Fingertip or Chapel Veil- Help!

Chappel length would be gorgeous but might steal the show from the beautiful details on your dress. I would go with fingertip length, personally.

P.S. seamstress still needs to remove satin sash on back

I vote for fingertip length!! It's universally flattering and will still show off the bottom of your dress!

Your dress is gorgeoussss. I would go with fingertip.

I like fingertip but I’m not a fan of long veils...

I vote chapel! I’m only 5”0 tall as well and wore a
Cathedral and it was beautiful, don’t worry about it being too big!

I vote chapel. I love the drama of a long veil. If you’re having a reception and not changing you’ll have all night to show off the gown without the veil

You look great!! I personally love the look of Chapel or Cathedral veil. I think a long veil will look good on you. It is just my opinion though since I haven't had a chance to try a wedding dress in person yet. Maybe just try on different types of veils and take pictures and compare?

I think chapel would be beautiful. But for either length, keep it simple (a thin ribbon edge veil no lace).

I'm short and wearing cathedral. Veils are sheer so you don't lose the details of the dress or get drowned in fabric in my opinion. I would try a chapel and see how you like it!

I ended up going with a fingertip since I have such a beautiful, long train. I didn't want to take away from it!

*Not this veil, but just for reference!

View Quoted Comment Great choice. I was always certain I’d gin with cathedral until I really saw a picture of a gown similar to mine with a fingertip and also a cathedral. The fingertip works great bc there’s already that beautiful detail on your dress and tail! Fingertip is equally elegant and does not take away from all that gorgeousness ! Good luck on your upcoming wedding

I think that maybe a two-tiered veil would be a good option to explore. The first tier falling between the shoulders and elbows, and the second layer about the length of a fingertip veil. Two tiers are often overlooked in the statement department.

I say try on a chapel, two-tiered, and fingertip veil, and see how you feel. You look beautiful in your dress, and you have a petite figure. I would say that the only possible way for a veil to "drown you out" is if it has a heavy brocade and is cathedral length, or has heavy horsehair tulle.
