Veil or no veil?

I was 100% anti vail. I thought they were for religious ceremonies only and I’m not religious at all so I didn’t want it!
BUT when I went to try on dresses just before lockdown 2.0, I put on what went on to be my dream dress, and then they put a belt and a long chapel length veil on me and OMG I’m in love!! The veil they put on me was £230 so I won’t be getting that one, but I will be getting one similar for sure. Once they reopen the shops, I suggest going to bridal shop and trying one on and see how you feel. It totally converted me! X

Most of my brides who have a veil do not actually use it as a "veil" at all.

I would say that only about 60% of my Church weddings the bride uses the veil as a veil and for a civil ceremony its about 5%

They come in so many lengths and materials, anything from a shear gossamer like material to a heavy lace. Also worth thinking about is that you can remove it anytime you like if you have one, most never stay in all day.

For me as a wedding photographer I love em, especially the way they can "glow" with some light behind them, they can also create an almost dream like quality in your photos.

As Mrs Double-Barrelled To Be 85 says, just try some on and see how you feel.

Here are a few shots for you, hope they help but watch out if its windy on your wedding day!
