    I think it's totally OK! You get to decide what you wear regardless of whether it's your first marriage or fifth marriage, there aren't any rules for attire.

    If that's what you want to do then go for it, you can do whatever you want for your wedding!

    I don't think it's his call to make. It's yours.

    Personally I think it's weird to put a veil over your face, it's a little misogynist and antiquated. Also, why you would spend 2 hours getting hair and makeup done just to cover it up is beyond me (listen to comedian Iliza's sketch on this!)

    If YOU really want to because it's important to YOU, then do it. Don't do it if it makes you uncomfortable, if you don't want to in any way, don't.

    Wear whatever you want! (Same goes for wearing white.) A veil completes the outfit and you'll look great!

    If you want to wear a blusher, then wear one. If you have no strong feelings and he likes the idea, then wear one. If you don't want to wear one, then don't wear one. It's all up to you and what you want. Smiley smile

    FWIW, the blusher literally covers your face until you reach the end of the aisle, and most blushers you're going to find are made of a single piece of tulle, so it doesn't really cover up your hair and make up.

    Obviously, this is with the blusher down:

    If someone's judging you they should mind their business

    I agree with Alyssa that it's definitely your call to make, and there aren't any rules - if you want to wear one - do! If you don't, don't!

    Someone I know's husband doesn't like veils and didn't want her to wear one. He thought the over the face part especially is 'creepy'. For my part, I was baffled and surprised that he had such a strong opinion on it. But the bride wanted one, bought one, and then spent the whole morning asking everyone - photographer, hair woman, makeup lady, bridesmaids - bellhop at the hotel, probably! if she should wear it or not. She ended up not wearing it, not even for a few photos at the hotel before leaving.

    I actually want to wear a veil, and felt I need to give my perspective on the fact it's 'covering' the makeup thing! Firstly, I like the idea that the first person who sees my whole face and look on the day (once we reach the ceremony of course, my family will see my made up face before we leave, lol) is my husband to be rather than him being the LAST to see me on the day. And secondly, rather than anything misogynistic, to me it's like that BAM BABY! Moment where you dramatically fling off your veil and reveal to your future husband how lucky he is...? LOL! like damn this woman looks incredible, and I get to marry her! Everyone gasps, doves appear, a spontaneous round of applause breaks out... haha!

    I definitely think it can be a very dramatic and romantic moment.

    That said - wearing or not wearing a veil is absolutely, 100% the bride's choice, and no one should be judged for what option they choose.
