Here’s the planner perspective on the veil. I love a veil. They’re absolutely gorgeous. But the problem is when you get to the part of your day, like cocktail hour where you’re interacting with guests, everybody’s hugging you, and the first thing that they do is throw their arms around you and it smacks your veil and it rips your head back and it sucks and it’s annoying and it ruins your hair. So all of my brides who have decided to wear their veil, I’m usually carrying it by the end of cocktail hour because they’ve had enough. So just keep that in mind in case if you do want to keep it on for your first dance, take it off the cocktails, put it back for your first dance. I think that’s probably better because you’re going to get annoyed.
