Nope. I want to be able to see all my guests and my FI smiling at me as I walk down the aisle!

I had a two tiered veil (blusher and chapel length) and I wore the blusher in front as I walked down the aisle, then my dad flipped it back when he "dropped me off" at the front. I am really happy I did it this way because it just seemed so romantic to me, and I loved the way it looked! (But keep in mind I had a very traditional church wedding... it might not strike the right tone in another setting...) And I had no trouble seeing through my blusher veil.

No flip, guess I didn't have that option since I wore a mantilla veil.
But I can imagine that the veil could obstruct your view.
I'm actually debating this now. I went from thinking I probably wouldn't have a veil to falling in love with the shoulder-length circle style. I think it looks really pretty having it down over my face, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the whole flipping-when-we-get-to-the-end-of-the-aisle thing. Both my mom and my dad will be walking me so maybe it would be ok in that case, not so traditional. Otherwise I'll probably just get some pictures with it down.
Of course, this is completely putting the cart before the horse since I haven't even found my dress yet...
I'm definitely doing this. My veil is a drop veil, and looks so good over my face. And, I can actually see ok through it.
Seems like it's a tradition that some people are def still into ... I think I am going to be using my mothers veil and it's mantilla so I don't think I'll be able to.
It would drive me crazy to have something over my face! So...uh...I guess that's a no. :)

nope! we're doing a first look beforehand anyway so i think it'd be kind of silly to do it during the ceremony =). i think it would be a lovely touch if you were seeing your husband for the first time walking down the aisle! the moment he flips the veil over could be quite magical!
i'm definitely having a blusher..very romantic and traditional i think!
I had a blusher to flip over my face. I did it and it was awesome. It felt so amazing! My veil was very sheer and I had no problems whatsoever seeing my guests or my way down the aisle. i say try it out before you walk down the aisle to check your vision.
Eeeeek! I never thought about not being able to see through the blusher!!!!!
I am planning on doing it... I guess once I get my veil, I'll have to try it on and really focus on how hard it is to see through it.
I won't be doing the flip, but when I told my dad this he looked like I just broke his heart! I'm feeling a little guilty about it actually!
I'm not doing the veil flip, but my FI and FMIL think it's the definition of "bridal." I think they're a little disapointed, but I want to have my eyes clearly set on my groom as I walk down the aisle!
Definately! I can't wait! I think it's super romantic and they make such sheer blushers so I'm not worried about the not seeing thing. Plus I've seen the most beautiful photos of girls with a blusher on walking down the aisle! Love it!!
My FI is actually terrified of veils (too many horror movies...) and I can't stand having things in my face, so my veil will just be down my back.
I'm not doing the "veil flip"...I want to see and be seen!

I haven't decided yet! I'm walking down the aisle by myself, so I guess the flip would have to wait until "you may kiss the bride" but I want to be able to really see my fiance when we say our vows.
Like caitlanc I'll probably just get pictures with it down but not actually wear it that way down the aisle.
As long as you feel you can see well enough and you want to do the flip, go for it!

Nope. I'm an encore bride and also would worry that I might stumble if I had something over my face. Plus it would mess up the hairstyle I want! Not flipping anything on the big day here! T said it makes guys worried because they think they won't do that right either.
Nope. . no unveiling here. . i'm clumsy as it is. . .i dont need my vision to be slightly obstruccted(sp?) Besides i got the most PERFECT elbow length veil w/o a blusher

I'm not sure what the right phrase is -- but do you plan to walk down the aisle with your veil in front of you and have your father/huband to be "flip" it? I'm not sure I want to do this because I want to be able to see everyone!! My friend did it last summer and she said it was her one regret because she really couldnt see through her veil very well and was concentrating on not tripping because she couldnt see!
