The Veiled Dilemma

So, we are today at t-minus 300 days to go, and I am super pumped- although I need to get my butt to the gym, I will worry about that tomorrow- after all, tomorrow is another day!




My thoughts of the moment revolve around veils and shoes. Now, I have ordered the actual shoes, but I have planned to have these boring white shoes dyed either a deep red or a dazzling blue, but the question is…which one? If I go red, it matches my colors, but blue will give me my something blue….hmmm????



The true dilemma has been around veils. When the whole thing first started, I wanted a long flowy veil that could flutter in the breeze at the beaches of T&C, but things changed a little since then, and I thought I wanted a cage veil- until recently. I recently saw some pictures of some other weddings, and the brides had on cage veils, and to be quite honest, I was not impressed with them. They did not fit the hairstyle or the overall style of their dress or venue. And I got to thinking….to cage veil or to chapel veil? I was pretty set on a chapel veil, or at least floor length, until I saw this “Astyn” veil. And now, I am torn again. This veil is WAY more than I would actually spend for the veil, but I do love the look of it, and may try and find something very similar.



I had been thinking I would wear my hair asymmetrically to the side, with my bangs down blunt across.



My bangs would be similar to this….





But my hair would be pulled up like this….







Or maybe more simply, like this…





I have a really pretty flower clip I would probably use, either with or without my veil, depending on which veil and how it looks. But here is the dilemma….which veil…here are some I have been drawn to…



Astyn





Chapel Length, Simple Finished Edge



Floor Length Chiffon, Ribbon Edged



General Asymmetrical Cage Veil





So, what do you think? I just can’t seem to make up my mind….please give me some feedback....


Love ya!
