Veil or No Veil

What is now a gorgeous accessory once started out as an Ancient Roman attempt to ward off evil spirits. I'm glad that symbolism is gone and we can now focus on how they enhance your overall wedding day look! Many brides still love the classic look of a veil but some are choosing to go with a more modern style or even no veil at all. Let's go over the do's and don't's, the why's and why not's.

Why you may want to skip the veil:

Not the best look for your wedding day. If you're thinking about getting married outside you may want to consider an alternative for your hair accessory. A birdcage or beaded accessory may be a little less formal but odds are it would fit better with your outside venue.
If you're sure you want the look of the veil but are going to be uncomfortable wearing it, try wearing it for just your pictures. 





Why you may want the veil:
It's been said that the number one thing your husband will remember about your wedding day attire is your veil. If you're like most women, you're not wearing a veil on a regular basis so this is something different and unique and adds to the special feeling of your wedding day wardrobe.
If that's what you want for your wedding then let me give you a few of the many possibilities..

1. Keep it classy like Kate in a traditional long veil

2. Make it modern in a birdcage veil

3. Let loose with a layered veil

There are many options out there so don't be afraid to choose what you like best. This is a great way to show your personality and tie your wardrobe to the overall style. Wear it the whole time, part of the time, or not at all. 

Until next time, happy planning!
