I will certainly wear a veil. I am really traditional and it is really a romantic part when the groom unveils me at the end of the ceremony for the kiss.

I love veils! They’re so pretty and look stunningly dramatic in photographs. I’m going to wear my Mum’s old veil for my wedding in April :)

I wore a medium-length lace veil that I borrowed from one of my best friends. The detail work on it is gorgeous! A few pics from my photog:

I once heard that men have an emotional trigger to veils. That when their bride wears one they are that much more in tune with the moment and the significance of the day.

I opted to wear one and my wedding and was really glad I did. My husband was so sweet and teary as I walked down the aisle having not seen me until that moment.

I think it could be fun though to do a first look without a veil and then before you walk down the aisle put one on so that it is like he is seeing you for the first time all over again. I could definitely imagine that triggering some emotions. :)

On veils: I worked at a bridal store for a few years and it would always surprise me when ladies wearing “traditional wedding gowns” didn’t want to wear a veil. The first thing I remember playing dress up with is my mom’s old veil. That’s the #1 thing that I think of when I think of old time weddings. The wonderful elegant lace dresses and the petite caps or hats with a long flowing veil. Mantilla veil is not for me but I will have at least an elbow length and at least for the ceremony.

I went back and forth, but when I tried the right one on with my dress there was no question. It went down to just past my waste, matched my antique white dress and was trimmed with 1/2-inch antique whiet satin ribbon. I never wore it over my face but had it tucked under my up-do. My dress wasn’t traditional so it made me feel more like bride on that special day.

I didn’t think I wanted a veil but I’m so glad I wore one. I love the tradition and beauty of them. I wore my sister’s veil which our best friend also wore in her wedding so that’s special for all 3 of us. And you’re right, they look so beautiful in photos.

I had no desire to wear a veil – I think they are beautiful on the brides who do decide to, but I liked the Grey’s Anatomy quote “I don’t want mosquito netting hanging around my face”. Instead I wore a silk flower pinned in my hair and it felt much more me. I don’t like being the center of attentions, so we did aways with a few of the more traditional wedding things to feel a little more normal!

I’m with you, Fawn! I would never wear one. It represents a history of women’s oppression. I can’t get past that no matter how beautiful they might look.

I wore my mother’s dress, so naturally I wore the veil as well. She got married in 1965, so the little pillbox with the fingertip-length veil was perfect with the vintage dress. Both of my aunts had borrowed her veil for their weddings as well, so it was a wonderful family tradition.

I didn’t wear a veil because I wanted a more casual, laid back feel to our wedding (which is extremely difficult to pull off because we had an extremely traditional ceremony in the Catholic Church). Veils are beautiful, just not for me.

Veils are very much reccommended in the shop but they wreak havoc with your hair.

They do scream “I’m a bride!” though. Maybe that’s a good thing?

Originally I wasn’t sure about a veil but when I started trying on dresses, someone was asking about it. They made a good point that it’s just a white dress, but the veil completes the look of a bride. It touched me in a way that I decided to get one. My wedding isn’t for another two months. I’m thinking of switching to a pretty hairpiece for the reception. =)

I wore a beautiful viel with a lace edge and I loved it as much as I loved my dress, if not more. I didn’t feel like a bride until I put a veil on. I could never have worn it over my face though! That would just feel weird! X

I’m definitely going to have a veil – I love the symbolism of the veiled, virginal bride being unveiled by her husband :-) AND I’m planning to knit mine. I have the yarn/thread already. (No, there is no prospective bridegroom anywhere in the picture yet….)

I LOVED my veil, when the lady who worked at the bridal shop put it on my head it made me fall in love with the dress I ended up getting married in, and I wasn’t anticipating wearing a veil at all. It was lace, expensive, and beautiful. I kept it securely in my hair until my husband and I left the reception hall!

I love the long veils – they are beautiful and photography wonderfully! Whimsical but traditional.

Photographing weddings for a living, I say go veil. It makes for some really glamorous pictures. I just did this outdoor ceremony where the light hit the veil in the most magical way. It really took my breath away and the pictures came out so pretty.

Yes, oh yes! A woman’s wedding day is the only time she can wear a veil without looking strange. Why not take advantage of such a beautiful accessory! I wore one, and it didn’t come off until my dress did.

I’m wearing my great-great-great grandmother’s veil, which my mom also wore. The lace was made by nuns during the Civil War!

Ah!! I’m in the midst of this dilemna RIGHT NOW and I’m so lost on what to do!! I’m literally getting married on NYE and haven’t yet decided!

i had a veil, but i got super nervous about missing my cue to walk into the sanctuary & totally forgot to put it up.
as it turns out, some of my favorite photos of the ceremony are seeing my face & the giant grin plastered on it as i walked down the aisle, so i don’t at all regret not putting it down!

They are lovely, but Bridge said it so well: I preferred to enter marriage with my “eyes wide open.” The tradition of the veil makes me really uncomfortable, so I did without.

I plan to wear a big feather fascinator for my wedding next June!! :D

NO veils, no!!! Especially not if it’s an outdoor event – nothing worse than a piece of fabric whipping all around and tugging at your head. Also, why would you want a piece of fabric covering/hiding your face?! It’s time to look around and take in all the wonderful details on that special day.

i had a birdcage veil–i loved the extra ornament in my hair, and because the back of my dress was super dramatic (3-inch-high neck-ruffle!, and 1920’s-style back detailing), i didn’t want to cover it up with a veil.
My favorite part was not having to mess with it at all during photos, the kiss, the ceremony… anything! (i did take it out for the reception)

my inspiration was Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama

I love veils. Especially Juliet caps. I modeled for a designer in NY, here are some picture of me with a very unique Juliet cap. http://www.kelima.com/veils/

I’m Jewish, and there’s a part of the pre-wedding ceremony when the groom veils the bride. It’s a tradition harking back to Jacob, who thought he was marrying Rachel but married Leah instead. So Jewish grooms “make sure” that they have the “right” bride by veiling her themselves.

yes to veils of all kinds! It’s your wedding day – pull out all the stops to make it dreamy and magical and unforgettable. I wore a cathedral length veil and a blusher, which I pushed back once I reached my groom. I’d love to relive my wedding day. It was perfect.

I wore my mother’s veil with blusher for my wedding. I loved being able to wear something of hers (even if it did have a small hole where she caught the veil on fire when blowing out the unity candle at her wedding haha). I had a very simple dress and so I thought the veil complimented things well. I was surprised at how warm that netting would feel over your face though!

I had an open back dress, so wore a veil for the ceremony and took it off for the reception so the dress had more drama! :)

Have to agree that it looks beautiful in pictures!
