1st marriage in church and all the frills; yes, 2nd marriage was Chelsea Old Town Hall Registry Office so no.

It’s your day, do what feels right for you. If you aren’t comfortable it’s a long old day!

Seems like you don't need to.make a decision yet??? Don't put pressure on yourself - if you've got a dress from a shop - go back a few times & try one & see how you fell wearing one. I do think they look rather beautiful & finish off a look but you need to feel comfy - no sense feeling anything other on your special day

And that’s the only thing that matters. If you already have your dress I’d suggest trying some on with it to see how they make you look and feel, then forget about it until nearer the time. They’re easy to go out and get as they shouldn’t need alteration, so if you decide you do want one then it’s a simple errand to add to the last minute to-do list.

Write a list then step back, take some cleansing breaths then put it all out of your mind for at least one day (more if you can) each week. Your temper, mental health and man will all thank you for it!!! xxx

I did for my first wedding, it was attached to my hair bun so not over my face. And it was not very long. I would agree with others and try out different styles. Also - and just a thought - if you go for strapless wedding dress, do think about the fit. In my job I see so many brides constantly hitching up the top of the dress, or having boob wardrobe malfunctions!

A little piece of advice we was given:

On the day, when you are married, take your new husband to one side, go and stand back and take it all in and go off, even for five mins, just you both together. Honestly being able to just watch everyone, there for you was the best thing ever.

Also, don't waste money on wedding favours! They look nice on the table but are the things most left (used to manage a hotel and saw many an aftermath of wedding receptions and always the things left on the tables)

If you want traditional go for it .

When I was with our daughter choosing her dress I said to try on ones she thought she'd hate as well as ones she thought she'd love. That way she wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night thinking she'd made the wrong decision.

I agree...also make the day about you and what you want.

My first wedding, my mum invited loads of family I barely knew and I spent the entire reception going around talking to these people.

When I married Cal, it was a small intimate wedding and a big evening party. I told people that if they wanted me and I wasn't with Cal, I would be on the dancefloor

Flowers are a lovely idea Lor, you could have them matching your colour scheme and also tie in with the groom's boutonniere.

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I didn't wear a veil, although I did have one. Not entirely sure how that happened if I'm honest, as I vaguely recall seeing it knocking about the house in the morning.

The important thing is to be comfortable Lorna, and if you don't feel you would be either with one or without one, go with your gut. I think the idea of one just at the back is lovely, adds something to the outfit. And easy to remove later.

I do think veils can be pretty. I like when it is sort of like a lacy scarf perhaps with scalloped edges over half of your hair at the back and held on with a little flowery crown. Sort of hippy style. I probably havnt described it very well. Would depend on the rest of your outfit, but I think I would have gone for one.

"No. I just had my hair up with small flowers

That sounds pretty.

You could do that Lorna …. Just a short veil clipped in at the back as a token gesture of tradition

Thats a good idea. You have been lovely the whole way through this and always come up with brilliant ideas. X"

My pleasure x

My best friend from school made my dress, it was pastel rainbow coloured and she had so much material left that she made me a veil too. It really helped keep the continuation of colour, I just had it clipped into my hair not covering my face

I did. It was short and placed to the back of my hair as it was loosely pinned up. It sat nicely over my curls after D unveiled me. Then I removed it completely for the evening.

You will find what you are happy with if you try different things.

"Flowers are a lovely idea Lor, you could have them matching your colour scheme and also tie in with the groom's boutonniere.

I'm not married yet, my mum has offered me the cathedral length veil that's been in the family for generations but I just can't picture myself in a wedding dress at all. "

I'm tempted by a cathedral length one but I know I'm going end up tangled in it or Ash will trip over it!

I'll be getting married next year but I won't be having a veil. I'm just buying a very cute dress and registry office and then running away on a mini honeymoon in my cute dress.

If you're going traditional in the dress sense then all you can do is try one on and see how you feel. I think they are adorable.

1st... congrats!

2nd... just try everything on and possibly be surprised with what you like

I went no veil as half my head is shaved, so just a glittery clasp in my hairline. I also had a dress made for super cheap in a 50's style.... he cried when I walked in, so guess my choice was right
