Should I leave my engagement ring at home if it doesn't match my theme?

My engagement ring has a canary diamond, and my wedding theme is mostly red and burgundy. I feel as though yellow clashes badly with red. Should I leave my ring at home because of this?

Who should sit at the top table if the bridal party have all got partners?

My bridal party is made up of several friends, my sister, my finance's sister, and also his brother. Everyone has their individual partners, who are invited to the wedding. Some are being stubborn and want to sit with their partners, but that'll make my top table huge. But if they sit at other tables with their partners, my top table will suddenly have nobody. Are there ways around this? I don't really want to sit alone, but having a huge top table doesn't really sit well with me.

Vegan and celiac guests - they can't eat the cake I've chosen, so what do I give them?

A few of my guests are vegan and gluten intolerant. They've specified on the RSVP that they'll bring their own dessert, but I feel like this cheapens my wedding. What do I give them if they can't eat the cake I've chosen?

My hair is probably too short to attach a veil. Are there any other options?

I have a pixie cut (like a boy hair cut, but for a girl), and I'm thinking it's too short for a veil. Am I right? and what else could I wear that would be suitable?
