No blusher, or veil, here. Not my style. Nor did it fit the vibe of our wedding. I was not a traditional bride for most part though (no aisle, no one *giving me away* and so on). I did not like idea of being veiled. Just not for me.
I did not get any flack - and would of given a side eye to anyone who did give some - ha! And let us be honest...there was nothing blushing about me! I was not a virgin moving out of her parents to her new husbands for the first time, ha! Just my thoughts but I think you need to do what fits for *you*, whether that means a blusher or not. |

I wanted to add that you will still be a *bride* without a blusher - no one will get confused! You would be a bride even if you wore coveralls! It is not like every bride needs a certain uniform to *be* a bride! After all, all brides are different and can make their *own* tradition.
Your sister can wear a blusher for *her* wedding if she feels it is required to "make a bride". Does not mean you need to. |

I did not have a separate blusher, but my veil did go over my face and then flipped back by my dad. It was sheer and all one piece of tulle, so it was very simple and you could still see my face through it. I think you should do whatever you want and not worry about whether it is expected or not. I personally don''t get why someone would wear a long tulle veil that didn''t go over their face at some point simply because I''m not sure what the point would be other than it being a fake veil, but hey, it doesn''t matter if I get it or not! Nobody is going to judge you one way or the other.

I just re-read your whole post and wanted to add that your dress and look sound very similar to my dress - it was an all lace fit and flare. I think I am the only one of my good friends who wore the veil over my face, but I really don't remember.
My veil is a long piece of tulle lined with lace. It was actually my mother's veil. Originally, it was a cathedral length veil attached to some sort of cap with beading and then another separate blusher attached to the cap... waaaay too fussy for me! She let me use the lace and tulle and transform it into something that fit me. I think the style is called a drop veil. |

I have yet to see a single one of my friends get married with a blusher. I didn''t have one either. I don''t think it is required for one to be bridal. Sooo... are you going to tell us about your gown?  You had a thread a while back about a gown you had put a deposit down at Kleinfeld that was gorgeous, but it was duchess satin! I am curious about what you switched to since you said the one you''re wearing is lace.

I plan to wear a blusher with my cathedral length veil. I was on the fence, but figured it would add a little more drama to my ceremony entrance and my mother really wanted me to wear it. She''s fine either way, but I thought about it and in the grand scheme of things, it''s not that big of a deal for me to please her with this request. For all that my parents have done for me, I put my personal desire aside and have decided to make her happy. (Not in any way saying you should do the same). This is just one of the things that led to my decision to wear a blusher. Also, it doesn''t bother me to wear it, so I suppose it''s not a huge sacrifice.

Ditto to both points. I surprised myself and ended up with a veil, but wearing a blusher never even crossed my mind. |

I will be wearing one, albeit a little grumpily. I don''t think it works will my dress, but it is an important aspect of the Jewish tradition of bedeken, where the groom actually checks to make sure it is his bride and then he brings the blusher down. I may try to see if I can modify a birdcage instead.

But to each her own; vive la difference!
