I am wearing it, because it's kinda simbolical to me. My wedding is going to be the only ocasion in my life to wear this kind of accessory. Besides I think it's pretty and romantic too.
I am!It's pretty, romantic and yes, the only ocasion in life to wear one.
@peachbaby4008: Mum's do like them. But do what you want to do. Have you tried one on yet? As that'll be the decider.
You do NOT "have to." It is a nice occasion though, since as PP pointed out, when else will you get to wear one? Birdcage veils are much smaller and totally cute, you could try that. Or a cute headpiece. Just something special, for sure!
(I am wearing one, I just haven't found it yet! argh!)
I am not... but my headpiece has alittle piece of netting on it. Compromise? :-)
My mother and I had the same disagreement. I'm just wearing one for the ceremony and then taking it off for the reception though. It seems like a good compromise.
Nope. Not having one.
If you don't want one just simply say "Mum, I'm NOT wearing a veil... end of discussion" and change the topic.
It's your head - don't put anything on it you don't want there!!
I'm not wearing one. I recently decided I wouldn't be wearing any kind of hair accessory, which seems to go against the recent trend of flowers, feathers, and fascinators. But my dress has a ton of detail, and my necklace is going to be fairly eye-catching as well. I decided ultimately that a hairpiece would be too much. I'm just going to have a simple updo.
I am. Try multiple veils on, if you don't like tham don't wear one!
The veil gave me the true *bridal* feeling (strangely enough, the dress didn't give me the feeling, I just knew it was the dress).
I really did not want one at all. I was very adament. Then when I was having a fitting they put one on me- opposite of what I ever could picture even if I did want one, I burst into tears on the spot. I loved it and it made my dress. Try a bunch on at least you never know!
No veil for me!! I am, however, wearing either a sparkly headband or a flower barrette I made the other day. I'll wing it on the day of the wedding (18 days to go!!!).
FMIL really wants me to wear one, my mom is indifferent.
no i am not wearing one, i wore one first time around and i think its a once only thing......i am wearing a flower to the side, maybe with a little bit of net on, not sure yet.
I am not wearing one either! But let me tell you my story, because I can totally relate. Before we were officially engaged, I really didn't want to wear one. I'd already been looking at wedding dress pictures and I noticed that the looks I liked the best usually didn't have a veil. I also have never liked the tradition behind wearing a veil! Why should I pay a ton of money on a dress, hair, and makeup, and then cover it all up???
Anyway, when I went dress shopping everyone kept putting veils on my head. Every store I went to, the lady helping me would put veils on my head. To make things worse, when my MOH was asked if she liked a dress, she would always say, "Put a veil on first, I can't decide if you're not wearing a veil. It just doesn't look like a wedding dress without the veil."
When I bought my dress from David's Bridal, I was put under enormous pressure to buy a veil, and buy it that day to take advantage of a 10% off deal. So I did. And regretted it every day after. I showed it to FI and he didn't like it either. Finally I just went to my mom and said, look, I really don't like veils and I want to try to exchange this for something else. When I was totally honest and straightforward about my feelings, everyone understood. I am now wearing a beautiful hair flower and totally happy with my decision!
Just be honest. This is your wedding and not your mom's. She can't pin you down and force a veil on your head. Do what you want, and I'm sure she will understand in the end!
I wore my mom's veil. It was poofy and huge and awesome.
However, if you don't want one, don't wear one! It's a 100% personal decision.
I am, because I found a simple style that I love and I have to wear it for religious reasons. It sounds like you don't want to, though, so you definitely shouldn't feel pressured! I have been to a lot of weddings recently where the bride didn't wear a veil. I think it's totally up to you!
