Question about my veil???

When I put a deposit on my dress. I also put a deposit on the veil that I absolutely loved and I thought looked great w/ my dress. Problem is last night I was reading an article in Brides Magazine that said,'If you have a cathedral length veil it should be quite a bit longer than the train on your gown orthe dress train should beshorter than the veil lenth'.. I am like thinking OMG my dress has a train and my veil is cathedral length and the veil is only a a tad bit longer it just passes the train by like 1 inch . I'm am worried does the veil I love look ridiculous w/ my gown. I mean the sales women said she thought it looked great, but was she just saying that to make a sale or maybe she didn't know any better. Also I can NOT CHANGE MY MIND or decide I want another veil without loosing money, it is store policy. Any suggestions??? ehre is the link to the train of my gown.

Re: Question about my veil???

before I look.. how much money will you lose??

And- before reading the bridal propaganda in Brides magazine- did you love your veil??

ETA: I think any veil that makes you happy with that train is great.. It is really long.. I think you can really get away with anything.

then keep it..

Don't let some magazine tell you what you LOVE is not appropriate.. You should love everything you are wearing that day- and no one is going to be whispering, 'can you believe her veil is not as long as her train'.. not gonna happen. Feel confident in your original decision.

Keep it and then maybe you can have it altered if you really don 't like it. i don't know if it's possible but it would be better than losing $300. I say its your wedding and you can do whatever you want!

Re: Question about my veil???

I don't really go by what the magazines say. They say that petite women should not wear ballgowns or strapless dresses. I have a strapless ballgown that I fell in love with. You can't always go by the magazine. See if you can go back and try it on again.

My sister had a very long train and a cathedral veil and it looked beautiful.
