Veil with blusher?

I'm getting married at a traditional Lutheran church this summer.  I want to wear a veil for tradition sake, but not sure if I should have a blusher, and if, should I have it cover my face?  Is that too old school?  My finace is pretty old fashioned, but I'm more modern.  Thoughts?

    It's up to you. Try it both ways at a bridal salon while wearing your dress and see what's comfortable for you.

    I wore a veil w/ blusher. It stayed over my face for the walk down the aisle (I walked w/ both of my parents). At the end of the aisle, mom lifted the veil, dad kissed me and for the rest of the ceremony, it was off my face. Some gals have their FI/DH lift the blusher, but I didn't want that. Then, after the ceremony, once we were in the car on the way to the reception, i removed the veil and didn't wear it at all for the party portion of the evening. My updo had some rhinestones in it that I wanted to show off.  :)

    Good luck with whatever you decide!

    I wore a veil w/ blusher for my wedding.  The main reason I wanted the blusher was because I'm not a fan of single layer veils... they're just not my preference.  As for having the blusher cover your face while walking down the aisle - I've seen it both ways and it's pretty 50/50.  I personally chose to have it cover my face, but that was no easy decision.  I kept wavering back and forth with the same thoughts you're having - traditional vs. modern.  I literally chose to have it cover my face while my bridesmaids were going down the aisle - talk about a last minute decision!  I did it for two reasons: (1) I'm very close with my dad and I had a feeling that he would appreciate it and (2) I tend to learn toward the traditional side.  Would my wedding have been any less special without it?? Absolutely not.  After finishing the walk down the aisle, my mom and dad lifted the blusher and that was that.  I still can't believe that I spent so much time thinking about a detail that only lasted 10 seconds, haha.  Honestly, whichever way you go, it won't matter the next day (heck, it won't matter an hour later!).  Like pp said, I removed my veil for the reception and never wore it the rest of the evening.  Ask your FI and see what he thinks - perhaps it could be something that you do for him? 

    No matter what you choose, you'll make a beautiful bride.  GOOD LUCK!!
