To veil or not to veil

View Quoted Comment

Awwwww thank you so much.

Hi Shelley! *psst we're name twins (almost)!!*

I think a veil is all personal preference. I don't want to wear one, and I've never envisioned myself wearing one on my wedding day. Lost of brides change their mind though once they wear one with the dress, so you never know! I think trying a few on while dress shopping is a great way to figure out if it's your style or not!

I'm also getting ready for my secind wedding and I kinda want to do a really narrow veil

For me, when it comes to a veil, I usually decide based off of the dress. There were a couple of dresses that I liked/tried on that I knew didn’t need a veil because the dress was such a statement piece on its own. But for my dress that I’m wearing, I’m still going to wear a cathedral veil because I want to go big or go home! My dress only has lace and no beading, so the veil will compliment it more. I think certain dresses don’t need a veil, but it all depends on how you want to look for your big day!

I hated the idea of one until I tried one on at the store. I haven’t bought one yet, but it made the look “complete” in some weird way. However I’m not 100 percent sure I will buy one. I hate the idea of it being in the way.

View Quoted Comment I agree! I does depend on the dress. The dress may not need a veil. I have a couple in mind that I've found online but not in my city so I'm going to make appts at bridal shops to just try some on and see where it takes me. My fiance wants to go with me and see all the dresses I try on. lol He's a goof but also enjoys shopping with me and seriously thought he would see me in my dress beforehand and I'm like UH, NOPE. Ha

I originally wasn't going to wear a veil to our minimony this summer. I wore a short white dress I found online, not my wedding dress, so I didn't even think about it. My photographer (who was also a friend and also an amazing person) brought her veil from her wedding a few years ago "just in case." I put it on for some pictures and did not take it off. Idk what it was but putting on that veil made me feel so bridal, even though the rest of my attire was fairly "normal." I would suggest trying veils on and seeing how you feel! If you don't feel anything then you probably don't need one. But if you do then you'll know!
