Veil Help!

Stacey, on March 28, 2019 at 8:06 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13
Hi! I need help making some veil decisions. I’ve included some pictures of my dress. Getting married at a winery in California.

Yes or no to a veil?

If yes, what length? Raw edge or pencil edge? I’ve included a pic with what they called finger length pencil trim, but seems to be more in between elbow and fingertip length.

I think I want to wear my hair half up half down, but it usually struggles holding a curl, so maybe all up.

Thanks Ladies!!

    Beautiful dress. I like the veil with your dress but like other people said maybe get one with some lace or rhinestones for bling.

    Yes, I think the length you have on with a thin lace border would be beautiful.

    Also, for your hair...I’m in the same boat. My hair struggles to hold curl but I want a curly sideswept ponytail. I’m going to use extensions. It gives me extra body plus holds the curl much better. Maybe you could consider that also.

    Definitely do the veil. I agree with others that lace on the bottom would be nice. My hair doesn't hold curls at all, so I am going to be doing a sort of "messy" updo.

    I think you need a veil but maybe just not the one pictured

    Your gown is gorgeous!! I design veils. For a romantic, winery wedding I vote for a single layer, long length. Something equal, or longer, to your train. If you want crystals, get them, but they won't be necessary. I'd not do the pencil edge with your gown. It'll make beautiful portraits. You only need wear it during the ceremony and remove as soon as pics are done. I honestly don't think you'll regret it. I'm going to be outside with a cathederal length veil, if that helps. Show us what you decide.

    I love your dress!! My dress is similar and so with an all lace bodice, I decided to do a very basic veil with a pencil edge so it helps stay in place. I think that length is perfect!

    Your dress is gorgeous! I would like to see the veil a bit longer on you - and I would be particular about the lace if you do a lace veil, because the lace of your dress is so specific and modern!

    You could try something that feels a bit botanical, for example:

    Or something with beading:

    Good luck!

    Hi Sinead! I did! A plain raw edge fingertip veil. I had it made to be a little less full than normal too, so a little more sheer.
