Veils

Dacia, on August 26, 2019 at 12:32 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22
I’m going back and forth on a veil with my dress. I plan on wearing my hair either down or half up only as I’m not comfortable wearing it up. What are some thoughts about veils vs just a hair piece?

    I did a headband but mostly because veils and other things like birdcages just didn't look good on me.

    It really depends on what you feel most comfortable with. Wearing a veil makes me feel more bridal, but skipping a veil is totally fine! That's what Princess Eugenie did, and nobody missed the veil

    I did feel more bridal when I put it on, that’s for sure. Thank you!

    I'm only doing a haircomb- my dress is a statement in and of itself and I hate having things on my face.

    I’m doing a pin under my veil for the ceremony and then for the reception I’m taking my veil off

    I loved how dramatic, romantic, and bridal wearing a veil made me feel. This is the only time in my life I could possibly wear one so I wanted to take advantage of it. I wore a custom made lace edged cathedral veil with a fresh flower crown for my pre-ceremony pictures and for the ceremony. I then removed the veil after the ceremony.

    That looks beautiful! That’s a good way to think of it. I’ll never get to wear one again. I keep leaning towards one so I may go with one!

    I skipped the veil and did a small hairpiece. I couldn't justify spending money on something I knew I'd take off for the reception. I also wore my hair up, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference to you.

    I'm not doing a veil. I just can't see one working with my dress, so I'm just looking for a decorative hair comb wear.

    I wore a veil for the ceremony, and then took it off for the reception. I bought it off Amazon, so I didn't spend that much. I liked the veil for the ceremony, as it made me feel more bridal. However, I also wanted to show off my hair.

    I bought a simple veil that matches my dress exactly is material and color. I accidentally set it where my cats could get to it, not thinking.
    I am no longer wearing a veil.

    Your hair is very well done! Super pretty. I’d want to show that off too
