I think you could do almost any style you wanted! Possibly the trick might be, rather than trying to mess with the hair itself, trying instead to make it interesting by accessorising it with unusual little trinkets that matched your style on the day. That would be easier, and just as effective.

Your dreads probably have the advantage of being quite easy to fix things like corsages in-- I'd recommend trying to make intriguing contrasts of texture and/or colour between your hair and the things you wear in it, and balancing them in a pleasing manner, rather than looking to overwhelm it.

Sadly I don't honestly think the million-clips look would work, now I can see what your hair looks like. It could all too easily become an imbalance of texture, too-small pieces of contrast amongst the detailed texture of the dreads. Perhaps a medium-sized mini top hat or some such would look nice? Not a really little one, but still the kind of size that would fit on a tie-on ribbon or a few clips. Or perhaps a cute pastel-coloured rose corsage? There's masses of things like that on eBay, especially if you're willing to decorate plain bases.

Would you be interested in the kinds of aristo or Victorian looks that might suit you overall?
