Re: Veil during reception

Keeping it on the entire night. My feeling is.. you are only a bride once in your lifetime..you'll only get to wear it once.....why not relish it and keep it on all night....

Re: Veil during reception

Right now I'm thinking the whole night..but I might take it off towards the end of the night.

Re: Veil during reception

I only wore mine during my ceremony, but I also had a cathedral length veil....pretty difficult to maneuver while you're dancing. I could have gotten a fingertip, but I wanted to be veil free at the reception. Do whatever you like.

Re: Veil during reception

I took mine off and put in a hair piece after cocktail hour. I didn't want to wory about leaving it on while dancing and hugging people.

Re: Veil during reception

I took the cathedral off after the ceremony.
Half way during the reception, I took off the fingertip. I got tired of it catching when people hugged me or danced with me.
I do regret not putting it back on when we took some later pictures outdoors when the sun finally came out. Completely forgot about it.

Re: Veil during reception

I hadf planned on wearing mine for longer but it kept getting stuck to the beading in my dress. It was pulling on my hair so i couldnt . I took it off right after the cocktail hour.

Re: Veil during reception

I am keeping it on b/c I look at it that i will never get to wear a veil again, so why not wear it the whole night!

Re: Veil during reception

planning on taking it off, but maybe after the first dance since mine isnt long.

Re: Veil during reception

I plan on taking it off right after our first dance...I was on the fence about wearing one at all so this was a good compromise for me.

Re: Veil during reception

I am thinking I will leave it on all night. I have decided to get a silk chiffon / organza veil instead of a tulle one - they lay straighter and I would think won't get stuck on anything, etc. So as long as the comb isn't bothering me, etc, I will leave it on.

Re: Veil during reception

I think I am planning on taking mine off during the reception. I have a fingertip length veil.

Re: Veil during reception

i wore mine the whole time- it was high in the back so it didnt bother me.

Re: Veil during reception

i kept mine on all night and looking back i'm glad I did. It didn't bother me at all and it looked really nice in the pictures!

Re: Veil during reception

Im still undecided...I think I might wear it all night. But Im not sure if it will be annoying or not yet

Re: Veil during reception

Mine is cathedral length so I am only wearing it for the ceremony. Then I am switching to a flower in my hair for the rest of the night.

Re: Veil during reception

Funny cause I said i was taking it off after the first dance. I didnt want to wear the thing all night.
Well, after the first dance I said what the hell and kept it on all night. I didnt even know it was there. It wasnt annoying me or anything!

Re: Veil during reception

i have no recollection of removing it, but i didn't even have mine on for my first dance. i think after the ceremony someone took it off for me, but i really don't remember.

Re: Veil during reception

I had cathedral length, but even if I hadn't, I would have taken it off before the CH/reception. It felt like such a weight was lifted off me once I took it off and bustled my dress! It was much more comfortable walking around, dancing, hugging people, etc. But, if you have always envisioned yourself wearing your veil throughout the whole day, then go for it! Totally your preference.
