ok, my wedding is in may and i haven't even considered what i want my veil to look like. originally i wasn't sure if i wanted one, but now i feel like i'd be missing out somehow without one.

the problem is i'm CLUELESS about veils! i have no idea what to even look for - material, length, etc?

here are some pics of my dress (minus the flowers and boa, of course ). the dress in the pics is a pinkish color, but mine is ''pearl'.

what kind of veil do you think i should get, which would go with my dress?

THANKS girls.

THANK YOU to everyone for your input!!!! as of now i'm thinking satin-edged silk organza, probably fingertip. and i am definitely going to go looking around SOON!!

when i started to try veils on, the fingertip was long on me. so they suggested the elbow length. i like the elbow length better on me

Definitely try on different veil lengths with your dress (or a sample dress). You don't want the veil to cut you off in the middle or detract from your beautiful dress. Since your dress has a detailed midsection, you may want to go a little shorter a longer so you don't have anything obscuring your dress.

I love veils! I didn't really feel like a bride until I tried one on.

Your gown is beautiful, i think you might look great with an elbow length veil the color of your dress, maybe with some edging to match, something like this but of course not white.

that is really beautiful, thank you!! maybe an elbow-length would be nicer, since i don't want to hide the back of the dress at all...
