torn b/w veils...

Ok, so currently I have an elbow length classic 1 tier veil for the ceremony and then a really awesome birdcage 1940s'ish hat for the reception. However, I think I've been watching too much TLC Bride's Day b/c I'm now totally IN LOVE with cathedral length veils...

I guess I'm just not sure what to do. Here is a pic of the back of my dress...
 
 

thoughts?

Re: torn b/w veils...

  • I personally would do a cathedral veil or birdcage veil with your dress because I feel like anything shorter will cut you off in the back and interrupt the flow of the dress. So, cathedral for ceremony and birdcage for reception. But this is just my personal preference, I am sure you will look beautiful no matter what!

  • i think the birdcage veil would look really cool with that dress, but i'm not sure how a veil that falls at any length would look with the collar on the dress...  how are you doing your hair? that might determine the veil choice also.  i guess i'm just imagining the back of the collar bumping out the veil, but that might not be the case... i'm having a hard time imagining it... (it's very early lol)

    btw, i love your dress.  it's really unique.  it's so hard to find a non-strapless dress.
  • I feel like a cathedral veil would be a huge PITA, personally.  I'm also wearing a 1 tier elbow length veil.  I guess I don't like it when the veil overshadows the dress, which I feel like a cathedral often does.  You'll probably be fine either way, so I'd just stick with what you have =]

  • What do you really want??????????????

    I watch alot of TLC too and WE.  Love that stuff.  BUT I have to reign myself in.  Make a decision, stick with it, move on.  Stress sets in when you constantly doubt your choices. 

    You obviously picked an elbow length for some reason - hone into that reason. 

    Good luck fellow May Knottie!

    Agree 100%. If you are comfortable with the length of a cathedral I would wear it 100%.
