I bought my veil off ebay and it matches my dress fine. My dress is pure white and the veil is white as well so there were no problems. I am going to oreder a hair clip so no tiara, but as long as you know what looks good with your dress you shouldnt have any problems.

I went to the place I bought my dress, with a camera, locked myself in the dressing room and took a bunch of very detailed pictures of it. I also ordered a fabric swatch when I ordered the dress... my dress is ivory silk and I needed this for color.

Then - try it on at the place - and try on some of what they have until you start to understand what you do and don't like... Then Shop elsewhere!

Actually, I found the tiara and veil I wanted this way, I wrote down the information (mfgr and style numbers, etc). and found the tiara on line, - the veil too probably (mine is pretty simple).

Worked for me - I was getting freaked out over the same issue.

(next will be the jewelry... a little trickier!).

Good Luck!

I reeeeeeeally tried to pick out a tiara from the place where I'm getting my dress, just because I wanted that convenience. I just couldn't find one there that I was happy with. I tried on a bunch of them with my dress, so by the time I left, while I hadn't found 'the one', I knew more or less what type of tiara would match with it. I ended up finding one at Lillette's and think it will match fine.

I bought my Tiara and I am going to have my aunt make the veil. She will buy the tulle, crystals & comb to make it. She's also going to come with me to see my dress..

I brought a picture and had an idea of what would look good and it worked, everything coordinated beautifully!!!

i would try on some veils and tiaras at the place where you bought your dress to get an idea of what looks good with it. once you know that, get a swatch from them and bring it with you when looking for veils/tiaras. this is more important if your dress is a color other than white. once you make your purchases, go back to the salon and try them on with the dress and take pics!!
