Veil or no veil?

Honour, on July 28, 2019 at 7:40 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 24
This is my 2nd marriage, my dress is black and I cannot decide on a veil or not. I would like my hair half up and half down. I have scars on my back I want to hide but dont want to hide the detail of my dress. I am at a loss, please help!! Also with what earrings too, white diamonds or black?

    You are stunning. You look like you're about to roam a castle and attend a ball!
    I guess my sole concern with a veil is that it'd be a little harder to match the dress color. But a finger tip or shoulder length veil would add some demention, cover the back, but not take away. The train is so long an lush looking I can't imagine a short veil would take away from it.

    A shorter veil should work fine with your dress! For the earrings, I vote white diamonds. I love your dress so much, by the way!

    Thank you Kelly and Cher. I can find black tulle veils on etsy to hopefully match

    Shelly I am a sucker for veils as well, I didnt wear one for my first marriage since my mother was dead set against that marriage. So I went simple!

    I think a short veil would like nice if you go with one. That dress is beyond STUNNING and you wear it well. The back of your dress to the bottom of the train is just too gorgeous to have anything overflowing it.

    Maybe a birdcage in black? Could make for some beautiful up close pictures!

    I also wearing Zander in black and am considering a cape veil in nude/dark champagne with black lace or detailing. I'm waiting until the dress comes in to really see the underlayment color to match. A black veil is too much.

    I want the one attached but it's $1200 used, $2400 new!!

    Omg this was the first dress I tried on! It’s absolutely gorgeous and looks great on you! I would definitely go with a short veil or a birdcage, let the dress do the talking!

    Hey Honour! Have you made a decision on whether you will wear a veil or not?

    Yes, I wore a black veil just a bit longer than the train with a silver comb. Thank you for your help!

    I agree with Cher on both! Can your dress shop order a veil in the same color? Love your dress so much!
