One Bridal Accessory You Shouldn't Leave Out Of Your Wedding Day | MW Bride Tips | Bridal Tips

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!

When To Wear The Veil At Your Wedding | Bridal tips | St. Paul & Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Having a veil has been an age old tradition in the wedding world, which ,any brides still choose to follow today.  I love when brides have veils; they add a timeless/classic look to have in your wedding album, but veils are not something you will need all day! Can you imagine trying to attempt that with a catherdial veil?

I have a couple of tips for my MW Bride on when to wear the veil on the wedding day.  

 Firstly, wear it on your first look! Your hair and makeup will be fresh and beautiful, and the veil is the finishing touch. What better way for your groom to see your completed planning then to see you 100% dolled up to marry him!!  

Next, wear your veil for the ceremony. This is what your veil was orignially intended for, so there is no better time to wear it!  All your ivited guest will be swept away by the your vision as you walk down the aisle. And don't worry your maid of honor will make sure it is sitting perfectly as you marry the man of your DREAMS! 

Lastly, after vows are exchanged and you are husband and wife wear your veil for some photos with you groom!  As the party is really starting to kick off at your reception, I will try to steal you away for some sunset portraits. This is the time that your veil will make your photos pop. It does not have be in all of them, but it will help add a little more variety in your portraits!   

Bonus: These are times where it comes to your personal preferrence - wearing your veil for family formals or wedding party portraits! These times it really varies from brid to bride! 

I hope these help give you insight to the best times to wear your veil on your wedding day!!
