"Covert Affairs" actress Piper Perabo married her beau Stephen Kay
over the weekend, and we're loving her fashion-forward wedding day
look! The bride said "I do" in a shimmery animal-print gown and a
seriously cool gold veil.
Here are six ways you can take a cue from her bold style for your own wedding attire.
1. If opt to wear something a little over the top, keep the silhouette understated. Perabo's
unique look works for a wedding because her sequined and sheer dress is
surprisingly covered up. If you want to show off your curves in a
super-slinky gown, long sleeves or a high neckline will make it more
grandma-friendly.
2. Try a completely unique veil. We
expect to see an increase in metallic veils after brides get a load of
Perabo's look! If you love the glam vibe of a metallic veil, you could
have one custom made or browse some of the options on Etsy. For just a touch of shimmer, have gold lace trim added to a traditional veil.
3. Keep some part of your look simple. Perabo's
chic updo and natural-looking makeup is completely classic. Sequins can
quickly veer into Vegas showgirl territory, but modest hair and makeup
makes a glittering gown work in the real world.
4. Incorporate animal prints. We
consider leopard print a neutral, so we love when brides rock it. If
you're not feeling an animal-print wedding dress, try a colorful cheetah clutch or leopard-print heels to add extra personality to your look.
5. Carry an elegant oversized bouquet.
While Perabo's attire is certainly non-traditional, her blooms are
completely bridal. The classic florals in neutral tones balance out the
trendy aspects of dress and veil.
6. Strut your stuff! Perabo and her
new husband walked to their reception with a classic New Orleans-style
brass band behind them. If a second-line parade won't work for you, you
and your sweetheart could hit a few popular destinations in your city
between the reception and the ceremony for great photo ops.
