Veil-less knotties, anyone want to share a ceremony picture?

EK2013

I'm down to the last days before my wedding, and I keep worrying irrationally that I won't feel very "bridal" sans-veil during the ceremony. (There was an heirloom veil that won't work with my dress; I guess I'd always expected to be bullied into that one and never made a backup plan.)

Sorry I'm late. Had a migraine.

I'm an older bride do I really didn't feel it appropriate but I've never been a veil girl, even for my first wedding.

I had a feather fasinator designed by an etsy seller.

I'm second-guessing my decision to go veil-less too!  Was watching "Randy to the Rescue" last night and he told a bride, "don't forget without a veil you're just a girl in a white dress."

<div>Eep, I'm sorry you had a migraine. I have a smaller hair clip (and I'm planning to stand so that it will be visible during the ceremony), so the last picture really helps me feel better, since obviously you look fantastic!</div>

<div>If I <em>liked </em>any particular veil, I think I would have picked one by now. I really hate the picture I have of myself in a fingertip-length veil, which is conceptually what I would most want! I was just looking at a $15 birdcage veil at Michaels trying to figure out if I should buy the veil just to see if it would work, but I love love love my hair clip and I'm not sure I want to distract from it!</div><div>
</div><div>ETA: Also, David Tutera basically told me that my wedding will be tacky because my bridesmaids are not wearing the same shoe. Silly wedding industry people! David, I'm sure, would also take exception to my table numbers and linens. ;)</div>

I've met David, he's snotty, so I would ignore that.

As far as Randy I love him, but in the next episode one lady told him it remined her of mosquito netting so she wasnt wearing one, he didnt say anything to her.

There are plenty of brides that dont wear veils, I think it's aa personal decision.

And thanks for the compliment.

This is the only close up I have of my hair.

I agree, that it is all about personal preference and a veil is not absolutely neccessary.  Just as every bride chooses a different style of dress, every bride will choose something different to wear on her head/in her hair. 

My fiance actually told me he thinks veils look old-fashioned and he doesn't want me to wear one!  Part of me wants to wear one anyway, but part of me is glad he said that, because by not buying a veil, that's one less thing for me to spend money on, LOL! 

You will still be beautiful on your wedding day!

i just wanted to wear a tiara but keep going back and forth. i would only wear it for the ceremony though and no pictures because i want my hair to show flowing down my back

I figured you only get to wear a veil once in your life. So I am!

I'm not posting pictures, but I think The Knot's hair gallery has a lot of veil-less pictures.

I won't be wearing a veil. I just don't like the way they feel on me. I'm just going to wear my hair down and wavy and stick some flowers or a sparkly something in it. I think veil-less brides are just as lovely.
