Let’s Talk Bridal Veils

I know the list of things needed for your wedding can be very overwhelming. Marking and checking off all the little details will all be worth it in the end I PROMISE! But in 2020 there is one thing you should add to your list if you haven’t; a Bridal Veil! Below are only a couple of reasons why I think veils are for all brides!

You will hear me singing the praises of veils until the end of time but please continue reading if you are on the fence of adding a veil to your wedding day.

CLASSIC

Bridal veils are classic. A wedding veil is one accessory that will never go out of style in the weddings. I am a personal believer that a simple veil will make your wedding day timeless. They have been a part of weddings since the 17th century; It is not going anywhere! I am particularly in love with the cathedral veils. Keeping it simple will carry the look alone on through generations of family viewing.

CLASSY

Bridal veils are classy. Some things in life just bring elegance and class with them in any setting. Like adding a strand of pearls to any outfit, adding a beautiful veil to your wedding dress elevates your entire bridal look. This is not only in your photos; photos just capture what is already there. I am a firm believer that no matter the venue a bridal veil can work anywhere.

THE WOW FACTOR

Bridal veils add the wow factor. Have you ever watched “Say Yes To The Dress?” When the store assosiate thinks the bride has finally found “The One” (the dress and the man!) they bring out a veil to finish the look. THE REASON IS IT BRINGS OUT THE WOW FACTOR! Not only does this finished look make you feel more like the bride of your dreams but it also will leave your future hubby and guests speechless from your beautiful completed look.

ROMANTIC VIBES

One of the biggest reasons I love wedding veils on my brides is that it gives off big romantic vibes. I think it translates in your photos the best. Veils always remind me of a real life fairytale coming to be.

I hope this blog gives you new insight on why you should add a wedding veil to your day!

Interstate Park | Courtney & Jordan | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Courtney and Jordan met online. Courtney had left several messages for Jordan, which he thought it wouldn't hurt to meet with her, as he thought like the others, it wouldn't really work out. While they met at a Chinese restaurant in Uptown that is no longer there, his doubts slowly melted away.

Our first scheduled engagement session was on April 14th which ended up being one of the worst blizzards in recent Minnesota history. So we enjoyed the beautiful weather this past weekend instead! We enjoyed walking around Wisconsin Interstate State Park, a frequent and favorite hiking place for these two.  The rain held off so we could enjoy doing all the awkward things and enjoy the beautiful day!

They decided they needed a weekend away at a familiar place they have relaxed at before. For Courtney's birthday they made their way to Denver, Colorado for a quick celebratory 3 day weekend. Courtney wasn't expecting anything but relaxation. THey stayed at the same hotel that is rumourly haunted and inspired Steven King's famous novel The Shining. As they enjoyed their time they decided to venture out to enjoy the lakes in the surrounding areas. With high winds that day they made several attempts until they finally ended up at Bear Lake. They were pretty much alone with only two skiers watching from a distance when Jordan got down on one knee and proposed. And with cheers from the random onlookers, Courtney said yes!! They are both excited and ready to get married this fall!
