Decisions, Decisions!! When you are planning a wedding there are so many decisions to make. When I got married I wouldn’t even have considered walking in that door without a veil on especially in a Baptist Church. Could you even imagine the whispers, the looks and the utter discuss in that church, I would’ve really made a statement. So, to keep the peace I followed the rules. But, thank God it’s a different world now and all brides have a choice to decide whether they want to wear a veil or not.
The veil rises from the mists of mythology. It was continued and eventually a blusher was added in the 1800’s supposedly so that the future husband could not see which daughter of the family he was marrying (can you imagine his surprise). I wonder how many of them ran. Anyway, back to deciding about the veil, l this is a decision that you really have to decide on based on so many factors that are involved. One being your personality, secondly your venue, if you are getting married outside always consider the length of the veil. Another consideration would be how your groom feels about it, it can be very romantic if you are giving him the opportunity to lift the veil and see that beautiful smile of yours.
There are also so many beautiful head pieces that can be worn instead of a veil or maybe even a favorite flower. Keep your options open and try a few different things before you decide. You may be pleasantly surprised that the veil you never imagined wearing could be the one that puts that WOW in your day!!
Butterfly Kisses!!
