Forgot my veil the day of the wedding

I don't know anyone that's ever happened to- but don't feel too embarrassed or stupid!

None of your guests are going to know that you forgot your veil- they will just think you decided not to wear one!

At least you are looking at the positives and are glad people got to see the back of your dress!

Nothing you can do now. It all worked out

I'm sure you looked gorgeous! Things happen on wedding days. I got married on the 8th and go back to things I wish o would have remembered or done differently. It's hard to not obsess over the details but there's nothing we can do about any of that now. Congratulations!!

My friend forgot her "wedding earrings" and threw a complete fit and totally ruined her wedding pics because you could see how upset she was in them. ... so as long as you didn't do that (look upset in your pics) then I am sure it is all good

Share a pic, would love to see how you looked on your day.

YES!! Happened to me! I had it with me, and honestly I was shocked that it went under the radar!! It wasn’t until long into the reception that I noticed! I was devastated at the time, I was so excited to wear it and get those beautiful veil pics, but I have come to terms with it. I was honestly so excited to walk down the aisle that a veil wasnt on my mind at all. I’m still playing with the idea of doing post-wedding photos with my new hubby wearing the veil, but honestly the only reason I wanted the veil was for a very few, specific shots. I had flowers in my hair, and I focus myself on that as best I can. it was still an amazing time!!! YOU are SO NOT ALONE!!

No veil! Still best day ever

Not alone! I forgot to wear my veil. The dress was taken out of the garment bag and then the garment bag and all its contents were put into a closet so I completely forgot about the veil! Didn't think about it until the next morning and a very dark cloud came over me. SO SAD! The veil MADE that dress for me-- a very nice moment at the dress fitting! Now I can't watch Say Yes To The Dress because of obvious reasons. All in all, no one noticed, but a definite regret for me.

I didn’t forget to wear my veil, but I did forget to wear my hair piece above my veil...instead I put in my veil over it so it wasn’t visible, if that makes sense...it was visible at the reception when I took my veil off, I felt pretty stupid at the time!! But what can we do?? Move along I guess, it could have been worse!!

I forgot mine and I’m still so devastated. I know it’s no ones fault but my own but I’m still upset with people for not saying anything when they knew I was wearing it. Also when I realized right before the “grand exit” I said “OMG I forgot my veil!” And my little sister laughed (not to be mean she just didn’t think it was a big deal) and that hurt me so much. Also my mom was like “didn’t I say something??” But she didn’t or I would have realized. It still makes me so upset. Another thing is before the wedding had a falling out with my friend of over 15 years because she would not stop taking every single idea I told her (she blocked me for asking her to stop??) she used the same veil I told her about not to mention everything else from my wedding. And it just makes it that much worse. I’m still so upset.

I forgot to wear my veil… until days after the wedding when I was going through IG with pix of other brides lol I loved the back of my dress would have otherwise been hidden by the veil in those ceremony pics. I sometimes regret it but have come to terms. I never did a dress rehearsal so i dont know how i’d even feel with the veil. .

Yes it happened to me this weekend!!! I’m upset but nothing I can do now!! Still best weekend ever. Wedding was everything I dreamed of!!!

I had my wedding last Saturday and had no idea I forgot my veil until my mom said something to my dad, and he said something to me after the ceremony! Everyone said if I had it on you wouldn’t be able to see the details in my hair, but still feel a little silly having forgotten it! Glad I am not alone!

Happened to me and I’m still upset about it. Same as Maddie above I am really upset nobody reminded me. I didn’t have a wedding planner and did it all myself - 230 person wedding that lasted 3 days (rehearsal and dinner, all day wedding and day after brunch at our house) . My bridesmaids didn’t help, my mother was checked out and my MIL assumed my mother would handle everything. Wish I got a wedding planner. I listened to my husband to not get one and was so busy having to deal with the details all on my own that I didn’t have time to think about myself and my moment as a bride with the gown and veil nor did I have the support from others to help me feel like a bride. It’s done now and trying to focus on the positives but this is a sting that will not go away quickly. Wish it were different for you all but glad I’m not alone ❤️

This just happened to me! My bridesmaid was supposed to hand it to me after all the groomsmen walked down the isle but for some reason she went rouge and handed it to a staff member thinking they would give it to me.. they did not and I did not even see this person! I am absolutely crushed, once I realized I didn't have it on halfway down the isle it was a total distraction in my mind during the ceremony yes I know being married is the most important thing, but we waited for this day for 8 years and I really just wanted to look ethereal and perfect during the ceremony would love some advice about how to accept it

View Quoted Comment This sounds exactly like my day! We are on a tight budget and opted to not have a wedding planner to save the money. I forgot my veil and felt like I didn’t really have time to focus on me getting ready. I also felt like my family was checked out and it was all on me. I love my family but it was a crazy day. I am still so sad to look at my photos and see no veil but in the end I married my best friend and I couldn’t be happier!
