Am i being a perfectionist?

Courtney, on June 22, 2020 at 11:29 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21
So I got a custom made veil done and I got to pick out the tulle color, embroidery and lace! I just received pictures and a video of my veil. I love the embroidery and the lace, but the veil has sort of a point shape to it. I'm not sure if it's just from the picture (I haven't seen it in person yet), or if it's actually how it's made. I know this is a custom Veil, but just not sure if this looks odd or if I'm being too picky. Lately I've been finding myself being picky over things as we get closer to our wedding date. I don't want to make small things, into something big, but I want to make sure it will look right with my dress before I receive it in the mail and then won't have time to make changes. Is it just me? Am I being picky? Or does the shape seem odd/like a triangle? I've also attached a picture of my dress. Thanks ☺️Am i being a perfectionist? 1

    It’s so pretty with your dress! When you’re walking down the aisle it won’t appear so pointy in that shape anyway

    Definitely looks triangular. Did the seamstress ask what kind of design you wanted?

    I think it's the way she has it in the picture. after seeing your dress, I think it will look lovely and will be a showstopper.
    When you walk, it will stretch out behind you. It will be fluid looking and flowy and quite unique and trendy.
    Looks like , she just wanted to show you the design.I'd go for it! Honestly!

    I have to agree with Caytlyn. It's going to come to a point, and not pool out the way a traditional veil would. It's the way it's cut and the way the bottom embroidery is sewn to the veil. Do you have time for her to make changes?

    Yes I was wondering if it was the picture as well. She did tell me that it's overall an oval shape with a point end. Thank you! Maybe I just need to relax!

    Yes I do love the embroidery. I originally was supposed to get different embroidery but it wasn't going to come in time with shipping so she video called me and I picked some out of the store she was in so I was wondering if it is just the embroidery. I thought about asking her about the changes but if I did , I wonder if it will look like something extra was sewn on. Not sure how to explain it, but she did say it was overall an oval shape but the end has a point.

    I just told her I wanted chapel length and I picked out the other parts of the design , but I didn't know there were different cuts for chapel length veils. I've only seen that for shorter veils, but when I asked about it thinking maybe it was the picture, she did say that it's overall an oval shape but the end has a point. In the picture, it looks like the sides are pointed but I don't think they actually are.

    No. You’re not being picky. There is a definite point. But it’s different, unexpected and I like it. With a gold and white dress, having a unique veil is perfect.

    I think it might also be the stiffness of the tulle. It'll probably soften up after you let it relax in the open air.
