I was told the other day by a good friend of mine that you are supposed to remove your vail after the ceremony, before going to the reception. Does anyone know the proper wedding etiquette for this? My wedding is in 5 weeks, and I need an answer. Thanks.

yeah you are simply because it does get in the way, when you want to dance or eat or anything

Yes!

There is no proper etiquette for it. Most women get rid of it simply because it is a hassle to deal with throughout the reception (eating, dancing, people getting caught in it while hugging, etc). However, if you want to continue to wear it during your reception, there is no etiquette against it. I wore mine to my reception, mostly because I wanted it in my wedding pictures through the reception, and because my hair was very intricately done so it might have messed it up to take it out. Hope that helps.

it’s really up to you
there is no proper etiquette of doing this
if you want it off, then feel free to do so

There is no ’supposed to’, it’s your choice. I had a fingertip veil, which I wore back, and I kept it on throughout the reception - it didn’t get in the way at all.
I figured I had only one day to wear it, so I was going to keep my veil and gown on the whole time!

Like the woman above said, there is no “etiquette” for it. Do whatever you are comftable with. I’m planning on taking mine off, just for the basis of it will get in the way! I’m making sure i have photos of me at the ceremony with it on, and at the reception with it off! I will have some photos taken in a room above the reception room once we arrive with my veil on too.
Congrats on the wedding! &Best wishes for a great future.

I’ve seen brides wear their veils throughout their reception. I took mine out because the main tier was 144″ long . It’s a personal choice, and has nothing to do with etiquette. I had a very complicated updo and just asked my hairdresser to demonstrate before hand how to remove it so I didn’t do anything to the hairstyle. If your hair will be elaborately done, ask your hairdresser the same if you plan on removing it.

There is no “etiquette” regarding this; it’s a personal choice. Most women do take them off after the ceremony. I hadn’t planned on taking mine off, but once I got to the reception and started dancing, it was annoying me! Plus with everyone hugging me and congratulating me, it was starting to come loose anyway. Do whatever you want.

It’s your day, so what you say goes. I kept my veil on because I thought it was more romantic. My cousin not only took hers off, but changed into a t-shirt and jeans for her reception! (I admit, that was a little weird). Another cousin didn’t wear hers for the reception. Do whatever makes you happy!
