I'll be jumping on the trend bandwagon at my wedding with a veil during the ceremony and photos and a fascinator to dance the night away.

A lovely white phalaenopsis orchid, also playing a starring role in my bouquet. According to people "in the know," these little babies are hardy and can withstand multiple renditions of "Shout!" before needing to be replaced.
