Tiara and Veil Question: WHAT type of veil would look good with this dress (pictures added at the bottom). PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEE

So I said I would and I did. I drove through the snow (more than 2 feet in CHicago) and I went to try on veils and tiaras!!

Now I need advice.
(Please read like 5 posters down. I decided to get the tiara, but now I need advice on what type of veil. See my replies below with the picture of the dress).


Anyways, Paul (the guy I was working with) said that he could do a two-tier cathedral length veil with scattered rhinestones (double-sided) and the tiara for $225 ( I got him to drop $25) plus tax. He was trying to charge me $125 for the veil and $125 for the tiara. Do you think this is a good price? I think it's really good for the veil (bridal illusion) but for a tiara that seems high. I guess it's because I saw the tiara's on Ebay. Have anyone seen anything like this for less $$. I really really like it. I think I might just go with him. I need to look again to see if there's anything I like.

For the silk he said it would be more expensive and he showed me silk swatch (I think it was similar to a Hansson silk) because it was very limp. He did say to be weary of people in the US that try to sell the silk veils because he said most of the better silk comes from the UK.

I'm really happy I went in because he was able to match the veil to my dress. I brought a swatch with me there. My dress is called 'off-white' by the designer and when we were looking at the veils the light ivory (eggshell) one seemed to fit best. The diamond white one (which I would have thought would have worked) was too bright and the ivory was too dark.

Okay, I attached 2 pictures of the tiara I tried on. And the last two pictures are pictures of the tiara that I showed him that I liked (but I didn't want the gold). This was my inspiration tiara. I really really like the tiara I tried on there.

My bridal salon told me NO rhinestones on the blusher because it will make my face look speckled in pictures. I have rhinestones on my veil, too, and it doesn't actually take away as much as you would think it would from the dress.

I think plain veil wouldbe better for this dress.. The bottom i so unique and I think embrodiery would take away from it.

I think you should do rhinestones but not on the blusher veil. and no embrodiery. the dress is beautiful enough.

Thanks everyone for all the advice, but gosh I'm still confused! I never thought this would be so difficult....I definetly want the rhinestones. I think I may just tell the veil maker to wait until I get the dress or maybe I can go into the bridal salon that I got the dress from and make an appointment to try on veils with the dress. I'm feeling like a bridezilla.

I would do a single layer with that dress.

I think Cathedral Veil will work well.
