What kind of veil will go with my dress?

Connie, on February 14, 2021 at 11:09 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 9

I went into the bridal boutiques thinking I wanted a simple and flowy A-line dress, and somehow ended up with an extra large and sparkly ballgown that I absolutely love. I originally wanted a very simple and flowy A-line dress, but after asking for more and more sparkle, the bridal attendant recommended I try on a sparkly, princess ballgown. Once she zipped me up and tightened me up, I knew the dress was the one (I did not want to take it off). The problem now is that I'm not sure what kind of veil actually goes along with this dress. While at David's Bridal, I actually fell in love with a veil (https://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_scattered-embroidered-florals-chapel-length-tulle-v825_cathedral-veils) but sadly don't think this will go well with my dress.


I want a longer veil (at least floor length given the length of the train), but didn't like the veil the boutique suggested (plain tulle with some scatted gemstones). The dress has a sparkly moscato organza layer under ivory tulle. Does anyone have recommendations on what sorts of veils might look nice with this dress? Sorry for the phone quality photos, the dress is a lot more champagne/blush/pink in person.

    Beautiful dress! It looks gorgeous on you! I would probably go with a simpler veil, like you have in the second picture because you don't want the veil to take away from the dress.

    WOW, your dress is amazing!!! 🤩 I agree with PP that you might not want to overtake the dress with your veil. But perhaps if it’s simple AND sparkly in a similar shade to your dress that could be a nice complement! I know Etsy has a lot of options that you can search for and customize.

    Specifically on Etsy, I would look for a sparkle/glitter veil if that’s of interest!

    Your dress is beautiful! I think a simple fingertip veil with maybe some bling/sparkle on the trim. Try Etsy.

    I think a cathedral veil with a pearl edge or lace edge would be lovely. I don't love the veils from the picture. I think you need one that will lie flatter and will have some little detail to bring the eye to the train and then up

    Gorgeous dress! I would go with a cathedral length veil that sparkles to match your dress. I seen one on Amazon that’s very reasonably priced.

    Thanks everyone for the responses! My thinking was that the veil also had to be extravagant to match the dress, but it makes a lot of sense that the veil should only compliment the dress and not take attention away from it. I'll start looking for some cathedral length veils on Amazon and Etsy with just a little bit of shimmer Smiley smile

    Thank you! Smiley smile Definitely will be looking for a simpler veil with some sparkles, but not sure on coloring since my dress is a slight blend of ivory, champagne, and moscato.
