Wedding Veils and Hair - What did you decide?

Right after I bought my dress, I was really undecided on if I wanted to wear a veil. I have now ordered one from Etsy and I am so excited to wear it at my wedding on 2/22/22!

It is a waist length mantilla veil. My hair is rolled around a headband underneath and will have some tiny hairpins with rhinestones so there is some interest when I take my veil off.


What did you all decide, veil or no-veil? If you are wearing a veil, how are you doing your hair?

    You and I can be anxious together, Rosie! I pick my gown up from the alterations lady on Tuesday and have just 16 days left until our wedding on 2/22/22. Yikes!

    Your inspiration pics look so pretty. I saw your dress on another thread and it should look stunning together!

    Aww thank you! I hope so! And I love your date! I was born on the 22nd of June so I always think numbers with 2 in them are lucky. I hope it will be for you and your husband!
    Fingers crossed neither of us have anything to be anxious about at all!

    Fingers crossed and I am hoping your superstitions are correct! It will be 2 years exactly to the day my fiance proposed as well. And we are getting married at 2pm, but that had more to do with the time zones. My Nan is in New Zealand where it will be 8 am and I am her first grandchild to get married so we are streaming the wedding for her and my other family members who live abroad.

    I completely understand, Taylor. I wasn't originally planning on wearing a veil because of the meaning but I was convinced after trying one on when I went dress shopping with my sister. My style tends to be quite Victorian/Edwardian/Vintage inspired so that also contributed to my decision.

    Your hair piece is so gorgeous!!! Smiley love It actually looks like a larger and more ornate version of the pins I have, which are shaped like tiny clusters of leaves and pearls.

    The veil looks beautiful on you though! I think they look nice on a lot of people and I tried one on when dress shopping just in case but it definitely confirmed my decision that I didn’t want one lol and I love the pins you have! Very pretty

    I love this veil so much. I kind of regret not going with a long veil.

    My Sister-in-law had a similar experience with bugs at her ceremony only it was June in Virginia. Luckily her reception was indoors so we got some relief from the little pests. Your veil looks gorgeous though! I love how well the lace matches your dress.

    Oh wow! I looked at your profile and saw the photos of your dress (which is stunning and so flattering on your figure, too). Those sparkles in the veil will really shine when it is all put together!

    I'm currently leaning toward no veil, but yours looks great!

    I love a manilla veil! It suits you so well! I'm actually still undecided on a veil...I just feel weird about how I look with it on. I got mine for $14.99 off Amazon so if I decide to not wear it, it won't be such a loss. I think that when hair and makeup are done for the wedding and the whole final look has come together, that will help make the final decision.

    I have a very light pink cathedral length veil I may wear, I also am wearing a wedding haku with my hair down. I was thinking of pinning the veil under my hair but idk. I’m not going to have a hair trial (destination elopement) so sorta have to figure it out beforehand or leave it up to the stylist
