Which veil?

This veil or that one... Scattered pearls... or Shoulder length cut edge.
3rd choice: The expected cathedral length cut edge or simple pearl edge in plain ivory? - My wedding dress back is shown here; I have a plunge in the front, the elaborate back, and appliques going down the back of the skirt and at the hem. It's complicated; dress photo is also attached.

    Maybe an elbow length would be better because that's where the back stops being sheer? I really just want to figure this out so I can move on - thank you for being so patient with me and replying so often. It means a lot.

    No problem. I think ultimately it's what you prefer. I think fingertip is standard length that can go with any style.

    I always heard to look for a natural break in the dress - such as a pattern ending, or a change to different fabric or detail as a clue to where the veil should end. Maybe I should google - or go visit my dress (it's at the salon) and see what looks good with it. Ha! You're awesome - and having no family here is really hard.

    So my veil has some pearls scattered in it, so I'm always partial to them! I would go see if they'll let you try your dress on with a veil. A fingertip veil you might be able to keep on for longer, but my chapel veil is really for the ceremony and pictures. The back of your dress is sheer, so I think a fingertip veil would be pretty and kind of showcase the back of your dress.

    I'm a huge fan of a cathedral veils.
    If you get one longer than your dress, it will not hide the details on the back of your gown because of the way it will hang and flow as you walkSmiley smile

    Congratulations!❤

    I’m not sure but it looks like the 2nd veil would hit in the middle of the details on the back. So I like the 1st one that is longer and will not break up the beautiful back.

    I Think The First One Would Flow Well With The Skirt Of Your Dress.

    I can imagine and I am sorry that you are planning a lot of this on your own. I am getting a cathedral style veil and considering working with Blanca Veils. The owner suggested this link to help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo8_VwRKEsY

    Yay! How exciting. So glad it worked out and it must feel good to check something off your to do list. I like that description "it's like wearing the stars" Keep that feeling on the wedding day

    Oh so much yes! We laugh because we met during a Mercury retrograde - it's a woo thing. But, then evenings and moonlight became special too. When we met he was always asking me what the planets and stars were up to and I'd laugh and answer him. He still does that and I still love that he does. I mention on our website that I teased him that I couldn't meet him in person while Mercury was retrograde because sometimes a woman needs to know that the universe has her back. So... wearing the stars is perfection. My sons agree - they both said it reminds them of stars too. I told my FH that on my wedding day I wanted to be the moon - we stayed up all night on so many nights talking that the moon kept us company. His family (I found out later) -- the guys in his family like the topic of wolves. So, it totally works. We're goofy and I love it! Smiley heart Thank you for helping me find the magic I was missing.

    Here's everything! I bought 2 shoes, earrings, bracelets because the veil came in under budget. Now, I can just try it all on and pick a vibe! Smiley heart All accessories $215 - total! I'm in love - the ivory shoes were under $50 and the rose gold shoes were $15 on sale and so comfortable!
