Need help with a veil and/or blusher!

And here are ideas that I'm thinking of what to do with my hair

Personally, I LOVE blushers. I just think they are so bridal and romantic. My DHs one request (out side of good food and lots of it!) was that I wore a veil with "that front part" because he didn't know what it was called. If you want a long veil you can easily get a light and fairly sheer one and then you should be able to see the sparkles through it, plus you will likely take the veil off pretty soon. I wore a cathedral length veil (that my mom and I made) and I loved it.

@ Reggie - was your cathedral veil and blusher one piece or two separate pieces? Do you have a picture of it together?

I do agree with your MOH, the train of your dress is gorgeous and a long veil might take away from that. Unless you find a sheer cathedral length one? I am have the same issue with my dress. So I had to go with a fingertip veil, although I originally wanted chapel/floor length. I think you can a little bit longer than the veil you have on in the pictures, but not by too much.

I'm no expert, and I think you should do what makes you happiest. This is just what I've heard about blushers, and I am not having one myself. I've heard from people that wore one that if their wedding was outdoors, the wind pressed the blusher up against their face and they didn't find those pictures so flattering. Other said they were sweaty feeling and parts of the blusher again sort of stuck to their face. If you don't think either will occur, then there shouldn't be anything to worry about!

I love you dress and think the lace on the veil compliments it very well. I do see your concern with the cut off. Maybe just getting a different style for the blusher would work? I'm not sure about how to fix that part. Best of luck!

My veil was all one piece. It was lovely and since it was light and sheer it wore very well. It was moderately windy during the ceremony and didn't bother me a bit. Actually, I almost forgot it was there until he reached to lift it. I think a sheer long veil can sometimes actually show the back of a dress better because it doesn't give you that line where a short veil stops. Plus, really you only wear it for the ceremony. People will see your dress all night long. So if you enjoy the long veil then why not?

I don't have a picture right now but I'll try to find one.

My personal preference is a long Catherdral veil. I think a sheer one will allow the details of your dress to shine through. I think its all a matter of personal preference. I have always envisioned a long train and a long veil.

I think a cathedral veil with simple ends would look really nice and not take away from your dress. If the one you are wearing now was a cathedra with the lace ends, I think the design would draw your eyes away from the train.

I think a cathedral veil might take away from your dress. If you do cathedral it needs to be sheer. I wish I had a picture of mine, because I had a cathedral train with a detailed back, and I wore a veil.

I have no veil input, I just wanted to compliment your dress. IT'S GORGEOUS and very flattering!! Good luck with the veil dilemma :-)

Thank you Nena - I'm in love with the dress and this veil dilemma has been going on for a few months. The other problem is that it's hard to try on veils at other places without the dress to see it all together and I don't like the selection the place has where my dress is at.

@Nicole - what you are saying makes a lot of sense but it's hard for me to picture a 'simple' cathedral.

@ Roweira - I wish I could see your cathedral train on your detailed back!

They make 2 tier veils one at the fingertip length and the other at the blusher length. Take a look around etsy they are many great vendors on there for veils!
