While we don't exactly wear veils to ward off evil spirits anymore, they are still a traditional part of a bride's wedding day look! Are you wearing a veil on your wedding day? Ditching the veil entirely? Or are you wearing something else like a flower crown or jeweled comb atop your tresses? Are...

Are you ditching or saying "I do" to wearing a veil?

At first I wasn't going to. I tried one on at the place where I bought my dress and didn't really like how it looked.. it was just about half way down my back and came around to cover my shoulders. But after doing a little research I feel in love with the longer, thinning veils and decided to wear one. My just came in the mail yesterday!

I'm conflicted, I'm going to be wearing my hair down, and when I tried on veils with dresses they just kept sliding off my head... But when else will I be able to wear a veil 🤔

I was completely set on not wearing a veil at all but my mom has been really insistent on it so I think I will get one and wear it for some of my photos to appease her but not actually in the ceremony.

I will be wearing my moms veil. Plan on doing my hair like this with a hair comb the matched the belt on my wedding dress. The veil will come off after pictures so I saw no reason not to do veil and large comb

I'm wearing a cathedral veil, but it's really personal preference on how you feel wearing a veil!

DO ! I am wearing a veil on my wedding day, although I am not covering my face with the veil I think it will add a little something extra to my gown.

I'll be wearing a veil but only on the back of my head even though it has a blusher. I hate having stuff over my face, it makes me feel stupid inside.

I am going to have some kind of jeweled hair piece plus my veil. I was going to do the hairpiece and a cape rather than the veil, but my FMIL bought the matching veil for my dress so I will be wearing that instead

I never wanted to take my veil off. I loved having it. I'll never forget it.

I am always in favor of veils! There is no other time you would typically wear a veil so I'm always in favor of them. They just complete the bridal look! I wore a fingertip veil with a tiara and loved the look. I am a fan of flower crowns with veils too.

I didn't originally plan to wear one, but I just ordered a lovely beaded one that I think will complement my dress nicely. We'll see how it looks with my dress when it gets here.
