While we don't exactly wear veils to ward off evil spirits anymore, they are still a traditional part of a bride's wedding day look! Are you wearing a veil on your wedding day? Ditching the veil entirely? Or are you wearing something else like a flower crown or jeweled comb atop your tresses? Are...

Are you ditching or saying "I do" to wearing a veil?

Ditching!
I love the look of just having my hair up (or down.)

I won’t be wearing a veil! I’ll be getting married back home in Hawaii and if I’ll be spending a bunch of money on hair and flowers I won’t cover it with a veil.

If I wear veil I want it to be cathedral, but more than likely I'm doing a headpiece.

Still unsure about this one! I didn't think I wanted to at first, but now I'm thinking it's the only opportunity I'll have.

I bought a veil but I haven't had my hair trial yet so I'm not sure if I will wear it or not.

I love cathedral veils so I'm definitely doing it! I'll probably take it off for the reception though. And my mom is making it which is special and I don't have to spend a ton of money on it.

I was on a debate over veil or tiara for the past year. At first I was SURE I was going to do both, then after reading a lot of forums here about tiaras (and all the negativity about them) I told myself, "Tiaras are for princesses and beauty pageant winners" and focused on getting a veil. It really did make me kind of sad. But I just didn't like how they looked on me. I tried long veils, short ones, colorful ones.... So now I had a veil, combs, flowers, hair crystals, you name it. And last week I finally bought a tiara and I LOVED it!!! So tiara it is. I'm still bringing the veil and everything else with me in case I change my mind day of, but for now it's NO veil and YES tiara. All the grief I gave myself over the last year, convincing myself I couldn't have a tiara and now it's the only thing I can think about. I can't wait for this wedding to be over already.

Ditch! One less thing to stress about. I'm going to have a clip or hair piece though.
