veil with lining on the edge

The bridal store tells me that the trim on veils shows up weird in pictures. Any truth to that? I need to chose my veil on Wednesday.

Re: veil with lining on the edge

that would explain why my blusher doesn't have one and my veil does'

Re: veil with lining on the edge

Good idea... I think a trim is so pretty but they had me paranoid. I will ask about doing it your way. How thick/thin is your trim??

Re: veil with lining on the edge

I heard that it is the edge on the blusher that can show up weird in pictures. Depending where it hits you .. you will look like you will have a line across you. I haven't personally seen this in pictures but my FMIL tells me this all the time. I am using my wrist length veil as the blusher and it has an edging but being it is long it won't hit me acress the face or anything so I don't care too much.

I am getting a thin rolled end on my veils. I also heard by putting an edging it can prevent the veil from getting a run (like pantyhose).

Now this is all stuff I heard when I was veil shopping..I am not sure how much is true!

Re: veil with lining on the edge

Ive heard this rumor too but ive seen so many photos of brides with pencil trimmed veils and they all look fine.

Re: veil with lining on the edge

The salon where I got my dress said the same thing. If you look through bridal books, you will notice that most don't have the edge. I liked the edge look, but I'm second guessing myself now.

Re: veil with lining on the edge

My veil has an edge and pearls dainting the edges, but nothing on the blusher. I don't plan to have the blusher in front of my face, so I'm not worried about it. I love that the trim gives the veil some definition.

The length of the veil also may have something to do with it. Mine is fingertip length so I don't think the trim would do anything to the photos.

Here is a photo of a girl with a veil like mine...it has a pencil edge and I think it looks more polished than an unfinished version.



Here is one without an edge


Its just a matter of personal taste.

I like the line too SonicStef. I think I am going to have to show this picture to the FMIL wherever she tells me you can't have a finished edge if you are going to wear it over your head (which she says everytime I see her and I keep trying to ignore.)
