Black Veil?

I say go for the black veil! I've never seen it before but it sounds gorgeous, plus it's something you want.

Pinterest has lots of photos with a white dress and black veil. Here’s a couple I found:

Hey Emily!

I love this idea! I think a black veil would look absolutely amazing, and it definitely sounds like it would suit your personality!

Have you ever made a veil before?

Nope, never made a veil before but I have a little sewing experience and my mom made her entire wedding dress and veil so I think between the two of us it shouldn't be THAT hard. She absolutely hates the idea of me in a black veil or any black on me when I told her what I wanted. I just don't want it to be so out of place with my ivory and peach dress.

Personally, I think it will look amazing!

Have you checked out Pinterest for some examples of what it could look like?

View Quoted Comment I have but besides 1 or 2 things I'm not finding much. I might be searching the wrong thing... everything I'm finding is a black and white dress. I'm planning on going to the store this weekend and seeing if I can find a lace I like..

That's a great idea! Have you thought about what style of veil you would like to wear?

I'm wearing the Rebecca Ingram's Zelda dress, it doesn't have a very long train so I was thinking I'd wear a fingertip length veil in ivory with the black trim around the edges. I just want something that matches the style of lace with the sequined crosshatching that drew me to the dress to begin with. It's a pretty warm colored dress though and I'm worried that if I find something too cool a color black it's going to look out of place. I found a beautiful dark grey lace that would have been perfect on Etsy but it's almost blue looking... that wouldn't work at all.

WOW your dress is beautiful! I totally know what you mean about not wanting the tone of your veil to be too cool. Have you gotten your dress yet?

Yep. I took it home the day I found it for a 40% off sample sale! Best deal ever! Less than 500 dollars. It's currently sitting at my mom's house waiting until a closer day for alterations. Some of the beading needs to be tacked back on since it was a sample. I just don't want to go through all the trouble of having this great idea and making my veil only to put it with my dress and it clash completely. I keep thinking I'll find some pictures of a black lace that screams at me like the lace on my dress did.
