JW: Who is wearing their Veil over thier face for thier walk down the asile?

falsara

Hi all,

So I was just wondering how many fellow Knotties are wearing their veil so that it covers their face for the walk down the aisle.

I have a veil that has two layers and I was thinking of wearing the top layer/ blusher over my face mainly because FI requested it.

Who else is doing this or not doing this.

Thanks!

I'm wearing a tulle & net birdcage veil, so primarily over my face. But I wear birdcage veils frequently for various costumes and my derby persona comes out during intros in a silver birdcage veil.

I'm not wearing a veil at all

I doubt I'l be wearing any veil, but if I do, I don't want it covering my face.

I am probably wearing a veil, but I know I don't want it covering my face. I'm paying for amazing makeup, and I wouldn't want it hidden even if just for a short walk down the aisle.

I'll be wearing blusher because I really want my dad to do the whole lifting the veil thing for me when we get down the aisle...I'm annoying traditional sometimes

I'm wearing my mom's veil but will wear it back. I want to be able to see FI and have him see me clearly as I'm headed down the aisle!

My mom wants me to wear it over my face, which surprised me...I don't really care, as long as I push it back BEFORE the ceremony. It does look kinda cool down.

I'm not. My ceremony is outside, and I don't want the wind smashing it into my lipgloss and mucking it up.

I did for my first wedding.  I did the traditional Daddy lifting it off thing like TexasBride said.  I'm not having a veil this time though.

Same here, from another 2014 Texas bride. Traditional, sure. Not good for photos, maybe. But 100% a moment that I want with my dad.

Exactly! Even if I didn't want it, I'd still do it because I know that's one of the things he has on his FOB checklist

Could you have a first look with your dad, have him lift it then, and then walk down the aisle without it if you want to see your face in pictures?

Another bride not wearing a veil here. I tried one on and didn't like how it looked on me or how it felt. I ended up buying a jeweled hairpiece to wear instead. I think even if I was wearing a veil I wouldn't do a blusher.

I wearing a veil but back, not over my face.

I'm still deciding on if I wear a veil or not, and then I'll have to decide if I do the blusher or not. So I like the look, but not necessarily because its "traditional". Because its not actually a sweet tradition. Or at least, it didn't start off as one. I know traditions and cultural signifiers shift, as this one has certainly seemed to, and that the true meaning of symbols is the one we as a society attribute to them as opposed to their origins. But I think its really funny to remember that the veil over the bride's face started as a way to keep the bride and groom of arranged marriages from seeing each other clearly or being able to smell each other (what with the lack of bathing). It was supposed to diminish the chance of one of them running away.

I will be wearing a veil however I will not be wearing a blusher.

My veil is a chapel length one tier veil so I can't wear it over my face.
