Veil Fail

Ok so maybe fail is an overstatement, but I am a sucker for a good rhyme. I just feel like I should have some idea about what I want on my head as I vow my love to the man of my dreams! On top of that some people, like Miss Magic, have picked out their veils before they even buy a dress!!

You may be thinking, "Ms. Aardvark, there are so many looks and styles out there, I'm sure you will be able to find something you like!"

Well, internet, that is the problem. I like all of them (ok most of them). Yep. Every time I see a veil I imagine myself wearing it down the aisle, and I like it. Every. Time. Shall we take a look at some styles that have fueled my indecision?

This elbow length bubble veil...Stunning. Love the simplicity and the volume and the classic "Bridey-ness" (it's a word!)

THIS! What is it?! Not even sure but I like it. Little sparkles, little poof, little modern, little vintage.

Ah the mantilla. So classic. As a child I was convinced the mantilla was the veil for me. However that eliminates the option of a blusher. Is that even an issue? I have no idea!

Bird Cage...So retro so chic... So simple. Sigh. SO MANY OPTIONS!

LOOK AT THIS ONE! How flirty and cute is that? Doesn't it just make you want to skip down the aisle? Maybe that's just me.

Ohhh and the drama of the cathedral length veil. When else in your life would it be ok to drag something so beautiful on the ground? And think of the amazing photos!

This took my breath away. It's spunky and cute. It's vintage and fresh all at once. I am so enamored of these little caps.

The options are truly endless.  I am so torn between all of these, and they are only from one website! Etsy, you will be the death of me (or my checking account)!

Maybe I should find some way to work them all together into one fantastic SUPER VEIL! It will be perfect and glorious! ...Or... it will be something like this:

I have some time. While I have a pretty good idea of what my dress will look like, perhaps, once I try that baby on, I will have a clearer sense of direction. 

Where you totally overwhelmed by any of your wedding options? How did you overcome it?
