Lifting of the veil

This is such a nit-picky question, but here goes:

For the brides wearing veils with blushers: When are you planning to lift your veils?

1 - Have your dad do it as he is "giving you away"
2 - Having your FH do it as you approach the aisle before you say your vows
3 - Right before he kisses you.

I've seen each of the three on various wedding shows and movies. I cant decide between #2 or #3. I'm leaning more towards him lifting it right before he kisses me, but I don't know if it matters to him whether he wants to look me in the eyes as we recite our vows. *I'm sure that he will give me a "Whatever you want to do" type of answer.

When are you ladies planning on lifting your blushers?

Re: Lifting of the veil

I'm still debating on the blusher... Not too sure I will have one.
If I do have one i would like my dad to lift it right after giving me away..

I'm not wearing a blusher but I would opt for your FH before the kiss! :)

Re: Lifting of the veil

You could go either way....It just depends if YOU want the veil or not....If its appopriate in a "fashion sense" is not the case here. My dress was very similar, especially the bottom, and I wore a simple veil as not to take away from the dress, but looking back, I could have worn an even more elegant veil and it wouldn't have mattered beause the dress stood out on its own....So I got compliments for the dress...still do!

Re: Lifting of the veil

My opinion: All brides should wear a veil.
