Mr. Cheetah wants to know absolutely nothing about my wedding day look, so I have to take extra precautions…

Okay, is he gone?

Good, now let’s talk veils. I won’t be changing into a second reception dress, but I will have a reception veil. Or two. I admit it, I have veil fever. And the only thing that will cure it is more cowbell tulle!

When trying on dresses I fell in love with veils, particularly cathedral length veils. Even before I found my dress I had decided that I would be wearing a cathedral length veil. They are gorgeous, romantic, and oh-so-bridal. However, they are also super duper long and difficult to move around in, so I’ll only be wearing it for the ceremony and perhaps photos. Since I adore the look and feel of veils, I want that feeling to last through the reception. So, a second (smaller) veil I shall have!

I just bought this beauty and it should be in my veil-hungry hands in a month, just in time for my first fitting. I’m head over heels for for it, but I am concerned it might still be too much headgear for the reception…my original plan was a simple tulle birdcage, but I saw this and had to have it:

If that turns out that I love the veil but it’s still too much for dinner and dancing, I may just wear it for the first look and try to find something smaller…which would bring me up to three total veils. Wow. At least I only have one dress, right?

Anyone else have veil fever?
