Wearing your veil at the Reception??

Original post by Sunrise813

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 am totally wearing it at the reception! Cathedral length veil will come off after Mass and pictures... but the waist length one i am wearing all night! It's so elegant and completes the look, IMO.

Can't - physically impossible for me!

Veil is just as long as the dress (btw a chapel and cathedral length) with lace edge.

wait a sec. Now I am thinking... For all of your pictures before the ceremony, do you wear your veil?

I would definitely have the veil on for any pictures before the ceremony. As for the reception, mine's coming off. I don't need anything else to lug around. Between the weight of the dress and the tiara, I'll be breaking a sweat. LOL!!

Sorry about popping in but....
I think it's a preference. I wore mine for the first dance and for about 1 hour into. I was comfortable with it and I didn't want to ruin my hair. So I ended up having my MOH helping me.

I want to wear mine during the reception, but if it starts to get annoying I won't hesitate to take it off.

i've never seen a bride wear her veil at the reception but if you want to... go for it.

However, i've heard many ladies complain that people end up stepping all over it if it's long and i know that my FSIL was so hot... that she didn't want to be bothered with it. It might also be hard to have it on when dancing. What if it gets caught on something or someone (a persons watch, etc).

I saw it done over thanksgiving weekend and there is definitely a reason I've only seen it once! The bride looked so awkward while trying to maneuver the dress & veil! I'm sure the pictures will be very nice but she always looked like she was so uncomfortable.

Most of the time I see brides leave it on for the reception, and that's what I plan on doing. I don't think I've ever seen a bride take it off!

I think of my grandma bc of this topic, she says it's the veil that makes the bride, otherwise you're just a girl in a white dress.



AWW SO CUTE!

I'm going to wear my veil for my first dance (I, well my mom, paid way too much $$ for me to only wear it for 2 hours). After that, it's off and I'm going natural...well as natural as an up-do can get!

I wore mine through about 1/2 the reception. I wasn't planning to take it off at all but after dancing quite a bit I got hot and it was bugging me. so my BM helped me take it off.

its not weird at all..
most of the time i've seen brides leaving it on for the reception. I'll probably do the same.


I agree

Mine is elbow length so it should be easy to wear...I will probably wear it until we have the main course.

Re: Wearing your veil at the Reception??

Im keeping mine on for the reception. It makes me feel more 'bride like'

You only wear it once, so if you want to rock the veil all night, do so!!
