Veil or no veil?

Stunning gown!! Honestly, I don't believe you need anything more. Let that back be seen. Congratulations!!

That dress is stunning!!! It has a beautiful shape, and I love the sleeves! I think you could either do the veil or skip it. Either way, the dress shines.


My dress was somewhat similar, in the way of dress shape and a long detailed train. Here's what my dress looked like without the veil:
I initially was going to do a fingertip veil that had beading along the edges, but ended up with a cathedral veil that was sparkly. Here's what the dress and veil looked like together (not the best angle of the train and veil, but this is the best non-professional photo that I have of it):
I loved having the veil, and we took some photos with it, and some without it. If you have it in your budget and if you feel like you'd regret not having a veil, I think it's worth it! If justifying the cost is the only factor standing in the way, you can find cheaper veils that are either pre-owned on Facebook Marketplace (or Facebook wedding resale groups), or even new on Amazon. Otherwise, go with the look (veil or no veil) that you feel the best with.

Maybe you can experiment with a shoulder length veil. I think it could balance out the wide train at the bottom. I found this one on BHLDN.

I personally like it with the veil!

Personally, I'm a huge fan of veils! They add so much to the look, and they create a great element for photos! Mine had lace appliques down the sides, and the bottom had a floral lace border that extended past the train of my dress. It was gorgeous for our ceremony and pictures afterwards, then I took it off for the reception when my dress got bustled.

I was so against a veil and opting for a cape. Then my MIH talked me into trying one on. I tried o. A cathedral length drake and I fell on love. I think it will accentuate your dress especially the mermaid style.

I think a waltz length veil would be ideal since it wouldn't cover over the gorgeous lace

I LOVED wearing a veil. I say go for it - there aren't a lot of occasions in your life to wear something so fun

Oh I would definitely go with the long veil - it looks incredible!
