Wedding veil, blusher or birdcage?

Terry, on October 17, 2016 at 17:02 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 22
So for the last 6 months I have been wondering if I really wanted a wedding veil for my big day . I feel like it doesn't "suit" me So I finally decided I will go with a birdcage that I got custom made. I can't wait to get it . I will post pictures when I do . Did any of you change your mind on what you wanted or for sure wedding veilSmiley love

    I love your dress Ashley!! Smiley heart

    I love the details on the bodice, they're absolutely gorgeous!! Smiley love

    I guess it also depends what hairstyle you would like to go for. You could also have a different type of accessories in your hair if it's not a veil:

    Or you could have a veil that attaches like a headband or hair accessory:

    Do you like the idea? Smiley smile

    My dress is not a typical destination wedding dress. It is a ball gown. If I were to do a veil it would probably be fairly long. I do t think a bird cage would suit the dress or me very well.
    Thank you for mentioning an out Simone. I will try to think of somethings to ask her. My wedding coordinator is taking care of most things down there.

    Terry, thank you I think a veil would look fantastic with the wind too. I just hope I can pull it off.

    Hi Ashley Smiley heart

    Wow! You're having a destination wedding!! That's amazing! Smiley love

    I think Simone has some family from Jamaica, she's planning on getting Jamaican food for her wedding social. You could ask her for her opinion.

    Food ideas for my wedding social

    You could consider having a short veil for instance! Look at this Real Wedding too. She also had her wedding down south and wore a birdcage veil Smiley smile

    Will you wear a short or long wedding dress?

    Definitely go with a birdcage if you don't want to hide the back of your dress . Or you can have a shorter veil too like shoulder length. Good luck

    I also feel it doesn't fit my personality that's why I followed my heart. But I have to say my mother and grandmother are upset that I didn't go with a traditional veil . But it's my day , rightSmiley sexy

    Ashley I think if you are getting married on a beach with the wind your pictures will be amazing . I love pictures when the veil is like floating absolutely beautiful. But I understand it can be in the way if it's always in your face .

    Hehheehehe. I had the same problem. Don't get me wrong veils are beautiful and lovely but my personality doesn't go with it. I am more of a birdcage kinda girl. Can't wait to see your pics

    I love this birdcage. It looks fabulous.
    I am still unsure if I will have a veil. We are getting married in Jamaica on the beach and I think the veil may be too much with the wind.. but I am undecided because I have always wanted a veil.

    I love the birdcage look! I am considering one, but will have a better idea when I choose my dress.

    I will not wear a traditional veil, because I want a dramatic back on my dress, and I wouldn't want to cover it. And definately not a blusher- not a big fan of that tradition myself.

    That looks fantastic TerrySmiley love !!!

    I know I changed my mind about what I wanted. At first I absolutely did not want a veil… then they put one on me while I was trying on dresses and was like… yup, looks like I’m getting a veil now!

    Hi Terry Smiley heart I'm so glad you started this discussion!

    I really love the birdcage veil you are going for!! It looks so beautiful and classic! Smiley love

    You're totally right that not every bride necessarily feel like wearing a veil and it's good that you could find a compromise and get one you really like!

    I really can't wait to see how it will look like once you get yours!! Smiley love

    Have you already decided on a hairstyle you will wear with it?

    I have decided on a veil as I always wanted one, it's mid-length and perfect for the vision I had walking down the aisle. The birdcage veil is also nice and compliment to any dress.
