Veil help please ladies

Gloria, on May 10, 2019 at 8:46 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19
Hi everyone I’m having a hard time finding a veil to match my dress. Not to mention the stress of not having my actual dress come in yet.I know that I definitely want a cathedral length veil as my dress has a pretty long train as is and I just love the look of cathedral veils in pictures!My dress has a beaded bodice and some sparkle in the tulle bottom so I was thinking of going for maybe a simpler veil with some beading around the edge as to not over do it. But I haven’t liked any of the veil I’ve seen so far. I thought finding the dress was going to be the hard part! Any of you ladies have a dress with lots of detail like mine? What type of veil did you guys go for?

    I bought a cathedral length veil from the same shop where I bought my dress. The lace pattern on the edges of the veil matches the lace pattern on the skirt of my dress. I tried them on together during my visit and it was a match made in heaven so I couldn’t NOT get it, too haha

    Did you try on veils where you bought your dress? They should have several options for you and at least one they recommend for your dress in particular.

    Try amazon, eBay and aliexpress. I ordered a veil on aliexpress that is stunning! I’m not using it ultimately but I was very impressed.

    Gloria, your dress is so beautiful!! What color is it?Smiley love

    Have you visited the bridal salon that you bought your dress from? They may be able to show you veils that they would pair with your dress.

    Thank you!It is champagne color but I did order it in Ivory/Silver.Yes, actually the bridal consultant brought out a veil for me to try which had a beading edge but I felt that it was a bit too much.Since my dress alreadu has so much going on.I am dead set on getting a cathedral veil but feel a plain one is not gunna have the same effect 😵 ugh
    Im waiting for my dress to come so I can actually see it in the ivory color and maybe have a custom veil made.

    Hey Gloria! I would suggest looking on etsy! There are alot of beautiful and affordable cathedral length veils on etsy, in all sorts of colors and styles!

    I got mine from Julie's Veils on Etsy (<-clickable link) and I am sooo glad I did. I was worried at first that the color wouldn't match my dress, and Julie was more than willing to exchange the veil for a completely new one (at no extra charge, except for return shipping of course). The quality was amazing! And she was able to make me my dream veil that several bridal salons were trying to sell me for atleast $500!

    Edit: It looks like she even makes royal length veils, and custom orders. So the sky is the limit! Smiley smile

    Here are some pics of my veil with my dress... No pics of me wearing them yet!

    Thanks Jenna for your wonderful suggestion!Your dress has romantic vibe all over it ❤!I have defenitely checked Etsy and found some really pretty veils that I think would match my dress.I am just waiting for it to come in so I can get an actual color match.I'm afraid that if I buy it before it will end up not matching up.I defenitely love sparkles and glitz so I have changed my mind and opted for a edge beaded veil 😊

    Hi Sinéad!I actually just found two I really like.The first beaded edged one looks just like the veil I tried on at the bridal shop for $500!The second one has appliques which match the ones on my dress.The designer said said she could also add silver beading to the appliques for me.My dress has not come in yet 😞 Which is stressing me out...So, I unfortunately can't do a color swatch for the veil.I'm thinking an off white color would probably match my dress.I found a video of my dress in the actual "Ivory color" (which is more of an off-white shade) on the designer's website page so I kind of based it on that.😋

    Here's the pics of the veils and the screenshot of my actual dress color swatch.Which veil do you think would go better with my dress?

    Oh my goodness, both of these veils are absolutely stunning!! Either of them would go beautifully with your dress.

    Personally, I think I might like the second veil a little bit more. the detail on the bottom is so different that I really think it would stand out😍

    Yes, I fell in love with the second veil as soon as I saw it but was a bit hesitant at purchasing since I did not know if it would go well with my dress.I think once they add that beading it will match up beautifully. Thanks for your help!💕

    You sure did! 💕
    Thank you again!I will be placing my order today.I want a long length but would you think a 98" to be too short for my dress train.Should I go for the 108" cathedral veil?I'm pretty petite ( 5"1 ) so I am unsure 😕
