I’m trying to decide how I feel about this veil that I picked up recently. I’ve had a hankering for a bird cage veil for a long time and I was super excited the first time I tried one on in David’s. The second time, I wasn’t as thrilled. When I saw this one, I figured the price was so good that I should just do it and try it with my dress when it gets here.

Whatchoo all think? (photos behind the cut, for those so inclined to remain in the dark *ahem*)

This is also a lovely shot of my parent’s bathroom. It’s small. Also, why so serious, NEPA Bride?

That’s a little better. Also tilted the veil at a steeper angle. Maybe that’s the key?

Ok, I’m finished. Clearly we are over it.

What do you think? I like it, but I don’t know if I really love *any* of the veils I tried on. I want to wear one though, so maybe shorter is better. I want to get a floofy flower to wear with it as well. Sigh, I don’t know yet. Opinions are welcome!

This arrived at my house the other day:

An unassuming little box that carried something I’d been waiting for… my veil! I found it on Etsy – the talented Tessa Kim makes them and sells them for extremely reasonable prices – mine was $35 after shipping! Compare that to what, $100 for something the same size at David’s Bridal. It’s a no-brainer!

I ordered the veil and a few days after it shipped, I decided to check in on it. She works out of L.A. so I knew it would take a while, but imagine my surprise when the tracking data indicated it had arrived safe and sound in HAWAII that day. EEK!

I emailed her in a small panic, and let me tell you, she is totally the sweetest thing ever. She called the post office for me while I fumbled around on their website and they assured her it was headed in the right direction. It arrived a few days later and she kept checking in to make sure I got it. She even went so far as to offer to send a replacement.

So you wanna see it? (NEPA GROOM – you know the drill. If you don’t wanna know, do not click!)

Sitting on my bed. The next time I have makeup on I’ll do some real shots.

Check out that comb. It’s metal! I love it because it actually stayed put. My hair is so thick it won’t hold anything, but this didn’t budge!

Maybe it didn’t make it the whole way around the globe, but it definitely took quite the trip!
