Veil Over Face?

Honestly, you really can do whatever suits you here. You'll find that a lot of people have different traditions when it comes to weddings. You really should do whatever you like best in this case.

If you want to wear one, go for it! I love veils.

Generally the groom is supposed to lift it before the first kiss, I think. If you wanted to be traditional and wear it over your face, that is. Most people don't do that nowadays... personally I loved my veil but wouldn't have wanted it over my face... I worked hard on my makeup and I looked damn good, I didn't want my face covered during the processional and the whole ceremony! LOL.

This is exactly what happened to me. I was like "No way am I wearing a veil. I don't want to." And then while I was trying on dresses my mom was like "Humor me" and she grabbed a veil and threw it on me and I was like *Gasp* and then she grabbed a cathedral length too. She had me in the cathedral length and added the second as a blusher and I just fell in love!

Also, I think the whole Dad lifting the veil thing is absolutely adorable and would love that!

If you want to wear a blusher, I think you definitely should!
I would love to wear one, but I'm weird about my hair going flat.
If I could pull off a blusher, I would join you

There are 2 ways to do it:

1st is like you described the dad lifts the blusher(the part covering your face), plants a kiss then either removes it or flips it back.

2. The more traditional route is for dad to lift the bride’s blusher, give her a kiss and then replace the blusher. The bride wears the blusher for the whole ceremony until the groom pulls it back and they kiss.

There are a lot of people who espouse the view that the blusher is a sign of virginity. That’s antiquated now, think of it more as a sign that you’ve cut yourself off from all other suitors and that you are presenting yourself exclusively for your groom.

I hope that helps. My blusher is a fingertip length on a cathedral veil. They can be sown on, velcroed on and even put on with caps. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses.

I will personally not be wearing a veil over my face.

I got a 2 tier fingertip length veil with beading on both edges. I'm debating whether I want the blusher because I'm with you on wanting to wear it until I get up to the altar, but I'm not sure. I figure I'll just see how I feel about it day of lol.

I have a cathedral veil but do not have the blusher. I think having your dad lift it would be really cute! No idea if this is a thing but if I were a guest it would seem like him giving you a blessing and almost revealing you to your groom. I say go for it!

Like others have suggested, do whatever is right for you ☺️ My plan is to walk down the aisle with the blusher and have my father lift the veil back once we reach the end of the aisle and my father gives me away. So, I don’t plan on having my face covered during vows and ring exchanges.

The last wedding I went to the bride wore a bluster and her father lifted it back and kissed her. Her face was uncovered for the ceremony. I thought it was so sweet. Go for it if that's what you want.

I wore a blusher and H lifted it at the beginning of the ceremony (we lost my Dad 6 years before the wedding, and it felt weird to have my brother pull it up), so I wore it down the aisle, but not for the whole ceremony.

I’m wearing a cathedral veil but not with a blusher. I wasn’t a fan of having a blusher over my face (FH also doesn’t like that). Most people don’t do it anymore, but I’ve seen some people on Four Weddings still do it. You can if you’d like! The groom would lift it off for the kiss.

Yes is old fashion but I still see it at weddings. Like you said is your wedding and you can do what makes you happy. As far as how is done is really up to you. Different cultures do it differently so I say you make it your own. Dad can kiss you and put it to the back or leave it for fiancé to do this himself. Doesn’t have to be until after the vows either. They have an unveiling ceremony so it can be after this so he can see you for a bigger part of the ceremony. Make it all your own!
