Veil Dilemma

Philippa, on January 15, 2020 at 8:41 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide what style of veil will go best with my dress! I bought this one from davids bridal:
Veil Dilemma 1
I love the idea of a short veil trimmed with lace, but just as much the idea of natural flowers in my hair, paired with a super simple veil. It's important to me that I'll be able to cover my face with the veil (i know, old fashioned). My mom is super sweet and talented and is making the veil for me, I just have to tell her what I want!

Her advice has been that lace will cover up the lace detailing on the back of the dress, so I should either go for a slightly longer veil or no lace edge.
Which of these do you think would look best??1) Lace trim below waist (note, I would have second tier)Veil Dilemma 2
2) Flowers on top of simple veil (this is my favorite look, but how would I cover my face with the veil?)Veil Dilemma 3

3) Flower crown with thin veil on top Veil Dilemma 4

4) Side flowers with more traditional veil Veil Dilemma 5

Suggestions would be appreciated too!

    Personally the first option I feel would be best. I think for sheath style dresses a longer veil is a nice effect and if the lacing is on the edge it will not distract the dress in my opinion rather add a nice pop to it.

    I like #4. Your dress is gorgeous & very detailed. If you go w too much lace & detail in the veil it might be a bit much & distract from the dress.

    By the way, my wedding will be in the mountains, at a state park or barn, with a very natural, citrus theme. So I worry a lace veil will be a little out of place?
