A thinly veiled remark...

Having just received notice that my dress has arrived (happy dance!) I am now asking myself the question of many brides, to veil or not to veil? I used to shrug off the idea of ever wearing a veil (or a wedding dress for that manner) but again, the minute you try on one of these things it's amazing how fun it is! (So swishy and twirly!) I also loved the look that this "Gator" bride went for (check out her amazing blog for all things wedding). So today I did a huge search on etsy to see what was out there. Here are my favs:

This one is from BridalAmbiance. I love the simple flowers around the edge. Not so sure about the poofy top to this, but it's different from the usual.

This one from veiledbeauty has a lovely delicate feel to it with the lace edging. I am definitely a fan of the single tiered look as well.

Birdcage veils seem to be everywhere now and this one from WeddingAisle would be perfect for that chic vintage look.

This one from FascinatingCreations is also featured in Mountain Bride's blog. It is just about what I might want, just missing a bit o' lace.

For those that want to do the Carrie Bradshaw thang, there's this one from heknowsmyname. Personally, I find the whole poofy blusher just a bit too Mrs. Havesham for my liking so I don't think this is the route I'll be taking. Which do you like?
