Blusher Veil Brides

julybride, on June 19, 2017 at 12:28 PM Posted in Planning 1 14

I'm wearing a veil with a blusher, just because I like the look. I was planning to have my dad lift it at the end of the aisle. However, I just saw pictures of a Facebook friend's wedding over the weekend in which she wore the blusher throughout the ceremony/vows, and was reconsidering just wearing it throughout and having my husband lift it for the kiss. But I don't know if that would feel way too formal/stuffy/traditional. We're having an outdoor wedding and reading personalized vows.

Those of you that wore/are wearing a veil with a blusher - when did you pull it back?

    There are actually 2 types of front veil blusher which stops at the face and the drop veil which stops around the finger tip. I think it is totally up to you if you want to do it. I will have a drop veil which will be lifted by my godmother when I am presented to FH in church but that is very Eastern Orthodox.

    I'm planning on a drop veil, and then having my mother lift it.

    I'm wearing one, but I'm not sure when it will be lifted. I have moderate social anxiety so the veil is kind of being used as a cover.

    I am having the same issue as you, deciding if I want my dad or husband lifting it. I am leaning on having my dad lift it at the end of the aisle.

    Call me old fashioned, but I wore my veil over my face until the kiss. It was a formal church ceremony. Consider veil weights since your wedding is outdoor, whether you do the blusher the whole time or just for the procession.

    My parents lifted mine at the end of the aisle after the "who presents this woman to be married" part. My veil was really sheer so I could see, but we were serving communion. We didn't kiss until the very end (so our first actions as husband and wife were to serve each other then serve our family and friends) so I didn't want the veil in front of my face for that.

    On a side note, it would've been tough to read through my blusher, just in case you plan on writing down your vows. It also would've looked a bit strange in profile if I lowered my head to read. Make sure you like the look from the side (since that's how your guests and the photographer will see you!) before you decide

    My dad will be lifting it when I get to the front of the aisle where FH will be.

    I'm planning on a drop veil as well, and it will be my Dad who lifts it.

    I wore my blusher over my face until H lifted it up to kiss me. It was sheer enough that I didn't feel like my vision was blocked, and I could read and sing the hymns.

    We had communion after the vows, so I didn't have it in front of my face for that part.

    I am planning to wear a blusher veil and have my husband lift it. I think he likes the idea of lifting it for the kiss, and I didn't even realize it was (usually?) lifted sooner by someone else presenting the bride.

    I hadn't thought about how long I would have to wear it over my face - all through the readings, homily, and vows... Oh well! I think that is my plan anyway!

    I had my dad pull it back at the end of the aisle. I wanted to be able to see DH clearly during our vows!

    I'm wearing a blusher, but not sure when I'm going to have it lifted - I like the idea of being able to see my FH clearly throughout the ceremony (and gaze into his eyes, sigh) but my brother is walking me down the aisle, so I feel like it would be odd to have him lift it - maybe I'll have FH lift if before we start doing vows . . . .
