Veil help!

Veil help! 1
Veil help! 2
This is my dress. I am getting married in Ireland. I originally thought no veil or a birdcage veil but now I don’t know what kind of veil I want. I don’t want to take away form the dress or have too much going on with the sleeves and veil. The back is open down to the waist.
I was thinking maybe a lace cathedral? I would like to incorporate Irish lace if I could. What do you think would be best to accentuate this dress? I can’t decide! 😫

    A lace cathedral sounds lovely✨ A scattered crystal veil or scattered pearl veil looks pretty too✨🤍

    I would either keep it very simple to not detract from the dress details (your bird cage idea would be perfect), or go the complete opposite and go full out with something long and elaborate that can hold its own with the dress. I would avoid short/mid-length veils because they run the risk of looking like an after thought.
    What sort of venue are you getting married in?

    Those are my thoughts as well. I am getting married outside of Waterford castle.

    With a grand venue like that, I would go with a dramatic cathedral veil! And because your dress is so clean and simple, you could really do anything you want with it - lace, crystals, pearls, etc.
    It will look gorgeous in photos; plus, this is likely the only time you will ever have to wear a veil… why not go all out??

    I think the birdcage idea would go nicely, but I also really like the idea of a cathedral length veil. Echoing Cece that you can really go with any design since your dress doesn't have lace or beading or anything that would conflict with any elements in a veil.

    I'd say avoid anything fingertip length so it's not falling right at your sleeves and detracting from them.
