And since no one else has posted their veils yet, I thought I'd jump in an post both of mine! (I had bought one dress & veil, which I will now wear for our AHR, and then had a change of heart and got a different gown & veil for the ceremony) so here are pictures of both!

I know these photos are up on the forum elsewhere already, but here they are again for veil-posting purposes!

Here is my ceremony gown (Sottero & Midgley RSM1038 ) and the single-tier cathedral veil with no embellishments:

And here is the original gown I bought at David's Bridal (style T8792) with matching 2-tier, fingertip length, satin ribbon-edge veil that I'll be wearing for my AHR:

I think anyone who is undecided as to whether or not to wear a veil, just consider this -- it is the only time in your life when you can wear one and not look silly, so I say go for it!!!

In my opinion, nothing says "Here comes the BRIDE!" more that a beautiful girl, in a gorgeous gown, finished with a fabulous veil....
To the OP--they both look great.

Christie...wanted to thank you for amazing presence here. I hope (well I know) your FI really loves and cherishes the awesome person you are--because you just seem like that one person that is always in your corner. I wish there were more people like you :) Thanks for your kind words to all of us crazy brides on here.

I absolutely LOVE this veil...

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32948625&ref=sr_galler y_13&ga_search_query=veil&ga_search_type=&ga_page= 8&order=date_desc&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title

 

the "straps" on my dress have a ton of bead detail so I want a very sheer veil, I also really want a antique looking broach clip at the top of the veil and I think this would work perfectly. Plus its only 23 bucks!

 

The only thing I worry about is whether it will match my dress. But for 23 bucks I guess if it doesn't I haven't wasted that much.

i vote for #2

 

kjt1985, I love your veil, very romantic!!

 

to all the ladies: I really want a veil b/c like you've all said, it's the only time we get to wear one. I know for a fact that the location we chose for the ceremony is super windy. Are any of you securing your veil so it doesn't blow around, i.e pinning it to the dress or weighing it down or something? any concerns about this?

Yup, it's a concern. I'm just going to try and wear it low or more on the back of my head and hopefully the wind is blowing in the right direction to keep it behind me. Haha. Securing it to the dress is a really good idea though. Maybe somebody could put a small stitch in after you're dressed. Or get some clear double sided tape?

Ok....so I know I'm going slightly off topic, but I just wanted to say that I am so sorry that I am just seeing your post from October, but I had to tell you that that has to be one of the SWEETEST things that ANYONE (including my dear FI!) has ever said to, or about me! You're gonna get me tearing up here at work, girl! I love BDW and all of the great women like you that I have had the honor to meet through this incredible forum!!!

Thank you so much -- all right, now back to the veil posting fun!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
