Veil-less?

No veil for the kid, not my thing.

Without a veil you're just a girl in a pretty white dress - Randy Fenoli

I wore one for my first wedding but this time around im wearing a tiara, which i wanted to wear the first time but didnt & regretted it. I also want to show off the back of my dress and a veil doesnt really go with it (imo).

A birdcage is a mini version anyway sorta kinda so that's good enough.

I kind of feel like a dork having the whole veil and blusher but my family is so traditional so I'm doing them both.

Thank you all so much! The FH really wants a veil, but it just isn't my style (I don't even wear hats, let alone a poof of tulle!) I have a while to decide, but now thanks to all of your words I won't feel like I will make the wrong decision, whichever way I swing.

I tried on a veil but it felt too traditional and formal for me. I have a brooch bouquet, and I'm wearing a sparkly antique looking comb in my hair for a little bling.

I only will get one time to wear a wedding gown & a veil in my life. So I'm going full speed ahead, with a chapel length gown & a two tier fingertip wedding veil with a headband. In my head I will be saying, "Go Robin, Go, Robin, Go Robin", lol

No veil for me. My hair was in a low, side chignon and so I opted for (fake) flowers in my hair. I LOVED the look! DW wore a veil, and it was perfect for her. Here's a pic - I thought we each looked timeless with what we chose!

I was so picky I almost didn't find one. I did and I am so glad. You have to do what ur comfortable with

I never wanted a veil until they put one on me at the store. Then I went veil crazy. I bought a finger tip, cathedral and birdcage. But the day of the wedding, I was over it. I thought about putting on the birdcage, but didn’t feel like messing with it nor did I feel like I was missing anything. I had a very large, sparkly barrette and I felt that was sufficient.

No veil for me. I thought about finding a clip or a comb that had some sort of tulle or lace on it, but couldn't find one I liked. Besides, it's my second wedding and at 36, I think I'd feel ridiculous in a veil. After hours of searching, I found a comb that I liked.

I think Aronna put it best! I wore a cathedral veil for the ceremony, it is my thing and I always pictured myself in one. Once it was in I kind of forgot it was there to be honest, but I love how it looks in pictures. If you don't like veils then don't wear one, you won't regret it if it's not your thing.

I've always pictured myself wearing a veil. I want a long cathedral one

The back of my dress is sooo nice that I don't want to cover it up with a veil.

I was all for he birdcage.. until I got my dress and the lady put a long cathedrial veil on me... and all bets were off!

I still might switch the veil for a birdcage for the reception just because it's my day I feel like it

This girl is my veil-less inspiration. Her hair is so amazing, she didn't need one and I love the big flower. She DIY-ed her whole wedding for 160 for under 7,000, and it was amazing!

I won't have a veil. I love the back of my dress..I also want my tattoo to show..because I love it so much (its between my shoulders). I may find some sort of pretty pearls or something to have put in my hair.

I am not wearing a veil. The back of my dress has a lot of detail and I feel like it hides it. I am wearing rhinestone headband. This is your day so do what makes you feel best!

Wow! I love this post! I really thought I was the only bride that has never wanted one. Even my photographer thought I was crazy when I told him no veil.
