As you shouldn't dress to outshine the bride I gave it a go at outshining the cake instead - with lots of pink fluff! Thinking cotton candy, strawberry whipped cream...
Not fluff all the way though; first I had to fix the fact that I had laid my rollers bad the day before - stupid foam rollers that won't stay in place. I even slept with them on all well tucked into a scarf goddamit and I got a fluffy cotton candy head! (Which wasn't really the point with what I mentioned earlier as I was more thinking pink fluff in clothing, not hair...)
(Of course it was no real problem, only a change of plan; moments later hair was fixed and fluff was in the right places and right places only.)
This picture could be called "Ah, its so fun posing on the hotel balcony" but instead it's "my hair is partly baby-pink nowadays, see?" Because cotton candy is OK for hair if we're talking colour, not texture.Or that's what I'd say.
And you know what? The wedding cake actually was pink!(I won, I had more fluff on me than it did :)
And the outfit;
Dress - this one (Queen of hearts from ModCloth). The petticoat is Vivien of Holloway (amazingly soft and fluffy).
Shoes - these ones, my Christmas gift Parikka's.
The bag is from Stockmann's, the pearls are vintage.
And it's only part of my fringe that's pink. Yet.

It's hard to believe that you don't outshine everyone no matter where you are. :)
Oh my God... you were awesome!! I don't know why it is that everytime I have to be reaaaally beautiful and I plan everything accurately (like a wedding, for example) it all ends up wrong and I feel ugly, badhaired.. It didn't happen to you, though.. I admire that sooo much!!

Very beautiful pictuere. I love pink...kis kiss
Gorgeous! I love the little bits of pinking popping through :)
You look really fabulous, and those pink shoes are simply perfect!
Divine!
I'm a guy but i really love your writings and your style. You are so gorgeous!
gorgeous is right! I'm so jealous of platinum blondes because its so easy for you to just add a touch of cotton candy pink to your hair! it looks so fabulous! That picture of you smiling really big is precious.

you look awesome! I know want a big fluffy pink petticoat.
Love the whole outfit from top to toe! And candy floss coloured hair looks almost as good as candy floss itself (and I do love candy floss a whole lot!). x
I think I said that before, but I'm thinking it's ok to remind you: you look lovely in pink!
every time you wear those shoes I love them more
how do you put in rollers to achieve this kind of effect with your hair? it looks lovely and instantly retro, and i'd like to try it!
You definetly nailed it =) Looking at the petticoat it brings to my mind those dancing competitions where women are wearing with lots of pink feathers, generous and fluffy petticoats and lots of sparkle. Lovely outfit for a wedding.
I'm glad you showed that cake who's boss!
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL !! And I love your wide and bright smile...!
You look amazingly beautiful! Seriously!
P.S. It's funny that you write that you feel like you're going abroad but you're still in Finland. When I go to Åland I feel exactly the opposite: like I'm still in Sweden, but actually I'm abroad in Finland! It never really occurs to me until I have to pay in Euros. I love Åland...especially Sandö!
Yeah, you look amazingly beautiful, ... beautiful dress and it's great to share..
I know little about Finland
You look lovely! The cake must have been jealous.
Such class!
The cake never stood a chance.
You looked stunning!
Freakin' love this look!!!
Eee! I love this outfit. Especially the petticoat. You could beat any cake any day. =D

Amazing!! The pink is soooo gorgeous and that petticoat is darling :-D I really want one of those actually!
The pettycoat! The shoes! Normally I'm not so fond of pink but I really like this outfit!
That's the prettiest dress I've ever seen!
Oletko leikannut hiuksesi? :o
Holy moly, doll, you look RAVISHING!
The petticoat is amazing - that's a fantastic detail. The whole cut and style of the dress is wonderful too.
I don't remember if you've ever smiled with so many teeth showing on the blog before :)
Also, congratulations on your victory, I'm sure the cake was properly surprised to be defeated, but I have no doubt that you deserved the victory :)
Så vacker! <3
You look like cotton candy ! ;)
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
Hey, I really need a new pink lipstick and the one you're using here (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_26yvOW5x3Hw/S6AmvwuERtI/AAAAAAAAC8k/Dm9hbZQvrVM/s1600-h/sailorcherry-2.jpg) is just what I'm looking for. What lipstick is that? Is it Mac?
Or is it a combination of shades to get the perfect lips?
Thank you in advance!
This is a beautiful look. The pink is phenomenal. Wonderful nostalgia!
Have a great day!
Thank you all for the nice comments :)
I didn't cut my hair, it's only curled and pinned together plus rolled on a rat for a short fake bob look!
What a good idea to wear the same baby pink color with your shoes and the petticoat, I love it !
The best feature of your outfit is your smile.... smiles sometimes outshine no matter who !!!
You look amazing! I'm in love with the shoes and I definitely must buy a crinoline like this to pair with my Vivien of Holloway dress!!!
Thanks for your sharing
You look delicious indeed, girl!
I see you rolled and pinned your hair to achieve a bob look, and i'm looking for the same effect for a wedding i have coming up to attend. Could you give me some pointers on how you did it? Yours looks absolutely stunning.
Eeteen : FIrst, have your hair in the front/bangs rolled in about three standing pincurls (the way I do a lot nowadays, like in my latest post about the trip to Tallinn for exaple) and brush them out and form into suitable waves.
You should have the rest of the hair curled too, then roll it up with a rat (like I do in this tutorial : http://freelancersfashion.blogspot.com/2008/08/hairdos-3-all-rolled-up.html). You can leave the hair on the sides rather loose; roll the rat tight in the middle but looser on the sides, but secure the roll well. I stick in two big clips in the end of the roll on both sides, they won't show as they "disappear" into the curls, as well as some bobby pins were needed. Style the hair on the sides with your fingers to lay the curls like you desire. Spray and that's it!
Oh thank you! you are such a doll! I will have to send you a picture of the finished result
This outfit is SOOOOOOOOOO amazing.
