veil

NICOLEWILSON85

So I bought a fingertip 1 tier veil, but now am having second thoughts on wearing it. I will have my hair up with a red rose it in. Are any of you guys wearing veils? What are your thoughts on them? Thanks

I wore a veil--and I loved it; I thought it pulled the whole "bride" look together...and it went really well with my dress.

Yours does go really well!

I'm anxiously awaiting replies to this one, I'm in the same position! I bought a veil after my dress too and I really didn't think I was a veil bride, but it just made me feel so much more bride-y and I instantly fell in love. I am also planning on doing a rose in my hair.

Are you thinking full-up, or half up? I've seen some really nice half-up styles with the rose as the secure point and the veil clipped in underneath. Or lower side-ponys/loose buns with the rose in the middle and veil clipped at the base of your head (if these make sense, I'll see if I can find some pictures)

Thank you!!

Are you considering forgoing the veil and wearing just the rose, or perhaps wearing a birdcage veil?

I am wearing my sister's veil as my something borrowed.  It is a single layer fingertip length.  I am going to take it off after the ceremony and swap it for a white feather fascinator.

I say go for it for at least your ceremony.  I think I will finally feel like a bride with the veil on.

This.  Initially I didnt think I wanted one, but am so glad I had one in the end.

I got a similar finger tip single layer veil...I am a super simple girl so I thought this would be great as a veil that isnt TOO much.

I bought a fingertip double layer veil, even though I wasn't sure I was going to splurge on one.  My dress is fairly simple, without a lot of beading, so it gives a bit of sparkle to the whole look.  Plus, I figure that it is the one day I will be able to wear one, so why not?  I plan on taking it off for the reception.

I don't know if I should wear it for my photo shoot before the ceremony... that is still up in the air.  Hmmm....

I guess I'm in the minority ... I did not wear a veil and still felt special. I think a veil would have given me a different feel, one I didn't like ;-) When trying on dresses, they put a veil on me and I got the willies!

With that being said....go with what makes YOU comfortable!

Up until a month before my wedding I was so not into a veil.  But that changed when Debi at Fit for a Bride showed me a blusher that she thought would go well with my dress.  I ended up loving it --

I second that! Either way, you'll be gorgeous :)

At this point I am going with a white feather fascinator.  I haven't seen it with the dress yet though so that may change.

I am going to wear an elbow length veil.   I like the veil thing for me...but I have seen many brides without one, and they still look beautiful!

I too am in the minority.  I'm wearing a white feather hair fastener with some sparkle in it (yet to be purchased).  I tried on a bird cage veil and it just wasn't for me.  Agree with PP that you should wear what you like best, veil or not!

I wasn't planning on wearing a veil either, but then I started seeing pics on here of brides with chapel length veils, blowing in the wind and I thought they looked sooo pretty!

But when I tried one on with my dress, it just didn't go, so I went with a fingertip veil. I feel more "bride-like" with one on, but yeah, it's up to you!

I don't really like veils. I thought maybe I would do birdcage but i tmake my head look like a giant sqaure...it was actually very funny. I think I am going without the veil.

thefuturemrsrumley

I purchased some chiffon flowers to add as an accent to my dress.  I'll also be putting two of them in my hair.  Maybe a small birdcage, but I'm thinking I'll skip the veil.

I found a really cool pink feather headband to wear.

I have a 2 tierd fingerlength veil I ordered from eBay for like $20. I've always pictured myself w/  a veil and am pretty girly in real life + when in the world can I wear one again? (except maybe tomorrow night at my bachelorette party )

I bought a finger tip veil, I almost was not doing a veil, then I put one on....and that was it! lol

windy112779

I had my mind set on not wearing one either .  Until i had my dress fitting a few weeks ago. It looked like something was missing , so the lady who was doing my alterations suggested i should wear a veil. I  huffed and puffed saying no way , but once she put it on me , and it wasn't hanging all in my face , i knew i had to wear one.

so i bought a double layer finger tip veil at the hobby  store  for like 10 bucks !! and one of my bridesmaids has added some beading along the edges to match my dress.  I love it !!   I'm so glad  i changed my mind.

I am!! Chapel length.  It is what I always have wanted, so I couldn't pass it up just because I am getting married in Vegas.  It is worth it to me to deal with it being cumbersome.  BTW I am also wearing a rose in my hair (half up).

I'm completely an old school fuddy duddy.  Ironically enough I'm not super girly in everyday life, but I knew from the start that I was not only going with a veil, but a blusher as well.  I can appreciate how beautiful a lot of the other brides have been with fascinators and headbands (and even hats!), but for me nothing said bride more than a fingertip, double-layer veil.  Good luck with whatever you decide!
