Matching a Veil with a Dress

Amsdragonfly

Hello ladies! If anyone read my older post on here know that I ended up getting the dress (!)- it's being shipped from CA to me in NY this week from a salon out there. Super excited!

My question now is... veils. I've only ever tried on one, and all I know is that I don't want a ridiculously long one (is it called cathedral?) and that I want the part that covers your face and can be lifted (would that mean two tiered or is that called a blusher?). Do certain veils look better with a cartain type of dress than others? I was looking on etsy and there are so many to choose from- I guess I need some outside opinions on what would look good with my dress type. It's Allure 8900. Any suggestions for veils would be really appreciated! Thank you!

Your dress is gorgeous!  Since there is quite a bit of lace going on I would suggest something a bit mor simple when in come to your veil.

If you would like the veil to cover your face you can either get a two tiered veil or a one tiered veil and then add a blusher.  I would say that if you were planning on wearing your veil the entire time through the reception I would suggest a one tiered veil and an added blusher.  This way you can remove the blusher portion and then still have a very simple but not over powering veil on.  If you plan on removing the veil comletely then a two tiered veil would be a good option.

I am thinking a great length for your dress would be a fingertip veil.  You could get one with lace trim (make sure the lace goes well with the lace in your dress) but I also think a very simple raw edge veil would be pretty as well so it doesn't compete too much with your dress.

I would recommend a plain or ribbon edged, elbow length veil with blusher since your dress has so much gorgeous lace-you want to keep it simple

Your dress is amazing! Agree with PP, a simpler veil would be better as to not compete with your dress. I recommend checking craft stores in your area, they sell simple veils (Wilton brand, I think?) for a LOT less than buying one somewhere else.
