Is anyone not wearing a veil or tiara?

P.S. I haven't even gotten my gown yet, but I never saw myself in a veil. I think I'd like my hair up, or half up and half down, with some flowers in my hair. Having outdoor wedding at Giorgio's.

What do you think? Is this too unconventional?

Re: Is anyone not wearing a veil or tiara?

I think no veil with flowers in your hair would look good, you're not the first bride to do that and I always think it looks so classy and romantic. Do what you want, it's your big day !!!!!

Re: Is anyone not wearing a veil or tiara?

i was thinking of doing that too - until I tried on my dress and they put a veil on me. I had never really thought of myself as a veil person (even FH said - 'you're gonna wear one of those things!?!' in disbelief), but it really did complete the look. I'm not doing a tiara though - that is just too too much for me!

i do LOVE the look of orchids in hair though. very romantic :)

i am going for the orchid in the hair/no veil look - when i picture it in my head it looks great.

mind you i have no dress, nor have i tried one on -but im 95% sure i will be sans veil and 1000% on no tiara.

ETA - pics. the first one I LOVE. I plan on stealing that look. Love her dress too. Hope she doesn't mind me posting it, who ever she is!

Me too - I thought for sure I'd be a flowers in the hair bride and not a veil bride - but once I saw it on, I knew I had to have it, and a very long one too. It was very surprising to me. You should give it a shot, but again, orchids are gorgeous too! You can't go wrong either way.

i was very anti-veil - until they slapped one on my head when I had my dress on at the salon. I'm getting a cathedral length and it coming off after the ceremony (much to the chagrin of my mother). Also to the chagrin of my mother, there will be NO tiara. I think I might switch the veil for a flower with a low bun.

Do what you like and feel comfortable with.

I'm a softie for tradition - veil and headpiece, here I come!!

Re: Is anyone not wearing a veil or tiara?

I tried on 4-5 different veils with my dress and didn't like the way any of them looked. I keep looking at those Tacori crystal star looking flowers and thinking - those would look great. Unfortunately the price is outrageous - $360 for 6 of them.
