Cathedral length veil?

vindu

So i want to wear a cathedral length veil, but i'm 5'3" and I am worried it would make my look ridiculously short. my dress has a lot of embroidery and beading on the bodice, would an elbow length veil cut me off at the waist? Not sure what to do?

It's amazing how quickly how these tiny little details will drive you crazy! 3 months ago i just wanted to elope just the two of us, now i'm planning a wedding and becoming insane!!!

I am also 5'3 and wore a cathedral length veil.  I didn't think it made me look short.

We're the same height, and I have a cathedral length veil.

I actually found with my dress the shorter ones seemed to cut it all wrong and then made me look even shorter but with other dresses I tried on, fingertip length worked great so I think it depends on the style of your dress, but mine has a lot of bling on it and a longer train so I wanted something really simple and I think the cathedral length fit the bill.
