Helping picking out a veil!

Probably get a finger-tip veil with lace edging. It helps to have the edges stand out. If you want to try a different look, consider a mantilla, maybe with the same detail of the finger-tip veil. Those should let the dress lace remain prominent too.

An aspect that could affect your choice would be if you want to have photos that use the veil prominently.

Former bridal stylist here! My two cents are to go either with a chapel length ( slightly longer than the train of the dress), or a cathedral length (longer by a foot). You can also have two veils layering each other: One that is around knee length, and the other being cathedral for an elegant look.

Your dress is on the traditional side, and I feel that by going too short, it would take away from the effect of seeing a regal, traditional dress.

If you do have a veil with lace, it needs to match the lace of your dress as closely as possible.

Please, please, please, do not go with a veil with "stretchy" netting as these veils are usually made from cheaper materials and actually obscure either your dress details, or your face, if you are wearing a "blusher" (front veil). Veils should me made from tulle with a very fine, but "stiffer" netting with teeny-tiny holes.

It might be a good idea to take a picture of you trying on veils in both natural light, and in the bridal shop with as close to the lighting as you will have in your venue to see just how much detail of your dress it covers up.

Great you shared back what you chose
