Which do you prefer: Fingertip or cathedral veil?

I personally went with fingertip length because the back of my dress had a lot of beading and detail that I didn’t want to cover up. If my dress was more plain I probably would’ve gone with cathedral length.

I'm making my veil. I tried on some to get ideas. I found that the fingertip length ones cut me in half oddly and looked a little frumpy. And the cathedral ones were just too long for my liking. I'm doing a single layer waltz/ballet length with a hand beaded raw edge. I'm spending about $10-15 for my materials vs spending $150-200 for one in the stores.

Fingertip veil is more appealing to me just cus a cathedral veil though seems dreamy also seems very inconvenient

I ordered an Ivory Sequined Elbow length Veil for $1.09 from Amazon.

Although both are gorgeous lengths, I would personally prefer fingertip only because I wouldn't want to get caught up in the cathedral length. I'd be too worried that it would snag on something or I might move and trip over it. It just looks like I would have to continuously maneuver my way around it and make sure that I keep it behind me where it belongs.

View Quoted Comment The back of your dress is stunning!

View Quoted Comment I wish I could! I worry about it cutting me too.

View Quoted Comment I hear ya! And I'm only 5ft but I think I'm loving the dreaminess!

View Quoted Comment Do you have it yet? I've looked on Amazon and read mixed reviews.

View Quoted Comment So true! Not very practical at all.

Fingertip for me! I didn't want to risk tripping over a long veil

View Quoted Comment I got my cathedral length, single layer veil on amazon for $15. It’s an exact match to my ivory BHLDN dress, too!

I ordered a cathedral length veil from Amazon for around $40 and it goes perfectly with my dress details and length of my train

View Quoted Comment And I'm klutzy too!

View Quoted Comment What do you think of the veil? I read mixed reviews with some saying the material wasnt soft etc?

My train is fingertip length because my rain is where all the beautiful designs and beading is. Plus everytime I think about wearing a cathedral length veil, I worry someone will step on it and I have a vision of my head jerking backwards and falling down lol It's not pretty

View Quoted Comment Is it well made? Trying to decide on Amazon too.

View Quoted Comment I haven’t actually worn it for my wedding yet, but it doesn’t have any loose threads or fraying and the comb stays in well!

View Quoted Comment Oh man, that would be my fear too! Lol

View Quoted Comment Thanks! I saw some on Amazon that are exact copies of more expensive David's bridal veils I like. I want crystal beading edging.
