Last week we did a post on wearing a veil for your wedding vs. not wearing a veil. I thought it might be fun to showcase some different hair styles that you can wear with a veil, or without. Most of the updo’s that have some sort of bun in the back, the veil can be pinned below or above the bun, and then left on or taken off for the reception. Happy styling!

Several years ago, the thought of not wearing a veil at your wedding was considered crazy. These days, however, some brides are opting to not wear veils at all or to wear a small one for the ceremony and no veil for the reception. I have to say, I’m still a fan of veils, at least for the wedding ceremony. Veils can add drama to wedding pictures and long cathedral length veils are simply stunning when paired with a beautiful wedding gown. For receptions, I do like the stunning hair pieces though. I like the fact that you can get two different looks with the same dress, all from just changing your hair pieces. Below is some inspiration for veils vs. no veil.

I have been seeing a lot of vintage inspired e-sessions and weddings around the web lately, and I have to say I’m a big fan. Whether it’s 1950′s or 1930′s, each and every wedding or e-session is unique and personal. Below are some of my favorites.

I saw these images on Bridal Soup and knew I had to share them with you. Taken by the talented Steve Gerrard, the images are simply stunning, as is the brides dress!! I think its my new favorite.
I also have to say, I absolutely love the title of the Bridal Soup post, “Shoot The Dress”, instead of Trash the Dress. I’ve never been a fan of Trash the Dress sessions so this is a welcome alternative! Kudos to Steve Gerrard. =) See the full post here.

I love seeing shoes that the brides wear on their wedding day. Perhaps its because of my major shoe obsession, or my love for photography, but I can’t get enough of the “shoe shots” photographers capture. These shots are all by one of my favorite photographers, Victor Sizemore. I love Victor’s way of capturing the shoes; no two shots are styled the same.
