Black Veil - Opinions?

Wish i could see it on you and esp with the dress but hey, rock it all! i really think you can carry it off!

trust me, they will live

i cannot wait to see those photos!

So, this is kind of funny. We both are wearing black sashes, black shoes, with brooch bouquets, and I have a black veil. My concern that is showing up oh, 20 days before my wedding, is that I might look more like a girl going to prom than a bride. Here's a pic of me in my gown with the davids bridal veil. And then my veil on the model, no cat ears for me though!

I honestly think his family would find the spiders more offensive than the black veil, but some people are really weird and think brides should only be in white, when traditionally they wore color and in some cultures they still do!

Oh hb i love it! no you don't look prommie, you are very bridey!

there you go annie great minds think alike

At first I was thinking it would be too black for the dress... even with a black sash. I am so glad halloweenbride showed her picture! It looks really nice. Go for it!

I love it! The only problem I could foresee is your older/super traditional guests thinking it's a bit funereal. BUT it's your day and I think it will look awesome

I think it looks pretty and should complement your dress perfectly. I have to confess though, when I read the title of your post, I pictured those long black veils that widows used to wear at funerals. That might not have been such a good look.

Halloweenbride I believe you have the same dress as me

Anniebell, I don't see anything wrong with the black veil. I think it is very unique, and if you love it, who cares what anyone else may think. It is your wedding not theirs. I understand you may not want to hurt you FH family but can't they just deal with it for one day?

I think it's great And even better if it shows who you are.

I think it would look lovely!

It sounds glamorous but to me an all-black veil makes me think of a funeral. I'm not saying it wouldn't be beautiful, but it might make some guests wonder how you really feel about the wedding! What if you did the mesh part black but the lace attached to the comb white? Or vice versa?

It's not my style, and kind of reminds me of women in mourning, BUT, it is YOUR wedding. Your October wedding to be exact, so I think it will be fine.

Also, after seeing HalloweenBride's photo, I realized that the black veil can still look very bridal.

I love it...I might just steal ur idea. I think you should be you and do what your heart desires.

I'm also doing a black sash with my dress and I think the black veil would look beautiful. I think because its short it works, if it was maybe a Cathedral veil that might be a little much.

I think it looks great!

Beautiful. I think black and white weddings are gorgeous! And hey girl, it's your day! You wanna rock a black veil, go for it! It looks phenomenal!

Ok, my family is insanely traditional and would flip out completely if i did something like that. BUT...i personally think that it's beautiful. i wasn't sure when i first started reading it, but after seeing pics, I LOVE IT! i say go for it! don't have any regrets...just do it!

I say go for it.

I really like it, and I think you did a great job re-creating that veil in black! Just don't tell his family that you are wearing a black veil. Let them find out when you walk down the aisle. This way you don't have to deal with it if they don't like the idea

I really dislike the colored veil trend - personal style - black veils remind me of people going in to mourning which is the exact opposite of a wedding.

It is your day, but sometimes you need to make small concession to make other people happy, even on your wedding. However saying that, it is a small birdcage and so I'm not sure it will be as big of a deal as your FH thinks. What about doing a compromise and having a white veil for your march down the aisle and then change in to the black bird cage for the reception? Just an option.

I'd wear it for the reception.
