Veil Help XP

I posted this on my month board, but since the results came out the same for each veil, it didn't help much.  

I bought my dress used and the previous owner threw in two veils.  One is a plain cathedral length veil.  The other is a birdcage veil with a feather clip.  I'm going to wear my hair half up, half down.  My mom is pushing for me to wear the long veil because it's "elegant" and because it's what she likes.  I'm leaning toward the birdcage because the ceremony is outside.  No matter what veil I wear it's coming off after the ceremony.  

I realize this is really far in advance, but after having my mom ask multiple times what veil I'm going to wear (and that's just this week, it's been an ongoing thing), I really have no idea.  My dress is Allure 2257 in ivory.  Please ignore the messy room.  I couldn't get a picture of the full long veil, but this is close enough.

    Why don't you wear the long veil for the ceremony and then the birdcage for the reception?  I know you said that no matter what veil you wear it will come off after the ceremony, but I think that if you had the right placement with the birdcage where hardly any of the veil part covers your face it would be a nice accessory for your hair.

    My friend is leaning towards a birdcage and has decided that for the ceremony the veil would be over her face but then for the reception she would flip the birdcage veil around so that the veil portion would cover the back of her head. (I hope that made sense...I know all of that sounded weird)
