Anyone else not wearing a veil?

I've decided to not wear a veil, just a simple comb in my hair. It looks better with my dress to not wear one. Anyone else forgoing the veil?

  • I'm not. I hate veils.

    I didn't, and I don't think I looked any less bridal.

  • Will not here either.....tried a few on and just didn't like them.  Maybe too formal for me.

  • I don't see myself in a veil and am seriously considering not wearing one. I can't see paying that much money for one if I'm only going to wear it for the ceremony and remove it before the reception. I don't think my mother is too happy about this, but its my choice after all.

  • I'm not wearing one. I toyed with the idea of a birdcage but in the end decided just to wear a bling-y hair comb.

    TBH, I think veils look like crap on most people and are hugely distracting.

    My mom hated the idea too until she saw me in the dress both with a veil and with the comb. She also disliked the veil with my dress

  • I think a veil would just be an annoyance all day long, so I'm forgoing the extra cost to be comfortable.

  • Im on the fence. Im known for wearing flowers in my hair so I went out and bought a huge gorgeous one that goes perfectly with my dress. When my grandma found out that I wasn't wearing a veil she was heartbroken. I dont like veils but Im afraid I will look back and regret not wearing one for at least the ceremony.
  • Anyone ever seen both a flower and a veil? I think I'd like to do a veil for the ceremony and a flower either at both or just at the reception, but I'm scared to mess with my hair too much after my hair lady goes home!

    I kind of hate veils, so I won't be wearing one.  I just think they look weird.
  • I have a tiny head, so most veils just looked a little weird on me. In the end, I'm not sure that I'll wear one. I did buy one so I have that option, but right now I just think I'm going for little flowers in my hair.
  • I bought a veil, and as I was getting ready at the ceremony site, I noticed it had a hole in it.  So, I didn't wear a veil and it wasn't missed.
  • I'm not wearing one ... I really don't like the look of them
  • Not sure yet thinking about a veil but not the blusher covering the face
  • I didn't wear a veil.  The bottom of my dress was very 'veil-like' and the veil itself took away from the dress.  I just did flowers on one side and loved it!
  • I really don't think I'm going to do a veil but not sure what else to do. I have short hair...any suggestions?!
  • I'm not wearing one either.
