Veil, tiara, hair vine, hair comb, modern or traditional? What are you doing?

I thought I wouldn't wear a veil until she put one on me with my dream dress. It really made that the 'wow! This is the real deal!' Moment. Until then I was just trying on pretty dresses.

I thought I wouldn't wear a veil until she put one on me with my dream dress. It really made that the 'wow! This is the real deal!' Moment. Until then I was just trying on pretty dresses. After that moment I truly felt like a bride. Like this was really happening. And my hair and makeup looked not so great! So that will tell you how much it affects the look. What have you decided on for hair and accesories with your dress and is it modern or traditional? I've made a 2 tier white full fingertip length veil that I'm now beading with Swarovski crystals, Pearls and pearlescent seed beads. Although I am making a pearl and wire hair vine just for fun in case I change my mind or can somehow incorporate that too.

    I love this dress. after seeing the Same thing over and over and over white, white and more white it's nice to see some color. My wedding dress has a light sand colored charmeuse under dress with an ivory lace overlay. Much more traditional than yours but not at all what I'm seeing on every other bride either. I thought a ball gown and a veil would be my dream and after a couple months of dreaming it's kind of yawn at this point. Point being I love that you're going non traditional and I hope you show the finished look with dress and headpiece.

    I cant believe you got that from wish. Idk how it feels in person (flimsy or not) but it photographs really well and looks really nice and that's really all that matters if it's not something u intend to pass down.

    I will be doing a simple veil with a tiara for the ceremony and only a tiara for the reception. Most likely my hair will be up. The tiara matches the leaves on my dress.

    I wore something in my hair similar to the first picture, with no veil. Some people on here have talked about doing hair pieces and veils.

    I'm not sure how any of this veil stuff works, lol!

    My dress is chapel length (which... I keep seeing different dimensions online for what actually qualifies as chapel? but it's decently long), so I'd like to get a beaded cathedral-length veil.

    I'll be taking the veil off for the reception, so I'm thinking I should get some sort of pretty hair clip thing to slide into where the veil was?

    I wasn't even planning on wearing a veil, but after trying the dress on with one, I was sold!
