Do people in Kenya wear Veils?

Do i have to wear a wedding veil and shoes on my big day?

  • i brought this beautiful wedding dress that cost me almost 3 thousand dollars from keinfeild. i tried on a wedding veil with the dress and my opinion it really doesn't look right. then i also tried a necklace and that too didn't look right being that it is a sweat heart neck line. now my future mother in law wants me to wear the gloves!!! and i personal don't want to. that isn't me. and its too much for me. im more of the plain let the dress speak for itself type of girl, where i don't need all these extra things over doing it for me. Now the shoe situation. i brought me some white bridal sock that say bride on the bottom of them. they look really nice and i love them. i don't want to wear to shoes because i wear 5 inches. i can not walk in anything less then that. and when i tell ppl that im not wearing shoes they look at me like in crazy... but if i do that i will be taller then my soon to be husband, and i don't want that. so is it really that big of a deal to have a veil and shoes for that day? p.s.- i seen plenty of episodes of fair wedding and the brides dont wear any veils and they look beautiful. so why cant me? in addition to that my mother in law is like its my big day i have to go all out...but i dont have to make a statement. i can still be simple and look fantastic. that's just who i am that's all, and i feel like in being pressured to do what everyone wants them to do and not me. even thought they cant make me change my mind, but still theres only a week left until the big day. any advice people. and sorry for the long story...lol

  • Answer:

    You future mother in law needs to keep silent about what you wear. No one's opinion matters but your. Don't wear gloves - way too old fashioned. No one wear them anymore for their wedding. If you don't like a veil, don't wear one. As far as the shoes, get some flats or ballet slippers. Those socks are going to look gawd awful by the end of the evening.

You definitely don't have to wear a veil on your wedding day! There are plenty on beautiful alternatives to veils, such as Fascinators (usually made of flowers and feathers) hair jewelry, headbands, or even rhinestone or pearl hair pins, which can be incorporated into your hairstyle to give it a little "pop". There are also the trendy birdcage veils too. Here are some hair pins: http://www.veilubridal.com/wedding-hair-accents-accessories.htm Here are some Fascinators: http://www.wedding-veil-shop.com/flower-feather-fascinators.html and here are some birdcage veils. http://www.wedding-veil-shop.com/birdcage-veils.html As far as shoes go, some brides opt for white ballet flats for comfort and if they don't want to be taller than their grooms. Also, I've seen brides wear decorated white canvas sneakers! If your socks show under your dress while walking and standing, I might reconsider them, as they may stand out in photos...you could definitely wear them for the reception though. It's nice that your future mother-in-law wants to be involved, but I would just explain to her that gloves and a veil just aren't you. Maybe you could include her in another aspect of your wedding planning, like picking our honeymoon attire or something? She probably just wants to be included in this major event of your lives, so I would find something and ask her to help with it....like picking our favors, or finding you a garter (if you are doing that) or a bridal purse, or find a great guest book or some other task you could assign her to. Hope this helps and best wishes to you!

When I married the first time my dress ( a modern version of the southern antebellum ball gowns ) would have looked dreadful with a veil so I opted for a wide brimmed white picture hat covered in lace trimmed organza to match the lace trimmed organza on the butterfly sleeves and skirt of the gown. I wore white satin dress shoes with rhinestone buckles and a modest 2 inch heel. Wear what you want to.

http://offbeatbride.com/ you might find this site entertaining! Veils used to be worn so the man couldn't see his arranged brides face before they were marrried- so he couldn't run away! Back in the days were daughters were used as currency!

You are the one who is paying for the outfit, and you are the one who is going to be wearing it. You should stick to your guns and wear what you want to.

It's your wedding day; you cam wear whatever you want! My friend is tall and she wore flip flops on her wedding day so she wouldn't be taller than her husband. She also didn't wear a veil, only a tiara. She looked gorgeous. Just wear what makes you the most comfortable! It's all about the bride and groom!!

you do not have to wear a veil or shoes, megan fox didnt wear shoes or a veil on her big day, you make your own decisions for the big day

It is your wedding you can do whatever you want, weddings of today altar their wedding to suit their personality and wants where as traditional weddings were very much you didn't have much say, my cousin got married this year and it was a beach theme she couldn't have it at the beach so she had the beach come to church and we all (bride and bridesmaids) walked down the isle barefooted and she didn't wear a veil either and she looked so beautiful!! I say don't let people pressure you as it is your day not theirs if they wore a veil and shoes on their day then that's them, but do you really want to look back at your wedding photos and just detest what your wearing? and if you only plan on getting married once then do it your way, again this is YOUR wedding you are the bride you should be telling people how you want it, not the other way around. I cannot stress this enough do what you want to do if you want a simple wedding have a simple wedding ignore anyone else who says differently, don't be like my sister in law and later regret what she wore as now she won't even look at her wedding photos and calls herself an ugly bride (which she wasn't) again its your day. And Congratulations :D

You can do whatever you want:) It's YOUR wedding day! You could maybe just wear a pretty clip in you hair or something:) I also would not want to wear 5 inch heels but maybe like some simple flats.
