Mantilla Veil?

starree444

I really like how these look.
Do you lovely ladies think it might go well with my dress? I love the vintagey feel of these veils.
This is one that i found that i really like

And this is me in my dress!

Thank you!

Originally i was totally against having a veil at all, but these kinds of veils are really nice and not all frou-frou-y.

I'll be honest because you know me and I think you appreciate my honesty. Although this is my opinion; it's not fact, so take it however you want. I hate that kind of veil. Hate. Sorry :-( Again, just my personal opinion!!

I have to agree with Amethyst also.. the veil isn't my style. The lace embroidery is beautiful but it would look better at the bottom along the edging of the train. 

How about something like this?

I am a veil person!! Just not a lace veil person :-) Are you going to GBCK because of me? ;-)

I LOVE Mantillas but that one looks cheap to me   Let me see if I can find you a prettier one.

I think the veil is beautiful, and your dress is so pretty!

rmontpas

I am sorry but I have to agree with Amethyst, I don't care for the veil either.  Please take this with a grain of salt though because I really am not a veil person.  I am sure you will look beautiful whatever you decide.

I love the look of mantilla veils but I don't think they really fit the style of your dress.

This made me laugh. Hahah I'm going to try my dress on again on Thursday so maybe I'll see if they have one so I can see what it looks like. If I do decide to get one I thinknit will have a much more delicate edging.

I have that veil!  I got it off of etsy (it's cheaper there by the seller Pamperedbride).  IMO (biased though) I'd say do it. 

The veil is very soft and can be worn in so many different ways.

[QUOTE]I'm not a big fan of Mantilla veils.  The one you linked didn't really seem to go with your dress.  Between the lace on the veil, the rhinestones on the bust and the pooffy on the side, I think it's a little busy.  Maybe one with a more delicate edging, or even a simple rhinestone edging would work.

This. But I do think that the veil is pretty and your dress is GORGE...just not together.

I don't like that kind of veil either on certain people but I think you could totally pull it off and look gorgeous while doing it.

I like the idea...but like what you've decided (looking for more intrecate detail).  I think it'll look great - and i'm not a veil person.  I was completely anti-veil until our backfat conversation (week 1 ish) and have bit the bullet, bought one, and had a hair trial w/ it.  I have to say - it's growing on me!

i really don't know. i'm SO sorry i changed the subject momentarily. i will hide in a corner until you forgives me.

jmorford

ALSO, mantilla veils are very traditional, and your dress is very modern.
when you try on your dress again, try some veils. i have mine still i can send to you, if you want one with beads.

I will try some on with my dress on thursday. Someone suggested a birdcage veil, but the one they had at the bridal store had a little hat thing on it and it looked weird.

i still think that would be too traditional, and weird with what you want to do with your hair(with the lace all around)

what about lace at the bottom? if it's delicate it could work. let me find a pic...
(but really, i think that you should go with one without lace)

jmorford

okay, this is what i think would look better with your dress:
(sorry they're all the same etsy girl, but i liked her veils.)

1. clicky
2. clicky
3. clicky
4. clicky(i only added this one because it's claled the ritz. you should get it for that reason.)

2 and 3 are the same.

also, the main thing i don't like about veils is the gathering at the top... that's why i liked the mantilla veils. PRETTY THOUGH.
