What kind of veil with this dress?

This is my dress. I know I want a cathedral-length veil with a fingertip-length blusher (not the standard 30”) so this will be a custom job. I tried on two veils that totally match my dress and that I love (closeup photo with the dress) but the lady at the shop said they are $600 together but they could sew them together for me.


I’m looking at less expensive options now. I ordered a lace swatch from a custom veil site that offered to do it for considerably cheaper. But I feel like the lace (closeup photo with the black background) just doesn’t match. It’s corded and the scallop is less pronounced than it was on my dress. I just really loved the look of the veils I tried, but I don’t want to spend that money.
What do y’all think? Is it noticeable? Also, what other edging might I consider? The bottom of my gown is pretty plain, so I feel like a raw edge veil wouldn’t be interesting enough.

    Not sure if you’re interested but I bought my cathedral veil on Etsy and it is AMAZING! I bought it for $180. I think it would compliment most dress. Mine didn’t have a blusher but you could definitely buy one that does! Also the fabric was super soft and the white matched my dress perfectly. What kind of veil with this dress? 5

    You know, I actually think the patterned veil takes away from the beautiful lace on the top of your dress and I think a long plain veil would bring the drama without distracting from what you have.

    I think the lace will still look really nice together and you won’t be able to tell from even a few feet away if the detailing doesn’t exactly match!

    But the bridal shop pictures do look like a really great match, so that’s a tough decision!!
