    You won't see a lot of it here, but go on www.offbeatbride.com and check out some of the red dresses there.  LOVE that look.

    Because I'm older, the look you are describing, in my head I think of the 1950's and 1960's look that bridesmaids had: colored dress, matching short colored veil. I think it would look adorable.

    Not sure what look you are going for, but a small headband with an attached short red veil, or a birdcage veil in red would look great.

    A somple red sheath with a birdcage sounds elegant!  I also am a fan of offbeatbride, check them out! There are plenty of colored birdcage veils on etsy sites. Most of the sellers make custom items, so you could have your veil cusom made to your specifications, and I'm sure you can get a colored veil there.

    If you really want to wear a veil, I say you go girl!!!!!!

    Also, you could wear an ivory veil if you have ivory or pearl accessories, that would be gorgeous.

    Lovely!  Great idea about the ivory accessories.

    You might want to talk to your alterations person, if you have them.  I know the person we used can make veils.  That way, you could have one in any color you wanted.

    I love the fact that I am not the only one doing something completely out of the norm!  I was looking for a black veil and just googled it and found a variety of choices.  Good luck

    I don't think a veil will go with a simple red dress... especially for a second wedding... but that's just me...
