Veil or No?

I would go for a veil and get a simple one that you can still see through that only has one or two layers. I am a second time bride and wearing one. I don't think it matters and it really completes the look

I'm with Melanie!

I say go for one. It'll help you feel more secure with your back, and it'll make you look more bridal.

Your age doesn't matter. You're a bride no matter your age!

(I'm so sorry to hear about your prior loss, congrats on finding new love!)

I loved my veil! I'm definitely pro veil.

Sorry to hear about your second husband. Best wishes to you and your FH!

Veil veil veil!!!

You could always get a shorter veil that won't cover up the corset back of your dress. Those are very in-style right now.

You can take it off, you don't have to wear it the whole night.

I literally just bought mine. I went back and forth so much but decided I wouldn't quite feel as bridal if I didn't have one.

Maybe you could see a dermatologist about the sores on your back? Might make you less self conscious. If you do go with a veil, a shorter one would look nice with a dress with a short train. They have ones that just go to your shoulder blades.

Thanks everyone! I do see a derm, but we haven't gotten the problem fixed quite yet unfortunately.

I think I will go with a veil and not just because of the acne.

Thanks!

Team veil. Always always team veil! The only thing I wouldn't do, being your third wedding, is a blusher. But you're a blushing bride! Congratulations!

Yes veil! I have a corset back and I did a two tier fingertip veil. A single tier would be even more sheer to show off the corset.

This isn't my first wedding and I have chosen not to go with a veil, but I'm having a very simple intimate small wedding that is just family. I would chose one if you are having a more formal wedding. You could go with a small veil that partially covers your face and nothing down the back.

My 2nd wedding, and a veil was one of the few things DH was insistent on. He really wanted a bride in a lace dress with a flowing veil. I went with a fingertip length. My corseted wasn't hidden much at all because the veil was very sheer.

I absolutely loved my veil .. I only wore it for the ceremony though and it was sheer.. you could still see the back of my dress.

I think personally it depends on how you want your hair. I'm not wearing one because I feel like it hides to much and if in paying to get my hair done I'm going to show it off

Sorry to hear about your late husband. Congrats on your engagement & future marriage. If you feel uncomfortable about a scar, I recommend either seeing a dermatologist or inquiring with a MUA regarding coverup makeup i.e DermaBlend, etc.

Regarding veil, I am so pro veil. I think it completes the look and is such a beautiful bridal accessory. Personally, I am only going to wear it for the ceremony bc mine is cathedral. I think the reception is more of a party and therefore a different hair accessory would look best for the reception. But that is just my opinion. Best of luck. You are beautiful.

Wear a simple veil! I'm wearing a 40" tulle veil with a raw edge. It's beautiful, but not overwhelming. I'll take it off after the ceremony.
