I have been a faithful reader for months, so when it came time for me to plan my special day, you, most naturally, were my very first point of reference. I thought I might submit some pictures to you for some feedback on how I did at following "the rules" (but not in a "What not to Wear" kind of way). Would you mind having a look and getting back to me?
Many thanks,
Hellenic Bride

Dear Hellenic Bride,
Many thanks for your faithful readership! celia and I are most glad to critique (constructively) your look. Here goes ...
We see a number of things here. First, an asymetric cut to your gown, a lightly feathered strap with matching rhinestone work in the bodice, and a neutral bouquet - all things we have advocated in recent months. Good work on picking up on these neo-basics and making them yours. We don't know you at all, so we can't say what kind of person you are, but we would have liked to see you go a little bigger with these decisions - a *little* more drama in the strap, for example, would have done the trick.
Permit us to ask: who tailored your gown? We hope you didn't pay them terribly much.
Also, although we commend your decision to stick to a white bouquet, we wonder if you are actually holding asparagus. Is your bouquet made of asparagus? That's kind of what it looks like. I mean, kudos if you were going for originality - edible arrangements are all the rage these days. But, seriously? Asparagus? If you must incorporate it at all, save it for the centerpiece, girl.
A feathered headpiece? NOW we're talking! We love its strategic placement and its coordination (without being matchy-matchy) with the feathered strap. Well-done!
We also appreciate what you've done with your hair. We love a classic side-sweep that does not throw us back to 1994. (Well, to be honest, we love it even then).
In general, Hellenic Bride, it looks like you have opted for the nebulous middle-ground between strictly traditional and flashily contemporary. We think you've done well overall: 85%
Looking forward to friendly referrals,
WB
