What I should have told you is I have a huge crush on wedding veils. More specifically, on cathedral length veils. How can I resist when I see photos like these:

Okay, so I'm kidding about that last one (what the heck?!), but seriously... I love long wedding veils!
My mother wore a cathedral length veil at her wedding too and told me that she loved it so much she refused to take it off -- even for the reception! She just draped it over her arm and carried it around all night.
Now, I can't see myself having that kind of patience so the hair flower is my back-up for when my veil starts to piss me off. And I'm sure at some point during the reception it's going to piss me off. ;)
But for the formal photos and the ceremony I can't imagine wearing anything other than a long, flow-y veil.
I haven't chosen one yet, but I've definitely been checking out Etsy to find the perfect headpiece. I thought about using my mom's veil, but there is a lot of beautiful detailing on it that doesn't quite jive with my heavily beaded dress. I need something light and simple. Something that won't overwhelm my dress or (more importantly) me -- oh, have I mentioned that I'm barely five feet tall? And so my hunt continues.
So let's hear it. Are you wearing a veil for your wedding day? Maybe even a cathedral length one like me?
