Candlelight colored dress....ivory or white veil???

Not sure I understand candlelight, but that's probably b/c the dress looks white in the photo. If you can't get something that matches, I would just make sure whatever you have is of a complementary tone. For example, if "candlelight" has a yellowish tone, go for something that is similarly yellowish, if not the same shade than from the same spectrum. Make sense?

Try searching for Diamond White. This is a popular white in between white and ivory.

They have some here:

Beautiful dress btw! I think a cathedral length would be gorgeous with it!

Michelle-Thanks for the website!

J&R-Yes! This is my debate also. In photos the dress looks more white than it is. There is a slight yellowish tone to it when looking at the dress on a hanger. So I have bounced back and forth on a veil. I should really just take the dress to a boutique to try on veils but I'm really set on the one online.

I say take the dress to a bridal shop to compare and find the best fit. Your dress is beautiful!

Michelle- The website you linked to me (http://www.wedding-veil.com/color_samples.html) has free color swatches they will send you to match up to dress. How cool is that That will help since the dress is being altered at the moment and I'm anxious to purchase a veil.

Kerri- Thank you!!

I'd go with diamond white and the dress is very pretty!

Wow, that's your mom's dress??? Looks great!

Are there any vintage bridal shops in your area? Maybe finding something used would work out well...?

Good luck - you look absolutely stunning! How special to be able to wear your mom's dress!

What did you end up with? I have the same dilemma. My dress is off white and the only veil I liked with my dress is ivory. In person, you can hardly tell a difference. In photos, the flash makes the dress look whiter.
