Skipping the veil?

Initially, I didn't want to wear a veil for the ceremony. But after my mother caused such a big stink, I thought, why not? I ordered a veil from Blanca Veils off Etsy and I don't really like it.

I'm thinking about just wearing hair accessories since I plan on wearing my hair down anyway. Is anyone else skipping wearing a veil altogether? What hair accessories did you wear instead? Did anyone think it was weird?

    I am going to skip it. I have a few factors, I will be 31 when we get married, which I guess isn't "old" but I feel silly wearing a veil (in my own personal opinion) plus this is my second wedding. I will be wearing my hair down in some way and I have seen gorgeous hair pieces I'm thinking about doing.

    No veil. I don't want to be bothered with one, I'm paying enough for my hair too- I don't want it covered up, or ruined in the process of taking it out. I bought a small hair comb off of Etsy, and it has little flowers that match our wedding colors. Smiley smile

    If you do not like it, do not wear it!

    I'm not wearing a veil because my FH has seen my face before so their "official" use is defunct

    I did not want a veil at all and skipped it. My mom was uneasy with my decision at first, so I did try several on to make sure I really did not like them and, well, each one I tried make me hate them more.

    When I finally found the right headband, my mom got on board because she realized my look was already complete and it would be okay if I ended up not finding a veil I liked, too.

    I had a veil but I also considered hair vines, flower crowns, and a blingy feather fascinator.

    I'm not wearing one. I love the back of my dress and I felt like it took away from it. Plus I did not like the way it looked on me.
