Clueless About Veils

Clueless About Veils 1
I am realizing that I'm clueless about veils and have zero idea what veil should go with this dress 🤔 I'm pretty sure I want cathedral length (bc I'm a little "extra" as my FH says 😂), but I don't know if it should be simple tulle or tulle with embellishments along the edges similar to those on my dress. Also, I'm thinking I should go with the ivory color of the lace on my dress? Or should I go with a color between the ivory of the lace and the moscato of the underlay? Thanks guys!!!

    I’m always for embellishments. I would do ivory to match the lace.

    Thanks Mrs. S! I love the idea of embellishments too! I'm just trying to figure out how far to go with them so as but to take away from the dress 🤔 This is more difficult than I expected lol

    Yes, I agree it needs embellishments! If it could be close to matching the lace in your dress that would be so pretty! And either a chapel or cathedral length would look stunning. 😊

    Thanks Marisa! So I bought one with lace similar to my dress on Amazon and took a few pics with the dress but idk if it looks right 🤦🏽‍♀️ What do you think? The train on my dress isn't fully pulled out but it's the best of I could get with my 8 year old's help 😂.... Do you think maybe I need a thinner edge of embellishments?Clueless About Veils 2

    Bahaha!! Thank you! That's why she's my mini maid of honor ❤️ She's good at making sure I'm well put together 😂.... And thanks! Maybe I'll just stick with this one then. It was only $30 on Amazon!

    I may think very out of the box, but my dress was a somewhat like yours. I just loved my dress. I didn't want anything to take away from my dress. I also wanted to go very extra on my wedding. Mine was a cathedral veil but it was very simple. I didn't want anything to take away from the dress. I noticed, when trying on dresses, that the veil was making the dress. I didn't want that. It was just veil and it was perfect. Plus it cost me 17 cents on ebay. Couldn't be anything more awesome than that lol. But this is what i think.

    Anna, that's exactly what I was starting to feel when I tried the veil on with the dress, like the additional lace on the veil was taking away from the dress somewhat. Maybe once I go to the bridal shop for alterations and try on more veils with the dress, I'll get a better feel for all my options? Thanks for the advice! Do you happen to have any pics of you in the dress wearing the veil?

    Hey, I'm sorry it took too long to reply back. But, I was waiting for my pictures to come back. I dont have all of those but she sent me some sneak peeks. I did love my veil and how it didnt take away from my dress. My dress was way to pretty and expensive to not be shown.Clueless About Veils 3
