To veil or not to veil - and do you need to wear one at all?

Do you need to wear a veil on your wedding day, and the bigger question is do you even want to?

Our clients ask us all the time, but our answer is always the same. You don't have to. That being said, being a bride is really the only time you'll get to wear one, so why not embrace it!

Consider your values 

• Are you a bride that feels the veil represents an anti feminist movement?
• Are you a bride that wants the veil to show respect by covering shoulders or your head in a religious setting?

Consider your look 

• Where are you getting married? Inside or outside? In a covered space or in the great outdoors? Your veil is only as beautiful as the wind that pushes it in your face on the beach. 
• What is your personal style? Do you like clean lines, or embellishments?
• What is the style of your dress? Do you have a full detailed dress so you'll want a simple veil, or a really simple wedding dress so your veil will be very detailed. Or are both pieces detailed? 
• Does your veil offer versatility? Can you wear it after your ceremony? 
• Review the shade of your veil, does it compliment your skin or wash you out

Consider your alternatives to a veil
