Veils - yes or no?

I'm in between. I went back and forth on the decision and finally decided on a birdcage veil. It goes best with my dress.

I was a hard pass on the veil for a long time, but my mom really wanted me to have one for pictures and such. I think the days of it covering your entire face as you walk down the aisle are gone, but I knew that definitely wasn't something I wanted.

When I had my dress on and the consultant put on a veil, I felt like a bride! I'll be wearing it for the ceremony and pictures, and then it's coming off.

I decided against one. I was thinking about getting a cap veil designed like the ones worn in the 1920s but the cheap ones were really cheap looking and the ones that looked nice weren't worth the cost to me. I have one of the 1920s cloche hats that I will take some fun pictures with as FH is wearing a fedora, my mom got the same style hat so we want to get some fun pictures with all our hats. FH is a hat guy, not just baseball caps but newsboy caps, boaters, straw hats, fedoras. So it will be fun for us all to wear fun hats for pictures.

ETA: I tried on a very pretty veil similar to the style I wanted with my dress when I bought it. It was only $200 cheaper than my dress and I thought that was ridiculous. My mom offered to pay but I couldn't let her spend that much money.

I’m defintely wearing a veil. I think it completes the look. I wouldn’t feel right not wearing one. I’m wearing a royal length veil with rhinestone edging

Definitely wearing a veil. I think they look beautiful and really add to the pictures. Plus like PP said I felt so much more bridal once I had put it on trying on my dress. I will not be covering my face when walking down the isle and we will see how annoying it is during the reception. I may take it off after pictures are done.

I bought one, but it kind of depends what my hair does in the next 9 months. I'd like my hair to grow longer, because as of right now it's too short to hold up my cathedral length veil. I'll be a little upset if I can't wear it but I also can't control everything. I love the look of veils. I think they add such a sense of romance to your ceremony. I'll be taking mine off for the reception (If I can even wear it) but I love the look of veils walking down the aisle.

Yes! Most definitely.

I also was anti-veil for the longest time. My mom really wanted me to wear one but I was still on the fence. Once I had picked my dress and saw it with a veil I was sold. I will be wearing it only for the ceremony and some pictures then its coming off. I also chose not to spend a ton of money on it and ordered it off Amazon for like $30.

I wasn’t sure about a veil. When I was trying on dresses I also tried a veil with the dress I ended up choosing. After that I wanted a veil. Fast forward 7 months later and I bought a hair comb instead. I’m not anti-veil but I thought about my style, dress and location and didn’t think it would make sense for me.

I got mine on JJs house for like $25! I'll be wearing it for like two hours, tops, haha why spend a ton on it?

Probably a birdcage as well. Only considering informal dresses now, though.

Yes I am wearing one. I think it completes the bridal look.

Yes, I'm wearing a chapel length veil with my dress. I think a veil looks gorgeous with my dress.

Originally I wasn't going to wear one, but I changed my mind. I just got it in the mail yesterday, actually. I ordered a very simple, pencil edge fingertip length veil from amazon

View Quoted Comment Same here, my hair is short in the back and longer in the front. Bob style. My hair is also thin. I don't think my hair is able to hold a veil. I wasn't planning on wearing one, but my fh said he wanted one to "flip over" my head. So I just bought a kids veil for $35. It goes to my elbows. I'm still not sure I want to wear one 😞

Yes, I'll be wearing one! It made me feel more bridal, and I love those pictures with the veils blowing behind the bride.

Love veils! Can't wait to wear mine.

I have a veil but im not sure ill use it
It was the veil my sister wore at her wedding
Im not sure i like veils tho but if last minute i want one like for pictures i have that option

I am wearing a finger-tip beaded veil. It's super beautiful. It has a blusher, but I don't think I will be wearing the blusher part.

I've gone back and forth between wanting one and not wanting one. I guess it all depends on the type, your hairstyle and dress.
