Thanks for all of your comments on my Veil-less Brides post! I agree with you that I don't need a veil to be a bride, and I'm leaning toward not having one. Just thinking about my dress and type of accessories I want to wear, I don't think the veil will be necessary. If I had one, I'd only wear it during our 30-minute ceremony and I wouldn't want to wear a blusher. I tried on veils with blushers when I bought my dress, and the blushers made me feel weird and not like myself. My maid of honor is wearing a beautiful veil for her wedding, and it has religious/cultural significance for her Jewish ceremony. A veil doesn't have that kind of meaning for me, so I'll probably go without.
When I really want a veil is when I see pictures like these (all from the Weddingbee Gallery):
So pretty! The long ones are my favorite. I love it when they flow in the wind!
I just finished my veil, at least the first part (I'm planning to bead the crap out of it), and I love it. But I also don't have a ton of hair, so I felt like I needed some extra fanciness going on on my head. It was like, $5 for the supplies, so I figured, money well spent. I'm not doing a blusher, but some of those pictures make me want one...
ReplyDeleteI love the look of long veils, too! I don't think it would work with my dress, though. I can't wait to see what you decide!
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to read what you decide. These photos are beautiful, thank you for the to veil or not to veil inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAww! The 6th picture down is at Stanford! I want to get married in the Stanford Memorial Church, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThose photos are really pretty. I didn't want a veil either, but then my Mum gave me hers to wear. I ended up loving it. Really felt like a bride.
ReplyDeleteI've got a...duster, I think it's called. Just below the shoulders? Anyhoo, it's cute and after thinking that maybe I wouldn't wear it, I definitely will...I felt like a bride when I put it on.
ReplyDeleteYup, like you...I'm not wearing my veil for anything more than the ceremony and no blusher. But I do adore those pics you posted. Unfortunately, my veil is not that long at all. I am sure you'll be gorgeous no matter what.
