Inspiration for your road to the altar

It arrived all wrapped up in this box, with an ivory bow tied around it. It’s harder than one would think to take a self portrait of a veil, and we don’t have a full length mirror (ridiculous, I know) so my options were limited. The few I tried to take over my head were down right frightening, so here are one of the veil alone and another of just the bottom:
I highly reccommend veilshop.com if you’re interested in something basic and don’t want to spend a fortune. The fabric swatches they sent were very easy to match to the dress, the veil looked exactly how I was hoping it would, and the shipping was incredibly fast. Wearing a veil was never really important to me & at the beginning of this process I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to have one at all. So even though I changed my mind I didn’t want something that was going to be overly fussy & I have no intentions of this becoming a family heirloom. I just wanted something simple, and this fits the bill!

On Sunday I was finally up for a little wedding talk, and my Mom and I actually wound up getting several things accomplished. One of which was ordering my veil! I’ve posted before about my desire for a long one, but I also don’t want one that is very full. Anyway, I ordered swatches from veilshop.com awhile ago and brought them with me to my parents house so we could compare them to the dress. The “light ivory” was a perfect match, and I got an e-mail today that the veil is already on it’s way to me! I’ll be sure to take pictures when it arrives, but for now here are some from their site:
