What style veil would look best with this gown?

S6ix

I can't decide on a veil, but I know I want one.

http://www.amykuschel.com/gowns/noe is the gown.

Should I do a lace edged mantilla that comes to the top of the gown? Or a ribbon edge veil that goes below the bow? One layer or two?

I have a couple of yards of the lace used on the dress to play with, and a great seamstress.

Thanks in advance!

I think using the leftover lace to edge the veil would be beautiful!

For my personal taste, I only like veils that are fingertip or cathedral length.

Even though a laced edge veil would look amazing, I am more inclinded to say go with a riboon edged veil because I think it would accent the bottom of your dress nicely and then allow the lace on the dress to be the "star of the show" so to speak.

I would do a fingertip lace trimmed veil. I know you said mantilla would be an option, but you could also just have to bottom trimmied with lace. That is what I did. I had a seamstress make mine like that and there are pics in my bio under the Attire tab.

I love the big bow on the back of the dress, so I would probably stick with a birdcage-type veil to avoid covering it up.

I think the best options would be either a lace-trimmed fingertip or a ribon edged fingertip--so you can see the bow through the tulle. The layer question is up to you. Do you want a layer to pull over your face (the blusher)? If not, a one layer might be best. 

Also, in terms of deciding between a ribbon edged or lace edged you should take a look at the type of wedding you're looking at creating. If you're doing a vintage-y thing a lace edged will fit the bill. However, if you're doing a more modern look a ribbon edged might be the way to go.

Either way you will look beautiful! Love your dress

Personally I like the idea of a chapel or cathedral length trimmed with the extra lace.

Thanks everyone! Great ideas here.

The veil with ribbon edge must be better as your dress has a ribbon hem .BTW, your dress is already enough lace appliques ,no any more

I think this veil will match your dress nicely.

The lace edged mantilla with two layers. It will not cover the bow.

is it ok?

i'd go with fingertip.  it should extend past the bow just fine, so you'll still see it through the mesh.

i'd stay away from lace trim (http://www.weddingx.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Floor-Length-Bridal-Veil-2.jpg), to me it just overpowers the dress and takes away from it. I'd probably go with something lightly embroidered (http://forprincessbride.com/store/media/Veil-201-1F-D.jpg)

 buuuuut thats just my opinion

Wow I love this dress! I agree with Elle completely. I think that this dress easily calls for a birdcage veil or that type of thing. I wouldn't cover the bow!
