Veil or no veil?

This is my dress and my hair from my hair trial. Should I wear a veil or not and also do I need shape wear with my dress?

    If it makes you feel more comfortable then do the shapewear! You don't want to feel uncomfortable on your big day because that does show in pictures! Also, I think you should do a veil it would look amazing with your beautiful dress!!

    Okay. Thank you! I’ve been looking at veils and I think I found one I like! I’ve also read where you should have shape wear with a mermaid/trumpet dress, but I’ve been told by family and friends that they don’t think I will need it

    My friend wore a dress like yours and she wore shapewear, she said she was glad she went that route because even though we all thought she didn't need it she felt so much more comfortable and confident. So it's up to you! Maybe try on the dress with shapewear and see how you feel?

    I'm usually all about veil! But your hair and the hair piece does look really nice, so you could do without it. Your dress also has a nice beautiful train and depending on the veil, you don't want to hide that!

    With your overall look, I say no on the veil!

    Oh my goodness your dress is stunning!! 😍

    You could skip a veil completely, or wear a veil that attaches right underneath your hair accessory! ✨

    Also I don't think you need shapewear at all in that dress - but it's up to you!

    The dress is beautiful!


    My vote is no veil especially since you have a back tattoo and I'm a fan of showing off the hours of work that go into one.
    However a veil that clips in under the hair piece would look nice too.

    I’m thinking a veil under the headpiece if I decide to go with one.

    I am team veil! Nothing too busy, something simple, maybe a 1 or 2 tier fingertip length without lace or beading.

    I'm all for going with what you want! I think you could honestly go veil or no veil.

    However, in the words of my mother (who owned a bridal store for 23 years) "you need a veil, if you don't wear a veil you're just wearing a pretty dress" - This was yelled at me when I told her I didn't want one.

    I am now wearing a veil at the ceremony and removing it for the reception lol

    I’m typically “no veil” but with your dress I would definitely do a veil!

    I'd do a veil with a lacy edge
