Urgent - Custom veil. Pictures - Help needed!

Laura, on May 3, 2020 at 10:29 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7

I have a custom veil being made (one of the benefits of a 5 person wedding). She has lace that matches the bodice of my dress. But she wants to know how I want to wear it. I want my hair down for my wedding.

So mantilla or traditional comb (gathered at the back)?

Here's my dress.

#`1. Comb at the back.

#2. Mantilla...

    If you want the veil to be the star attention grabber, then mantilla style would be good for that.


    However, if you wanted to have any sort of hair bling or fancy updo, the comb option might be better since it is slightly pulled back from your face.

    I’m not a fan of the mantilla look and think that something more traditional would compliment your dress better.

    I think mantilla veils are a lot of drama, but if that's the part you want to highlight than go for it! Given your dress though, I would say a more understated veil would really allow your dress to shine.

    I feel like you dress is the star of the show, so I vote for comb in the back. A lace mantilla veil with a lace dress like yours can overwhelm the bride.

    It depends on what you're going for and how you want to style your hair. Do you want the veil to be the attention? If so then go for the mantilla. If not then I would stay traditional.

    I’ve never really enjoyed the mantilla look, but for this dress I feel like the mantilla really might be too much and take away from your dress. So I vote for the comb back one.
