opinions please! Dress and veil question

Hi ladies! What do you think of this veil (40 inch length) with my dress?

Thanks so much!

how are you going to be doing your hair?

Re: opinions please! Dress and veil question

I think a simpler veil would be better for your dress...
The back of your dress is so pretty, I wouldn't want to take away...
JMO though...

Your dress is very pretty!

I would go shorter to show off the back of the dress, but I am not into long veils.

Re: opinions please! Dress and veil question

Hair's going to be half up half down. If I got this veil I would definitely go with a shorter length (40 inches - although I'm only 5'1').

Thanks Sage! I am worried about the back of the dress being visible, since that's where the drama of the dress is (plus it's what people see during the ceremony). That's why I value the LI Wedding ladies opinions!

Re: opinions please! Dress and veil question

then i agree - it is more of a shakespearean ladies in waiting veil... you are going to cover too much of your gown which is GOR GEEEEE OUS!!!!!!!!!!

Re: opinions please! Dress and veil question

I think it will look pretty... and if you'll take it off after ceremony, you'll get to show off your back

Farah....yes, the back of your dress which is gorgeous will be somewhat hidden by the design of the veil....
And I think of you walking down the isle and as you are passing people...they will see the back of your dress and it will be 'dramatic' and beautiful......

Re: opinions please! Dress and veil question

I love the back of your dress - maybe a slightly shorter veil? It would be a shame to cover your dress too much!

I don't think the veil will cover the back of your dress much - you can see the details of the girls dresss in the mirror in the picture. It's gonna look great!!!!

Re: opinions please! Dress and veil question

I have this same veil in my 'wish' book - I absolutely love it! if you like it, go for it!! and if your wedding is over before may of 2004, perhaps i could take it off your hands.... (of course, i have yet to buy a dress yet, let alone start veil shopping!)
