Help!! What kind of veil should I wear?

HI ladies,
Here is my dress:
http://sophiatolli.com/wedding-dresses/Y11200/

Although I'm going to have the seamstress make that bow a little smaller, I don't want to take too much away from the details on the bodice.
I have no idea what will look best with the dress, but I have been leaning toward an elbow or waist length single tier veil.

Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks, everyone!!

That dress is beautiful! I think either length veil would be great or a birdcage would be pretty too with a little of the silver incorporated into it.

Thanks so much jasmynelwis!
I also really like birdcage veils, and was thinking of trying on in addition to the others...
Forgot to mention, our wedding is in December!

That is an amazing gown… I would recommend a cathedral length, elbow length or shorter as you don’t want something that falls in the middle of the bustle in the back; it may take away from the dramatic statement of the bustle.

I agree with the previous post, if I were you I would go with an elbow length veil so your beautiful bustling isn't covered up. I'm not sure about a birdcage, I feel like if you had something right around your face coupled with the lovely bow it might make your face/chest area too crowed. Just a thought. I would recommend trying different options on with your dress if you could.

Thanks girls, this has helped. I was also worried about covering the pretty bustling in the back, and also that it might be too busy in the front with just a short veil, so I think I'm going to go with elbow/waist length.
I'm still going to try all of your suggestions, I really appreciate it!

Now, one more piece of advice I desperately need:
SHOES!!!
Should I wear Silver or Diamond White?
They will be 1 inch peep toe wedges either way...

THANKS!!!

My instant thought was "birdcage"

I think silver shoes might be fun if the top of your dress is silver like in the picture.

I'm going non-traditional with my shoes... they are purple... I think shoes are a personal statement so chose somthing that reflects you

Oh, what a stunning dress!  I'm glad you are thinking about an elbow length veil.  I think that would be the perfect length to show off the back of the gown.  Anything shorter would...detract, I think, and potentially throw off the proportion.

As for shoes, I would totally go with a slightly deeper shade of silver!  Or a bright pop of color!  But satin, either way.
