Veil/headpiece with a purple dress?

Maybe this will bump my post out of the Great Nothingness...

LMAO @ taco bell wrapper. Beautiful dress!

I'd go with a birdcage or headband.

Beautiful dress! I suggest an ivory or white veil with Plum color silk "rattail" or ribbon edge. And there are many more to chose from, all can be done with a colored edge. I think black would be way too much! Attached is a photo of one of my clients with Burgundy-edged veil; very pretty!

For example, a veil like this can be customized (just e-mail a request for a plum color edge): http://forprincessbride.com/store/product127.html

I second th white veil with purple trim. Lovely dress!

I think an ivory birdcage veil would be really cute, possibly with some feather or flower on the side

I think your dress is beautiful, simple, and elegant. I would just go with some flowers to the side maybe matching your bouquet.

If you are looking into birdcage type, this might also work, but only in Ivory! http://forprincessbride.com/store/product725.html

I say no veil but go with a flower or a supper shiny head band. LOVE the dress

I wore a pink dress, with white pearls, from David's Bridal. I had a white veil custom ordered from them with the exact pink trim color. It looked totally pulled together, because I did not like the all white one with a pink dress. HTH.

When is your wedding? Daytime? Evening?

I'd go black or the deep purple if it were evening, but probably ivory or white if it were daytime.

I like the idea of a birdcage veil or adorned headband best.

Irina, that's a great idea for the veil! Now if I could get one to stay on my head for more than five minutes...short hair. Blergh. There are some super cute tiaras on your site too, like this one: http://forprincessbride.com/store/product386.html Thanks everyone!

I agree with the headband.. I think a veil would look strange with that dress... even a birdcage veil.

I think if it's daytime: go with an ivory birdcage.

For evening, a black birdcage would be awesome!

Let me preface this with the fact that I love really striking looks. I love the idea of a chapel or cathedral length black mantilla veil. I'm not sure how you feel about not having a train on your dress (which is amazing by the way) but I think a really long black mantilla veil would give you the look of a train and really compliment the dress.

Wow, I love that black mantilla! But I'm thinking a deep purple dress and a black veil might be a little much, as Irina said. A little too goth for what I'm going for. Great suggestions for goth-inclined brides, though. There are some here...

I think I playful facinator would be perfect - love this one!

LOL Jessica I have that same one in my Etsy favorites!

@Miss Michal: thank you for your compliment on that headband tiara; that particular one is by En Vogue. If you think the long veil would not stay put in your hair because you think it would be too heavy, maybe a different, "new" type of birdcage veil would be the solution! This one has 2 combs on each side (that will add more secure fit) and it's extremely lightweight: http://forprincessbride.com/store/product788.html. Also, an interesting side piece would do the trick: attached is a photo of one of my clients with extremely short hair, and she had a side feathered piece that stayed put without any problems! It has to be light though, so feathers/flowers are good, but crystals/metal/silver ornaments will make it heavy!

Thanks! I'm thinking I'm not really a birdcage girl. I really like the purple-tipped veil idea, and perhaps I'll come up with a way (staples?) to keep it on my noggin. Otherwise, the tiara/headband by itself would be super cute.
