Re: Wearing your veil at the Reception??

I'm doing it! This is my ONE and ONLY time in my life to be a bride.... I want to feel like one all day long with the veil.

I wore it the whole time and loved it. Yes, it was a little annoying with people hugging me and tugging on it, but it stayed in. My veil was not removable, it came with the headpiece.

My cousin wore her veil the whole night and I plan on doing the same. Otherwise you might blend in with the crowd, the bride should stand out the whole night. FH and I went to his friends wedding and the bride took off her veil immediately and she wore her hair down and she just looked too plain. I really like the look of the the veil and I would want to wear mine the whole night.

I disgaree with the comment about not standing out. I took off my veil after the ceremony and still stodd out. It's not like anyone else at the reception had a big poufy ivory dress and tiara.

I've seen several brides leave their veils on. I took mine off b/c my veil covered my hair and there was no point in paying $ to get my hair done if no one was going to see it. I also preferred the look w/o the veil. You should do what makes you comfortable.

Exactly whatever makes you comfortable and whatever your preference is. I just wouldn't called it weird if a bride left there's on.

Mine is a cathedral length, so it's coming off for the reception. I'm pretty sure I'll stand out in my big white gown without the veil.

BTW has anyone ever been to a reception where the bride wore her veil at reception.
If you did, did you think it was weird???

I really , really want to do this, but I have never seen it done.

I actually wore mine the whole night.. i have always wanted to and so did I did..
The only time it actually cam eoff my head was when I was jumping around to the song jump around..
I felt like a princess w/ it on.. and I do not care if anyone thought it looked silly. I loved it..

Re: Wearing your veil at the Reception??

I'm keeping mine on for a few hours during the reception, then will probably take it off. Only because I love the back of my dress and I want to show it off!!!!
