When I was searching for my dress, I cringed every time the associate assisting me would stick a veil into my hair. Actually, it was more like she stabbed the veil into my head. Hasn't every bride experienced this kind of pain?! I see it as a right of passage. Regardless, a couple of months ago I wasn't even sure if I wanted to wear a veil on the big day. I didn't want to be trapped behind mosquito netting while walking down the aisle and I wanted to avoid any sort of veil that looked like a giant marshmallow around my head. I was indifferent as to the length as long as it wasn't too short.
I'll take that exact veil, please! I'm planning on pinning mine underneath my "updo" and having it flow down instead of pinning it anywhere near the top of my updo/head in order to minimize any chance of a "poof"/halo effect around my head.
My dress doesn't have as long of a train as I really wanted, so perhaps a longer veil would give off the look that I wanted, especially for the ceremony. And then, the veil will come off for the reception. Thoughts? Will the long veil give the illusion of a longer train or will it take away from the back of the dress? Are you/did you take off your veil for the reception?

My veil is finger tip length and will be worn low on my head because I am SO anti-poof. When I bought it I thought about getting a long one instead, but I want to try and wear mine as long as possible so I went for shorter.
I really want to wear it until it's not comfortable anymore. I think it just completes the bride look, you know?
i had the same feeling when the sales ladies plopped on one of those overly poofy veils- ick.
but i did get a veil that sits higher and frames my face it is just standard fullness to avoid overdone poofing. and it long. and I am absolutely taking if off after the ceremony!
I didn't think that getting ready for your wedding was suppose to cause you physical pain. It's tough being a girl.
