Veil help! (Lots of PIP and links)

We don't get a lot of these WR help questions on this board, but I figured I'd ask here just for fun.

Originally I ordered a birdcage veil to go with my dress. However, I feel like they only really work with updos (I've seen them with down hairstyles but it just doesn't give the same effect, IMHO) and I've since decided I'm probably wanting to have my hair down day of.

Here is a picture of me in my dress. Sorry I don't have any details of the beading at the top, but you can kind of see it in the second pic:






Sorry about my face. :p

Here is the original veil. It's bandeau style which means it attaches at both sides of my head:



And here is one of my hair inspirations:




So now I'm thinking I want a fingertip or elbow length, 2 tier. Do you all think any of these are a good option? I've heard nothing but good things about the seller.

Veil 1: http://tinyurl.com/2e3znzk
Veil 2: http://tinyurl.com/27445yb
Veil 3: http://tinyurl.com/27tao3n
Veil 4: http://tinyurl.com/2dbfps4

I would obviously get it in ivory to match my dress.

Honest opinions?

    I think the original birdcage would look great with your dress- I can see why you picked it.  And FWIW, I think birdcage veils look just fine with hair down.  Do you actually have the original one?  If so, you might do your hair kind of like the inspiration pic and try the veil on with it.

    If you decide to forget the birdcage, I think I liked veils 2 or 3 the best.

    HTH!  Good luck deciding!

    I like the birdcage veil but I like those with updo's better but it is really what you are more comfortable with.  If you go with a different veil I picked #2.  Good Luck!

    I think veil 1 or 2 if you don't stay with a birdcage.  I think a birdcage will still look gorgeous no matter what, I think that your dress demands one.

    I agree with PP.  I think the birdcage veil would look amazing with your dress, hair up or down, because it won't cover up the awesome back that your dress has!  But if you do decide to go with a longer veil, I would say go with 2 or 3.

    Thanks for your opinions, ladies! I think I may buy one of the longer ones (looking like #2 is a fav) and bring them both to my hair trial next month. Together they'll still cost less than one veil normally costs in stores, so I guess I still win. haha

    I liked the ones with the scalloped edges because I felt like it went with the ruffle, yes?
