Unveiling of the Veils!!








Are you the type that has dreamed of your wedding since you were a little girl? Surprisingly, almost everyone I know never had "Wedding Fantasies" as a child. If you have been envisioning exactly what your day will look like since you were young-that is great! If not, join the club...

Here are some awesome tidbits about veils; what lengths mean what, what other hair-piece options you have etc...

-Longer veil are more formal...
-If your dress is more informal, a longer veil will be contradictory-opt for a fingertip or waist length veil
-Short birdcage veils are classy and cute, yet very vintage and representative of prestige...
-You can easily replicate lace on your dress on the hem of your veil
-Borrowing a relative's veil is a great way to check off your, "Something borrowed" or "Something old" category!
-Traditionally, brides would cover their face with the veil & as the Father is giving away his Daughter there was a ceremonial lifting of the veil and kiss... Many do not adhere to this veil-over-the-face tradition currently, but still exchange Father-Daughter kiss to symbolize giving her hand in marriage...
-Don't forget, you always have the option to wear a feather headband, jeweled tiara, beautiful bows or ribbons, ornate barrette, family heirloom etc
