Who knew that choosing a veil would be such an ordeal!? NOT ME! I have grown up picturing this beautiful long veil that flows softly behind me as I walk down the aisle. I mean who doesn’t want to be Maria from The Sound of Music on their wedding day? ;) But then when I went dress shopping I tried on a waltz length with my dress and fell in love with it! So I spent months going back and forth. I even contemplated taking my sister’s veil out of her heirloom-box and wearing it. Ultimately, I decided that I wanted to stick to my original gut instinct and have the longest veil humanly possible. Throughout this whole wedding planning process there have been some dreams that I have tossed out, some that I have grown out of (like having bubble-gum pink tulle under my gown), and some that I just have to stick to. This is one of those dreams… I want to feel like Maria Von Trap.
What about you? Do you have a favorite length for veils? Or things you’ve dreamed about for your wedding that you are realizing aren’t the best fit for you as an adult?
