Veil??? Are you wearing one?

[CRUISIN' BRIDE]

I am not a girly girl( I try but was raised by my dad so you see where my problem lies) anyway I am trying to decide if I want to wear a veil or just a tiarra.

 

What do you think??

Hi* I'm wearing a tiera AND a veil. I think it is just personal preference. Or, if you are like me, when you are in the bridal shoppe & try on a veil just to see how it looks and everyone in the room gets teary-eyed, you discover you have no choice but to wear a veil!!! At 1st I didn't want to wear one due to worries of it blowing around in the beach wind, but others have convinced me to go with one. Their reasons ranged from "You are a bride and all brides should wear a veil" to "You'll have the tiera to keep the veil from blowing in your face" to "You are doing everything so non-traditional already with your wedding, the least you can do to make your Mom happy is to let her see her only daughter in a veil like a traditional bride would wear!" (yes, the last reason was spoken by my dear Mom - but I love her to pieces so it really is the LEAST I can do for her!!!!). Try some on with your dress just for kicks. Nothing says I'M A BRIDE more than a veil but again, I think it's all about preference these days. Good luck! Kim

At first I was anti-veil and all about having a tiera!:) My mom kept after me and while trying on my dress for the first time w/her at David's she said, "That's the one! Now just humor me and try it with a veil". I tried on that veil and it was all over! It totally made me feel like a bride and truely completed the whole look! I ended up opting for only the veil and no tiera at all!:D

I opted for just a tiara and I am happy I did. Whatever makes you feel pretty! I had a glacier wedding and I was already wearing a dress, long johns, boots:D a cape and gloves so a veil just seemed like overkill!

I was on the fence about wearing a veil but when I tried mine on with my dress, it completed the look I wanted. My tiara looked a little lonely on my head, especially with my hair down. I'm still not 100% decided about keeping part of my hair down or not, but the tiara seemed to get lost in all my hair! :)

 

I was worried about the veil blowing everywhere, but the veil I chose has beading around the edges that matches my gown. The beads keep it pretty steady.

 

I don't think there is a 'rule' to whether you need one or not. It's all in your preference!

It will be a last minute decision, I am thinking no veil but my mom wants me to wear one. I want my hair swept to the side with a flower. I don't think that it would look right with a veil but we'll see

I am wearing a veil (not wearing blusher) and tiara!

I'm not wearing a veil or a tiara. I'm still debating on hair up or down. You need to go with what you are comfortable wearing.

I wore both a veil and tiara with my dress it made the look more put together.

My daughter is not wearing a veil...she will wear her hair up with an antique looking comb...at least that is what I have been told. I saw her in the wedding gown a couple weeks ago and she looked stunning. July 29th is getting here pretty quick.

Both are lovely. I'm an older bride with children older than many brides here, and in my case am opting for a tiara with my gown. If this were my first marriage, though, I think I would go for the veil!

[Crown08]

No veil here. I want to find something sparkly for my hair.. maybe a tiara. I want to be married on deck *cross fingers for good weather* and I know it will probably be too windy.

 

Also, I'm not really into the "traditional" wedding and I think this might push it over the edge towards traditional.

I wore a silk flower in my hair for our wedding.

 

Word of the wise if you wear a veil: Have a backup plan in case it is windy. We watched a wedding onboard where the bride had a veil and it blew around and was a distraction the entire ceremony. The groom finally had enough and had to hold it down for her.

NYgirl where did you find your flower? For the dress and hairstyle I am thinking about I think a beautiful flower with maybe some sparkle to it would look really nice.

I wore a long veil on my wedding day and it was sooo windy that it kept blowing around the minister.The wind was also blowing so hard that I thought it was going to fly right off my head and into the Caribbean. I love the look but consider getting a cheap short veil so if it is too windy to wear you wont have a lot invested.

 

Best of Luck

Beth- I got mine from flowerclip.com

If you google "silk hair flowers" you will get a bunch of sites with flowers ranging from $10-100. I found that Flowerclip had the best prices, and I was happy with what I got.

I'm opting not to wear a tiara or a veil. I think they both look nice, I'm just not very traditional, that's all! :D
