | July 09, 2008 at 12:50 PM
Hands down #1 is my favorite. The lighting, the black and white color, the captured emotion...
its true perfection. i love it!
Posted by: {furikuri} weddings | July 09, 2008 at 01:15 PM
#1....or #5, I can't decide
Posted by: chelsey | July 09, 2008 at 03:21 PM
really loving #8 -- the drama of the feathers just pops against the rich backdrop and the pearls are a nice classic touch. also i love a few of the others too, this is something i could see a bride actually wearing =).
Posted by: phyllis | July 09, 2008 at 03:55 PM
I love #8 because I am always a sucker for brooches.
Posted by: tina | July 09, 2008 at 06:31 PM
i'm with the number 1 crowd. it's so completely wearable. the other pieces are wonderful, but almost couture-like - maybe for carrie in SATC, but hard to pull off in real life!
Posted by: debra | July 09, 2008 at 06:36 PM
Love, love number 7!!
Posted by: nicole morgenthau at events by nicole | July 09, 2008 at 08:00 PM
Loved number one...until I got to number eight! Both are captivating, I wish I could pull something like that off!
Posted by: Stef | July 09, 2008 at 08:51 PM
i love #1. the picture has such a vintage feel to it.
Posted by: Jane | July 09, 2008 at 09:02 PM
I absolutely love #5, dramatic, glamourous and with the right dress could even be a little vintage. I'm looking for a one of a kind veil no one would expect and I think this would be it!
Posted by: bellacathryn | July 09, 2008 at 09:41 PM
I love #5 - The contrast with the red background and the peach veil--awesome!
Posted by: jessica | July 09, 2008 at 10:14 PM
#1 is my favorite, although they are all good. The first one is just very dramatic and powerful without being in your face. I love it!
