  I was not planning on wearing a veil either...until I saw pictures of myself in my dress.  I just looked like I was wearing a pretty dress, but not like a bride.  I think I am going to get a simple veil that hangs in the back and wear it for the ceremony only.  If you would feel more bride-ish, I say go for the veil.  You can always get an inexpensive one and decide day of if you want to wear it or not.

  I say go for the veil!!  I love them.  I think they are so classically pretty.  I don't really go for the whole ettiquette "second time bride should do this" thing.. There are so many second marriage brides out there now that it kind of takes away all those old timey rules.  I think they are kind of archaic.  Its your day and if you feel extra beautiful in a veil you should wear one!!!  And in the wise words of my fiance when we were discussing doing something that we though some guests may not approve of "its my wedding, so if you don't like it, you can kiss my ass."

  I think the veil completes the bride look/feel but it is totally up to.  I don't think it should matter if it is your second weeding.

  she doesnt want a blusher so I don't think she would want a bridcage it seems.

  
  

  I think go for the veil something simple and classic use it for the ceremony and pictures. I am a first time a bride and that is what I am doing. rules are not as strict as they used to be and unless you have very old fashioned family it shouldn't matter.

  I am prop veil. I wasn't but then I read the words "your wedding is the only time in your life to wear a veil - you should indulge".
  
  Like the PPs said, you can get lovely simple ones - I say go for it!

  Eh, who cares what the "traditional" rules are. Wear white and an veil!
  I really don't like veils but I do LOVE birdcage veils. I bought mine on Esty for $19! The link is in my planning bio under vendors.

  Go for what makes you happy, aka the veil! I think it completes the look, so go for it!

  I think you should do what makes you happy. I hate all of those sayings that you shouldn't this and that. Who cares? This is my third marriage (first wedding) and I am wearing white and two veils (one finger tip and one chapel). I don't care what people think. If they are going to judge I don't want them there anyway! My friend had so many people at her wedding that she thinks are her friends and the whole time they were whispering crap behind her back that her wedding was just a fantasy anyway. I really felt bad for her. It made me realize that I really don't care who is there as long as they are truly supporting me.
