Veil Help

Hello, everyone! I need some help in picking a veil that goes with my dress. I tried on a lace fingertip veil at the shop in the States where I'm from, but I wanted to go veil shopping with my bridesmaids/fiance in the country where we live (Korea). Unfortunately, I found out that this really isn't a thing, and most rent their veils here, or at least the process isn't as in-depth for brides as it is stateside (a lot of weddings here are still split between a white wedding dress and wedding hanbok, Korean traditional clothing, as well). Because of this, I'm probably going to turn to etsy for my veil, but I'd like more experienced brides' opinions on what kind of veil I should choose.



Do you think the shorter veil works? Would a longer weil with lace work with the plainer skirt? I feel like I'm flying a bit blind here and would really appreciate any and all opinions/thoughts. Thank you! ♡

    I personally would like a longer veil with that dress just to show more detail toward the bottom. But the short veil works as well.

    I think a shorter veil would be nice or a simpler long veil. I think the long veil in the photo takes away from the beautiful beading and lace work of the dress. But that's just my taste! Nice to see another international bride and interracial also! 🌍🌎🌏

    Your dress is so beautiful Ashley! I think the fingertip length is perfect, but you could also go with a veil that's longer than your dress!!

    I also think a plain tulle veil could look great with your dress because it wouldn't distract from the beautiful lace on your gown! Smiley love

    I think the length you tried on is perfect, and the lace detail is lovely because it falls where the skirt is plain, so doesn’t compete with the beautiful lace back!


    On a side note, hanboks are so beautiful! I gather they have heaps of layers of tulle/fabric underneath to get them that shape so I’m always curious whether they are heavy or comfortable! One day when the world is properly open again I’ll have to visit and find out!

    The more expensive the Hanbok, the more comfortable it is, as it's made of better and softer material. It's more comfortable than a wedding dress, though, lol. If you do visit someday, I recommend going to Insadong. You can support local clothing makers and buy a modern hanbok (the skirts are especially gorgeous and many are shorter for summer). I hope people can visit again soon!
    Also, thanks for your help Smiley smile

    Thank you! I was looking and some longer horsehair veils because they still frame the dress without detracting from the lace/beading.


    The international part is usually great♡ For wedding planning and getting my parents over here, though, Corona has been a nightmare. But I'm so happy to have found my person♡

    Thank you♡ It was a discontinued dress and it fit me perfectly, so I got really lucky in the choosing process because I could take it back to Korea with me.
    I agree about a more plain veil working better! Thank you for your help♡
