I did not wear blusher over my face. I wanted to wear a blusher but was worried that it would obscure my face in the pictures. Also when I tried it on, it kinda of mashed my hair against my forehead and didn't look good.
I love the look but you need a really shear veil and also have your hair completely swept back on front for it to look good.
i'm not wearing a veil over my face. i think drop veils are gorgeous actually and if i was having a more formal wedding, i'd consider it. but it's not appropriate for what we're having (no church, non-religious ceremony)
i think with certain dresses the veil over face is stunning but you say you dont want to wear it that way so i vote no.... its your wedding day not your stepmum
I'm not doing it, but a cousin did this summer and it was quite beautiful. Having said that, the tradition doesn't have much relevance to me. You don't seem keen on it - do what makes you happy!
i'm jewish, and we are doing the bekedin (uncovering of the veil) after the ketubah signing which is before the ceremony, so i'll already have my veil off of my face for the walk. i think you should do it however you like it.
i say no, if you dont want it. i dont want to wear a veil at all (i dont feel like its me.) but we shall see if my attitude changes once i actually start the dress shopping phase.
i just ordered a veil so i could wear it in front of my face, haha.
Ehhh this is definitely not a tradition I am going to be adhering to. I'm actually going to wear a hair flower instead of a veil at all!
So, I had this conversation at the beginning of the summer with my fiance'. I didn't think anyone did this anymore either. But then I went to 3 weddings this summer - and 2/3 of the brides had blushers. Ha!
I say do what you feel comfortable with. I think I want an unobstructed view of everything when I'm walking down the aisle, so I'll do a veil (not over my face) for the ceremony and a hair flower for the reception. But to each his (or her) own!
I think you should do whatever YOU want!! - I know I want a veli but I still have no idea what kind or how I'll use it, I know I'll wear my flower and that's it for now :)
Well, at first I didnt know for sure if I wanted a veil. I wanted a flower for sure, and no tiara. But then I tried on a tiara and had to have it... and the veil too lol So once I got the veil, I didn't want it over my face, and even with my hair trial I said "no, not over the face, so put it underneath my hair." But then, I tried on the dress with the veil. And, for the heck of it, I put it over my face. I was sold. I had to do it for walking down the isle. Just try it both ways when you have your dress on one day, and do whatever you'd like! Neither way is wrong, and I don't think it's really outdated, it's just not mandatory anymore.
Do whatever you want - people won't care either way (except maybe your mom :-)). I was thinking about a blusher, but I didn't like the way it obscured my face and made little fabric folds over it. Also, I was warned by the ladies at the bridal salon that men need practice moving blushers and that they often fold them all up in strange ways at the altar. They also said to warn men not to yank on the veil (blusher or no blusher) when kissing the bride since they tend to pull :-).
I think it depends on religion now-a-days, and of course whether you want to or not.
I wasn't going to wear a veil at all but my mom insisted. Luckily I found a veil that I absolutely love so, win-win.
I'm not doing the veil over the face because one...I need to have the clearest vision possible so I don't trip, and two I want my fiance to be able to see my face. :)
Do whatever you want- it's YOUR day! :) Personally, I AM wearing a blusher over my face as I walk down the aisle. I love it and feel like a bride with it on! Plus it's totally sheer and I like the drama of it!
whenever i get engaged the first picture is the one that sold me and m... (i originally loved the birdcage veils and will still wear one for the reception)....
I wore mine over my face as I walked down the aisle. Definitely no face obstruction, I thought it was really pretty!
I'm not wearing one. I tried one on with my dress and felt a little ridiculous. It just wasn't me. If you wanted to, I would say go for it. But if you don't want to, don't do it.
i am not wearing one over my face... because i am rediculously claustrophobic! the lady that was helping me when i was trying on dresses put one on me before i could warn her and i full on freaked out and broke into tears, laughed it off of course. but that is how bad it is! my heart starts racing and i panic.
dont think we need a bride panicing down the aisle because of that! lol!
i do love the look if you can handle it. there are many different religious traditions with veils, especially ones covering the face... roman time the girls wore flame coloured veild to protenct from "Evil spirits", sometimes a bride was forced to wear a veil over her face because the groom was not allowed to see his bride (in case he didnt like the look of her when he did see her it was too late they were married), all sorts of cool stuff when you look it up.
I voted yes , only because I wore a birdcage veil. I think it depends on how YOU feel.
my mom really really wanted me to have a blusher. BUT, I wanted clear pictures of my face at my ceremony! Not me with a tulle window on front of my face. Plus I totally would have gotten makeup all over it. I really just wanted my face clear and didn't like how blushers looked on me, although they look LOVELY in those brides above. Maybe if you go with quality, thin tulle it's one thing...the ones I tried on really covered me up big time tho
I've spoken with a couple married friends who said they wished they hadn't because in their pictures they just look like big, white blobs walking down the aisle...one girl refers to herself as "the ghost."
What if you did just posed pictures of you in it? Like, looking out the window, etc? Or a staged shot of him lifting it up, if it's *that* important to your mom or whoever?
I just talked to my photographer, and this is our veil plan...
Before the ceremony, we will do a first look - there, I have my birdcage veil.
Ceremony - 2-tier cut-edge veil, one layer over my face until the end of the ceremony.
Reception - switch back to birdcage.
This might sound silly, but I really wanted both and my photographer is awesome for helping me with this! =D
I'm not wearing a veil over my face. I tried it on like that, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Plus, it looked weird.
I think it's whatever you feel most comfortable with. Mrs. Glitter wrote a post on this topic because she wanted to wear one.
I want my and my FI's first look to be completely unobstructed. I think he'd actually be mad if I put anything over my face!
My sister wore a blusher, and my mom and her are like "WHY dont you want one? you Have to have one!!"
But I am not, and I wont. I don't like having things in my face and I can just see myself fighting with it. I told my sister that our dad got to have the blusher experience with her and so therefore I dont need to have that tradition. 
I wore my blusher down and I loved it! It made me feel very *bridal.* I didn't put it down the rest of the day (no pictures). And I didn't want it down thoughout the entire ceremony. I think brides used to keep it down until the officiant said "You can kiss the bride" and then the groom would lift it.
I didn't want that, so I just had it down during my walk down the aisle, and then I had my dad lift it and put it over my head to kiss me on my cheek. And then I left it back the entire ceremony.
I wore my blusher over my face down the aisle and it was AWESOME. As BeachBrideT said, it made me feel really bridal. Like she did, I had my dad lift it at the end of the aisle, so I had my face clear for the whole ceremony. So it was over my face for like, 1 minute of my life, but man, was that minute awesome.
I did it because I wanted to be part of that tradition, and it felt very thrilling to do it. There's more to your wedding than photographs. And actually the pics of my veil over my face do not obscure my face much at all because the veil is so sheer. And besides, you can flip it back right away after the walk down the aisle.
Try it out beforehand and see how you feel!

My stepmother really wants me to wear a veil over my face, but I don't because I think that no one does that any more. What do you think, fellow bees- is this tradition a thing of the past or does it still have some relevance today?
