Just curious if any recent brides have tips for managing cathedral length veils. I am excited for the pictures and the look, but not so excited for keeping it out of guests during the receiving line, etc. What's the best way to deal with that?
I haven't thought about this... I'll probably give my Maid of Honor the job of keeping it tamed lol
I just saw a company that sells veil weights so it doesn't fly around. I don't remember the website you can try googling it.
I had a cathedral length veil and I actually bustled it for the reception-which I never even knew could be done! My goal was to wear my veil the entire day because how often do you wear a veil. Plus, it is so freaking expensive to just wear it for the ceremony. And, it worked perfectly! I wore it for 12 hours straight!
Wow that's impressive. Did it annoy you at all? Who did the bustling and was it difficult to do?

The seamstress just added a button to the top of the comb and a teeny tiny loop on the veil that was not noticeable at all and then my bridal attendant just looped it around the button and that was it!

This is wonderful! I'm doing this pleated veil creation and I am now thinking about how I can bustle it. Thanks fornthenidea!
My friend just held hers over her arm. I'm going to bustle mine. You can take a flower pin and pin it right into the clip on top.
Im going to only wear it for the ceremony and pictures. I have a shorter veil for the reception.
I wore mine for the ceremony, pictures and part of the reception. I changed my dress half way through the reception.
