Please help me decide on a veil length

I dont know why this is such a difficult decision for me! I cant decide between cathedral length or fingertip. I love the look of a cathedral veil, but i'm getting married at the RH so is that weird? And I like the idea of a fingertip veil cuz then i can keep it on for entrance and first dance. And I just cant decide which i think would look better with my dress.

What do you guys think?? My dress is in my album

fingertip

eta: because your dress is so beautiful - i think the focus should be solely on your dress. i think a cathedral length may distract from your dress and its detail

what about both lol, thats what i did and so did other ladies. I had a cathedral veil and elbow length veil that were both on a comb and was detachable. I took off the cathedral veil after the pics and at reception just had on the elbow length.

Honestly, i wasnt able to decide either until i tried it on in person. Once i saw it on me it was alot easier to decide so i say start looking around and try some on

Belissa - I have a similar style dress and can't decide either. Right now I'm leaning towards a fingertip length since it'll be a nice balance to the fullness of the lower half of my dress. But again, until I try it on when my dress comes in, who knows

thanks for all the feedback! I think i have been leaning towards the fingertip for all those reasons. Now i just have to decide on blusher or no blusher

I say fingertip and blusher! I had a 2-tier finger tip, and having the blusher really made me feel so much more 'like a bride'.... just trying on the dresses, whenever I put on a veil with a blusher I got so much more excited. It is so easy to just lift the blusher to the back, and it made the veil a little fuller. Mine was really simple so as not to compete with the dress.

did you use the 2nd tier finger tip as the blusher? i want to do this but thought finger tip might be too long for the front...

Hey dress twin

I decided on a fingertip length veil with blusher. I want the fuller look thats why I'm doing 2 tiers

hey you!! i think this is exactly what i'm gonna do. i had my first fitting today and tried a veil on like that and loved it. What color veil are you getting?? what color is 'natural'??? the one i tried on was ivory and it looked good but i kinda want to see what diamond white might look like?

I am all for the blusher and fingertip veil! Lovely dress

When I went to Barrons they have a color called 'natural' so maybe it will match our dress. Not sure though I just recently got a swatch of my dress so I'll try to go off of that. Where did you try on the veil? I got my dress from RK, is that where you got yours?

i agree with denise. definetly try on samples w/ur dress before u decide. I also had my cathedral made into two pieces..so the long piece came out after the ceremony, and i kept the shorter on for the reception.

also, jmo: of COURSE try it on, but i think with ur dress that u may be better off going with fingertip(and this is coming from a cathedral length girl ) i just think it may compliment it more..but try it on! post pics if u can

oh they did? that might be perfect, i'll have to go back. thing is i already have an ivory veil so i kind of wanted to try to make that work, but i also really want it to match. when i bunched the material together from the veil it was def too ivory, but spread out it was fine.

I got my dress at RK too - where did you get a swatch from??
