and it's exactly like I pictured it would be! I was smiling soooo suuuuper big as I rushed into the bathroom, closed the door behind me and stuck it on top of my head. I was giddy with a goofy toothy grin, twirling in the mirror. Yes. I was twirling.
I am enamored with this veil.
It's still strange to me that I ended up really wanting a veil in the first place. A part of me is slightly embarrassed about wanting a veil. (Why is that?!) I think I spent so much time convincing myself that my wedding style is relaxed, that I didn't want to make a big fuss out of what I looked like...that it was OK if I didn't buy into the traditional bride "stuff." And yet, here I am with a glorious veil? Am I a sell out?
No. I'm not a sell out. Girl wants a veil. On my wedding day, I'll wear what I want. And I won't be apologetic for being a silly girl, or playing into a childhood fantasy. I'll just smile...and twirl.... and feel fabulous.
I had my veil custom created by Fascinating Creations. Cindy, the designer, is wonderful!

I can't wait to see it in pictures! Don't worry about wanting a veil, there's something very theatrical about them, I love them!
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny? I didn't wear a veil, yet I always imagined myself in one. It does seem to emphasize the "ceremonial" and "serious" aspect of getting married. And they are pretty.
ReplyDeleteoooohhh...I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteI ordered my veil and it should arrive any day now, I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute. Your I'm-so-happy-I'm-almost-giddy posts always make me smile. =]
ReplyDeleteAnd no, you're not a sellout. Wearing a veil does not make you anything near a sellout. You still are doing a very earth-friendly, non-fussy, mountain wedding.
exactly! hooray!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, great! I'm still on the fence, but I think I'm starting to lean more toward wearing a veil. I'm like you, it is a bit of a childhood thingy.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see photos. I bet you're going to be unbelievably lovely.

Yay!!! Your going to make a flawless bride!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a sell out. I have a good friend whose personal mission is the tell all the brides she knows that it is OK to wear a veil if they want to. She didn't wear one, but really wanted to and regretted it. So wear it if you want to! :)
ReplyDeletelove it! no need to be apologetic - good attitude.

i have similar veil feelings... i kinda want to wear my mom's gorgeous cathedral length veil (see: http://www.emilyseyelive.com/2009/12/nearly-wed-adventures-in-out-of-town.html) but it feels too over the top for the low-key, outdoor shindig i'm planning. its so pretty though! sigh... good job on finding and loving your veil! your blog rocks!
ReplyDeletelol. I didn't want a veil either - "too archaic". But I put one on. I fell in love. Gorgeous. I am really excited for you.
