See, it’s photos like yours that remind me why I chose a long drop veil too! That first picture, especially, is spectacular! Two questions: (1) How easy was it to link arms with your Dad with the veil everywhere, and (2) how easy was it for your hubby to lift up the veil and get it back over your head when it’s so long and cumbersome? These questions are worrying me!

Who was your photographer? The pics are beautiful.

I thought I didn’t want a veil, then I saw all the cute birdcage veils and thought that that was what I wanted. I ordered the material, made my own, but now, I put it on with the dress and it just doesn’t seem right. So, I am thinking now of switching to a long (fingertip or longer) veil. I don’t know what to do!

Lovely! I love your veil. I’ve been cautious about ordering lots of merchandise from the internet, mostly because of tariffs that can be slammed onto merchandise shipped from the US into Canada. Some vendors mail it to you, which results in no tariffs. Others declare the goods, so that tariffs are charged. I’m not sure why it happens one way and not the other.

Miss JellyBean, were the tariffs from veilshop to Canada reasonable?

I had originally said NO VEIL. In the first 3 dress shops, I politely told the ladies that I had lost my father and had no desire to have a constant reminder in my face as I walked down the aisle.

It wasn’t until I found the one, that I opened my eyes to the idea of a veil. I also did not know that you could by a veil and not drape it over your face.

The lady who eventually sold me my dress appreciated my reasoning and was very polite in her way of presenting the veil to me. After she placed the veil on my head, I couldn’t have pictured my dress without it. It completed my look.

Wow, your veil just made it that much more magical. The drop veil worked really well with the shape of your dress. Loves it. And your glow just shone through…

I too was adamant about not having a veil and my now husband felt the same way. But when my mom and moh made me try a veil with my dress, it just completed the look. And then the search was on for the perfect won’t cost me an arm and a leg. I did after a long tiring search. The funny thing was, maybe the veil was trying to tell me something though because day of the wedding, my moh got it caught and the bottom of the veil ripped a little (no one could see it though and I had to reassure her that all was ok) and then when my husband and I were doing the recessional it popped out of my hair and onto the ground. We got a laugh from our guests though when he tried to put it back on all askew on my head. All was well though and hopefully we got some good shots of all this….pictures from our photogs aren’t due for another 2 weeks. =)

I still pull out the veil every once in a while and I NEVER thot that I would wear a tiara either…but there it was…and I spent too much on it, but have been known to vacuum the house in it every once in a while LOL
