Blusher veil question

Meaghan, on November 12, 2016 at 4:45 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9

I didn't want to hijack the other blusher thread, but I do plan to wear one. My question is: I've seen it lifted after the father walks her, kisses her cheek, etc. but I've also seen it before bride and groom kiss. Opinions on when it should be? Especially from brides who've done it already either way?

    I am not personally doing it... i was on the line about it and my fiancee said that he didnt care to do it.

    (I worked in a bridal store for 6 months) most brides dont do it and the number one reason is that they dont want to feel clostrophobic. But i agree that you can have your dad do it (like he is revealing his daughter as a wife) or you can do it at the end ( the groom unveils the bride the way christ unveils the church) the initial significance was when the groom had not even met his bride till the wedding so that is why it has kind of faded out. Hope this helps.

    I would do it after you walk down the aisle. I would want to be able to look into FH eyes when saying the vows without a blushing blocking my view. The other way is kind of romantic though.

    I think it's personal preference. I kinda like the idea of the groom lifting it, but then most of your ceremony will have the blusher over your face for pictures. I think it depends what pictures you'd like. I like the extra "fluff" the blusher adds behind your head once it's lifted thoughSmiley smile

    I don't know that we'll get too many photos during the ceremony (at least up close). The church is strict on photography and where they can stand during the ceremony. Which I'm fine with because I don't want to take away from the solemnity/sanctity of the moment. My cousin's wedding photographer practically stood beside the officiant and aimed his camera between the bride and groom. Distracting and obnoxious! Sorry- went off on a tangent!

    I wore a blusher and had my mom and dad lift it after reaching the front of the church. I then gave them both a hug and we were off to our vows.

    I think it should be the dad.... my opinion. Bc he is the first to kiss you and give you away...

    My dad lifted mine. I wanted to be face-to-face with my FH when we said our vows Smiley smile Also, it gives your MOH an opportunity to fix it if its laying funny!
