Are you wearing your veil when the ceremony is over to take pictures? When will you remove it?

There are some pictures I want my veil in like it flowing in the wind. I will wear it for some but then remove it. I can't really wear it for the first dance because it's so long.

I had a few pictures in mind of what I wanted with it so once I got those pictures over with, I took it off for everything else

I think Im with these ladies....

Bump I think I will wear for ceremony and 1/2 photos not during reception

I don't see anything wrong with taking it off for some pictures then putting it on for others then taking it off for the reception then putting it on for the first dance. As long as you have someone to help you and it doesn't mess up your hair then wear it when you want and take it off when you don't want it.

Me I will probably take it off once the reception gets going.

I'm taking it off after the first dance.

I wore mine the whole night, pics came out fantastic! It's up to you how you want it to look. Mine has the beaded flower design around the edge that matches my dress so I felt like it was part of it, plus I don't ever imagine being able to wear one for any other occasion so I took full advantage of it whatever you're comfortable is what you should go with, maybe keep on some pictures , but not others. And also take into consideration if it will bother you or not. Mine was medium length, it went past my shoulders so it stayed back most of the night. You don't want it to be bugging you. It might help to tell your MOH so she can help you put it on/take it off during the events you choose.

I'm wearing mine for the ceremony and some of the pics. I just did my bridals and I took some with and some without. My veil was very easy to take out and put back in. I want the back of my dress to be seen cause it's gorgeous and the veil covers it, so I'm not wearing it all night.

I'm not wearing it during our first look. I'm also not wearing it during family photos or bridal party photos. I'm wearing it for the ceremony and for some of the bride and groom photos but not all. Probably just the ones we take after the ceremony.

I will wear it during the ceremony and for some photos. I think it's fine to wear it for some and remove it for the rest. Mine is also long so wearing it for the first dance is not really an option.

I took mine off during cocktail hour. I was over it

I'm oddly obsessed with veils. I have 3 veils. All handmade by FMIL with lace and swarovski crystals. BUT veil 1 is a super long cathedral veil for the ceremony 2.) Is a replica of 1 but waltz length (to my knees) for the reception. And #3 was just made with the left over fabric. It comes to my chin and is for the bachelorette party

Taking mine off immediately after the ceremony.

Interesting! the history of the veil is actually religious if you did not know. It is symbolized by the bride covering herself with the veil before she is wed and it is lifted off of her after the vows (traditionally when the groom lifts it to kiss her). Its religious because it symbolizes her purity and veiling her body before she is married. And when the vows are said she can lift the veil (or "uncover" her body) and reveal it to her husband. It basically symbolizes giving her body to her husband as a gift of love (and vice versa of course). So as you can assume this tradition has died out, or at least the meaning of it, so its really up to you when you want to take it off. I have a cathedral veil (which symbolizes this metaphor very well because it covers my entire body). and of course i will take it off after the ceremony. Ill take pictures with it but at the reception its going off. Idk if this helped-just thought i'd give you some insight

I will wear mine all night

Im taking mines off right after the ceremony.

I'm not really having dancing at the wedding and I like the look of the veil so as of now I'm thinking of keeping it on the whole day. The only thing Im worried about is if I get a long veil it might be annoying, but I guess once I actually get a veil the exact details can be worked out.

My veil is elbow length and I'm planning to take it off right before or after dinner. Long enough to do our photos during cocktail hour and maybe some right after dinner as the sun will be setting during that time. But it will definetly be off before we do our introduction/first dance! I absolutely love my veil and would wear it all night, but I don't feel comfortable doing so while dancing, etc.

I'll take some pictures with it before and after the ceremony, but then the damn thing is coming off!

I am going to take some pictures with it, but I will not have it on for the reception
