Wear veil down the aisle?

Talia, on April 2, 2018 at 6:32 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 18

Hello everyone,

I was wondering how many of you (or how common it is) to walk down the aisle with the veil covering the face.

I would like to walk the aisle with the veil, and when I meet my fiance just before the alter, he will unveil me. Do many of you do this, or is this a dated tradition?

    I think it’s dated. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and never seen it. I’ve only heard older generations that have actually done it

    I'm not doing it and haven't seen it done at a wedding I attended.
    However, if you really want it, you should do it! 😊

    Wearing a blusher? Yes, I wore one. It's probably more common at churches vs. something outside. Looking at weddings at the Chapel I got married at it blushers seemed fairly common, made sense given how dramatic it is as a venue.

    I will be wearing only a blusher veil, so maybe that would be more appropriate to walk the aisle than a longer veil. It will be a Jewish wedding so i can either have him unveil me before the ceremony, in which case he will see me before i walk down the aisle, or after i walk down the aisle. I really don't want him to see me before the ceremony, lol, but maybe that would be the best option.

    I’m not wearing a veil at all, and I don’t know anyone who’s done this. But I say go for it if you want to do it!

    I'm wearing a blusher and my farther will flip it over when we reach the end of the aisle. I'm taking the blusher off after the ceremomy for pictures and my main veil off before the reception. I'm doing a traditional Catholic ceremony in a historic church.

    I am walking down the aisle wearing a veil. I have been to a bunch of weddings and there were half that did it and the other have that didn't. I say it's your wedding and if you feel comfortable and want to walk with a veil do it!

    I think it's dated but that doesn't mean you can't do it

    If I end up wearing a veil, I will not be having it over my face at all. But, if you are into it, do it!

    It's really a personal choice! I feel it's a bit outdated, but if it's important to you then definitely go for it.

    I’m wearing a veil with blusher, I haven’t decided if I want to have my fiancé lift the veil before the ceremony begins(after walking down the aisle) or right before our kiss at the end, the latter seems more appropriate traditionally but the former seems more practical. Interested in reading everyone’s ideas!

    To each his own...I understand that some people think it's dated but it's your wedding and if you want to have the more traditional elements, it's your call. I originally wasn't wearing the veil over my face but I've changed my mind. I decided a long time ago that I have to have the type of wedding I want even if it's not the most modern. I guess I'm just old-fashioned.

    I want to wear a blusher down the aisle but i'm planning on having him or my dad lift it at the beginning of the ceremony for sake of pictures.

    I definitely want to do the blusher veil! Thinking about having my dad lift my veil and kiss my cheek goodbye at the end of the aisle, then have him put it back down so my FH can pull it over my head again right before our first kiss. I think they're cute and it's nice if you want to be traditional, but it's always up to you! Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be lovely!

    It’s a bit dated to me too but if that’s what you want to do, then do it. It’s your wedding!! I’m certainly not doing that -I’m claustrophobic. I can’t sleep with my head under the covers.. 😂😂 I actually didn’t want a veil at all and was adamant about not having one but my FMIL hinted it would be a good idea since we’re marrying in church and my back is not covered. I found one I love that’s perfect with my dress and deciding to wear it.
