    During photos before the ceremony and during the ceremony I know are a must but what about pictures after the ceremony? And the reception? What are you ladies doing?

    I am wearing mine the whole night, but I think I am the exception.  My girlfriend is my hairdresser and is going to pin mine up bubble style, which will match my 50's inspired reception dress.  I really wanted to find a way to wear it all night and she did a wonderful job at showing me how she will do it.

    Most people seem to take them off once the reception begins. That's why I don't really see the need to spend a fortune on one ~ you don't have it on long enough to justify some of the high price tags!

    @Tswife4ever: interesting question. Never really thought about it. If it was me I think photos and right after the ceremony? but come dancing time I would want it off Im afraid

    I only wore mine for the ceremony. I took it off for cocktails and the reception.

    I am not sure yet how long I will wear mine. I will probably keep it on until after we do our first dance.

    I bought a plain one and am only wearing it for the ceremony. I am going to do a funky feather for the reception

    How long do you wear the veil for? :  wedding Audrey Hepburn Veil This is similar to what my veil will look like for the reception.  Just alittle shorter.

    Ok so maybe I will take it off at the reception then. Are you ladies keeping it on for the first dance?

    I didn't wear mine after the pictures between the ceremony and reception.

    @noritake22: That's a good idea. I never thought of keeping it on just for the first dance. I may do that, thanks! :)

    I got married on Saturday and I wore my cathedral length veil all day.  My hairdresser stuck it in so well I couldn't take it out without wrecking my hair!  I ended up tying it in a knot so it didn't get stood on although it got ripped pretty much after our ceremony anyways!

    I also have a Cathedral veil and think i'll definetly keep it on until we eat, if I can i'd like to perhaps keep it on until our first dance.
