considering whether you should wear a veil or not? while a cathedral veil would look magical during wedding portraits as it blows in the breeze, i’ve got to take the practical approach on this one. unless your veil is long & weighted down by lace, embroidery, etc. it will likely blow into your face during the seaside ceremony & may create an unwanted distraction. i’d recommend opting for statement earrings or a fun hair accessory instead!
