Veil match Material of Dress??Help

Hi, I am in need of desperate help. I only started planning my wedding 12 weeks ago and had to order my dress direct from the designers warehouse. Dress is white strapless with crushed organza over the entire dress.

My Q. is should I buy a veil in organza or will a regular tulle / bridal illusion one work?

I am wearing my hair down and will either get a fingertip or chapel length veil. I did try on some yesterday at the Bridal place in centereach and liked one that was pretty full but it was only to the elbow.

Any advice on this subject really appreciated as I am hoping to buy this veil online in the next day or two....wedding is in 2 1/2 weeks......

Also what is the best material for getting the fullnes on the veil...

Thank you sooooooo much....

if you want the poofiness in a veil--i think your best bet is to get tulle. also, ask the person who's making it to make it extra full (cut wider).

the first pic is a fingertip length veil (extra fullness--cut 108 inches wide) made out of bridal illusion.

the second pic is a fingertip length veil (standard fullness--cut 72 inches wide) made out of bridal illusion.

i think a tulle veil will match fine with your dress.
