Are you wearing a veil?

I wasn't planning on it, but I'm really indecisive.  We're having peacock feathers as a theme.  My dress is ivory, and originally I was going to rock blue shoes and an awesome, fun peacock feather hairpiece.  Now I'm thinking of going all ivory... and maybe wearing a veil for the ceremony.  There are bleached peacock feather hairpieces on etsy I'm looking at for the reception.  Why can't I make a decision?!  What are you guys doing?  Any advice for me?  Here's a pic of my dress just in case.  I'm wearing a crystal belt with it.

    I think either one would be beautiful for you.  You could always do an ivory hairpiece and ivory shoes for the ceremony, then change to a fun peacock hairpiece and blue shoes for the reception.

    Personally, I am most definitely rocking a veil... I only get one chance to wear a veil (and a dress with a train) so I wanted to really make them count.

    I LOVE your dress! I like the veil for the ceremony and feathers for the reception.

    I am definitely wearing a veil. Its very simple, but my dress is not so I diodnt want to take away from it. But like Monica said, I get to wear a veil once. Im doin it!

    I haven't decided if I'm going to wear a veil or not. It will depend on the style of my dress and what looks best. Maybe I'll wear some other kind of headpiece (like the peacock feathers, which sound beautiful)!

    Agree with others -- wear a veil for the ceremony and feathers for the rest!

    I'm wearing a veil for the ceremony too.  It has simple edges, but is 2 tiers.

    I had the same theme! I had feathers everywhere! I didn't do a veil... just not me I think its a dated tradition and I didn't like how they looked on with my dress. I had a big purple feather hair piece that looked amazing and no one even noticed that I skipped the veil and saved a BUTT load of money!

    I got the hair piece on etsy for $18 bucks I loved my vendor!
