I didn't wear a veil...I think I looked bridal :)
I think you look gorgeous. Do you want to wear a veil? I didn't wear one for many reasons, so I just decided not to.
It's a personal decision!!
It's so perfect for you. I love the flower, it's like it was made for your dress. Gorgeous! :) I think not having a veil will be just as beautiful--just wearing a white dress says "bridal" to me.
Yep, you look plenty bridal! My best friend wore a rhinestone headband because she said that veils looked funny on her. Another friend of mine wore a flower accessory and looked perfectly bridal.
Thanks ladies :) Personally, I would love to wear a veil but A.) When I tried on all kinds of veils with my dress, I liked how it looked without one, and B.) I can't find one that I like! I've even tried making a small birdcage to wear with the flower headband I have and I just don't like it. The headband I have looks quite like the flower above, just on a double headband lol
Like you, I have an all lace gown and will be wearing only a hair flower. It isn't about what you do or do not wear; it's the smile on your face and the way your groom looks at you that makes.you a bride.
I'm wearing a flower too! Where did you buy yours? I love it!
@Keisha_In _Love: thanks! but it's not actually the one that I got to wear. That flower you can find at Davids bridal, its somewhere around $90, and I thought that was a little steep for a flower. lol
I'm not a veil person either (and currently trying not to be furious with my MOH and mom for talking me into buying a traditional veil!!) but one thing you might consider if you are worried you won't look bridal enough is adding a bit of french or russian netting (like birdcages are made of) around your flower. Just a bit!! Here is an example:
that being said I think that yes, you will still be bridal :-)
@heyitssamyrae: Well nobody else will be wearing a stunning white gown like you so its obvious you're the bride. And if you stick with the flower, Alfred Angelo has one's that are beautiful and are about $50. Still crazy, but better than $90!
But personally--I considered only wearing a flower but decided against it. I would have regretted not wearing a veil. I chose a raw edged one tier chapel veil. Very bridal and you can still see the back of my dress. Have you tried on any lace edged mantilla veils? That would look gorgeous with your dress, and would be sheer in the back. You could wear it further back on your head so it doesn't overwhelm your face. Just a thought :)
I'm not wearing anything on my head. I am working hard on growing my hair out and keeping it nice so I can have it down! I won't cover it up!
That being said, I think not having a veil is modern look that allows you to look like yourself on you wedding day. Go for it!
@heyitssamyrae: You look gorgeous and definitely look like a bride! Love the back of the dress on you.
There are tutorials on here how to make flowers like that and you can also buy one on etsy or ebay for way cheaper.

If you're going sans veil, that's your choice. I'll probably look for a veil myself, but for all I know, I might do something different. (Before I had any marriage prospects at all, I had envisioned myself having my hair braided or otherwise fully pulled back with some sort of veil, as I had become used to wearing my hair fully pulled back for a long time. However, my now fiance has at various times seen my hair down at times when I didn't especially mean for it to be down, but he has nonethless told me how much he likes seeing me down, so I know I'm at least going to try for a hairstyle that involves my hair at least partly down but somehow accesorized. I don't like having what my sister and I both grew up referring to as "plain" hair, which is loose without any kind of hair accessories, such as barrettes, ponytail holders, headbands, etc.)
When my sister got married to the later-to-be father of her first child (whom she is no longer with), she wore a daisy wreath in lieu of a veil.
A cousin (my oldest male one) on my dad's side of the family got married back in July. I was unable to attend the wedding, but what I saw of the pictures, the bride had opted against having a veil and instead simply wore her hair down with maybe a barrette or two that blended with her hair.
When my mom married my now stepdad in 2001, she had originally planned on wearing her hair in a French braid with some flowers in it, but when she was getting ready on the morning of her wedding, her hair wouldn't do what she wanted it to do, so she simply wore it down and left it at that. (And her "wedding dress" at the time was actually a regular denim dress with a floral neckline.)
In closing, all I have to say, veil or no, to each her own.
I kind of don't want one either, even though everyone says I should. And I wouldn't want to cover up that back on your dress!
I didn't wear a veil.My mom was totally deadset on me wearing one at firs,t but she was at the store with me trying them on, and once she saw how ambivalent I was about wearing one and that I just looked happier without it, luckily she was able to let it go. I definitely still looked like a bride!
I will not wear a veil, and i don't think it will stop me from being "Bridal", if you don't feel like wearing the veil, then don't wear it, you will look bridal as well!
You don't look like anything but a bride in that dress! Pretty sure you'll look plenty bridal without a veil. :)
With or without the veil, it won't make any different. You're still the bride !

Sorry, there are no users yet.
No tradtional veil.
No birdcage veil.
Just a flower. Will this look formal/bridal enough? Here is a pic to show you how it looks.
I think I'm just worrying too much lol But I just want to make sure that I'm "out there" enough I suppose? haha
