The Wind Beneath My Veil Part One: The Inspiration
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 at 10:57pm
When I first started looking for wedding veils, I wanted a birdcage veil. I felt it was chic, modern, and sooo me. When I went dress shopping, my parents really leaned towards a more traditional veil. I put a few on but wasn’t really feeling it. A few bridal store visits later, and after many hours of looking at other couple’s wedding pictures, I became obsessed with having a chapel length veil. Who ever said your parent’s don’t know what’s best for you?
So, you might ask… how did I go from a 6″ veil to a 90″+ veil? What happened to me? Well these images below is what ‘happened’ to me↓
Could totally see a picture of us like this over our mantel… if we had a mantel, that is.

This is one of my fav’s from one my awesome bridesmaid’s weddings. Did you think veils just flow in the wind naturally??? Ahh…well they don’t! I’m totally like 3 feet to the right of this picture, throwing her veil up in the air; hoping one day she will do the same for me :-) ♥ her!

Yes, I want to be the girl with the long veil. So often I go the minimalist route, while my fiance tries to push me into a more feminine direction. When we go shopping for me, I’m usually reaching for the gray v-neck shirt, while he is reaching for the ruffly bright-colored shirt (could be the architecture student in me). So, I feel it is about time I shed my ultra minimalist inhibitions and just roll with a more flow-y, funky, floral, romantic, feminine self.
And you know what? It feels real good to do so. :-)
