I can't decide on a veil for my dress. I would like no poof so I thought a drop veil. BUT...I don't want to buy anything I can't return, so I wanted to see what everyone else was wearing. Also, what type of veil would you suggest?
Beautiful dress - love the detail! I would go with a single layer cathedral length veil...but that's just me & I may be partial. I'm not a tremendous fan of veils...but fell in love with a Mantilla that matches mine - so I lean more towards single-layer, cathedral lengths.
I don't have a picture to show you, but with your dress I picture a simlpe fingertip length veil. I would not get any stones or designs on the veil since your dress is so intricate. Keep the veil simple and if you are wearing your hair up, then have the veil put under your hair so it won't poof.
I definitely like the picture of the cathedral veil. I'm just wondering if it would take away from the beautiful detail of the train. Also I would like to wear my hair low in the back with flowers tucked in. I'm not really a tiarra style person. I would feel weird wearing one.

My mom made me a beautiful veil. She bought a pretty white bridal headband and attached the veil with velcro.

Based on yoru description I would suggest a mantilla. My friend wore one and it was beautiful on her and not poofy. Also who makes that dress its beautiful?!

StepherG - I'm also thinking of wearing my hair in a low chignon...with either flowers or crystal pins in it. I'm not wearing the mantilla the entire night. I also don't feel that it will take away from the detail of your dress - it's a very light, sheer material...

I will definitely look into the Mantilla veils. Sounds beautiful. I don't plan on wearing mine the entire night either. Just for the church and pictures.
BTW, someone asked (I'm sorry I can't see the post as I write this) who made the dress. It's a Mori Lee.
Thanks for the feedback and help. This sometimes gets overwhelming with all the details and decisions!

this is mine..... Its a little higher than I actually want it, but you can see it a little better.. (sorry the pic is so big)
Do you think the 70' is too long since I'm wearing an A-line dress? Will I look heavy?

This is my veil, I was leaning towards the mantilla also, I just felt it might be a little long for me. I am 5'9', and my train is only a cathedral, so I didn't want a lot of veil.
