What type of veil with tea length dress?

I think a bird cage veil or waist/hip length veil would look beautiful with your dress.

Bird Cage

Hip Length

Not crazy about the bird cage but I like the second.

I wouldn’t do anything longer than a fingertip veil.

View Quoted Comment Is that shorter than the hip length? I seriously know nothing about veils.

Oh darn, I prefer birdcage as well. I’m opting out on wearing a veil.

A shorter veil would definitely be best since the dress is short as well. A fingertip, blusher, or birdcage veil would be great options. I would suggest a plain tulle veil without embellishments like lace or bling because they would take away from the dress.

Hope i could help!

I'd go bird cage, blusher, or shoulder length. https://www.brides.com/story/style-tips-on-choosing-veil-for-your-wedding-dress

Thanks ladies! Guess I’m looking for a blusher or shoulder length veil! Still not sure I want to humor FH on this one, but at least I know what to look for now.

Shoulder length would be darling! I bought two on Amazon for $15 each--one was cheap & stiff, the other one was good enough for our local reception. Here's a pic:

My dress is ankle length, and I thought it looked best with a fingetip length (which I’m pretty sure is the same as the hip length veil pictured in one of the posts above. Since your dress is a little shorter, elbow length would probably be a good proportion.

Just as a side point, you don’t need to wear the veil for the entire event. If you’re comfortable in it, you could wear it for the ceremony and then ditch it.

View Quoted Comment I know I don’t have to wear it all afternoon but it seems a waste to spend money on it then barely wear it.

I can understand that. I’m not sure what your budget is, but I know a lot of brides have been very happy with veils off of Amazon. You can easily find something in the length you’re looking for at the under $10 mark. I picked out a second veil (first one came with the dress) for about fifteen dollars, and was quite pleased with it.
