Fingertip or cathedral veil?

Penelope, on February 9, 2019 at 6:13 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

Ladies, I need your help please! I can't decide on fingertip or cathedral veil. My train has so much detail on it and I'm worried about it getting covered by the cathedral veil but then I also love how dramatic it is. Here is a photo.

    That train is amazing! But I don’t think a cathedral veil would take away from it. Veils are very sheer so you’d still be able to see the train underneath.

    Cathedral! In my opinion, cathedral veils give that wow factor & only add to the dress.

    I prefer the fingertip. The cathedral veil can take away from the dress.

    I had the same dilemma!! I say fingertip as I felt the cathedral did take away from my dress that has a similar bottom to your dress. However, you will look beautiful either way, but i vote fingertip 😊

    I had the same problem! My train is so intricate that I do not want to cover it up but I also just love the look of longer veils. I found on Etsy that there are veils that are “waltz” length. This length goes down close to the floor, but it does not drag so it won’t cover the train at all. I just think it’s perfect for people who are torn between fingertip and cathedral. Here’s an example from Pinterest.

    I think a sheer fingertip would be lovely, but you can also do cathedral. As someone else indicated, I think the sheer part is the key. Good luck!

    I have a serial train with 3D floral and I am doing a cathedral veil to add that extra WOW factor 💕 I think you can do whichever length and still look amazing!

    I think cathedral veil will be stunning with your dress. It would frame your curve hugging dress.

    Thank you all for your responses and suggestions I appreciate it! I think now I'm leaning towards the fingertip because the two wedding dresses I was deciding from was the one I chose and another that had a gorgeous bodice but plain tulle train. I ended up picking my dress based on it's train and so I can show it. But the cathedral veil would be stunning in photos. I'm like 60/40 right now lol
