What do you think of this idea?

I have been thinking for a while of geting some pale colored flowers embroidered on to the back of my 3-tier veil.

Have anyone ever seen this? What do you all think?

I don't like it. I think the veil is gorgeous by itself.

It really all depends on the dress. But I guess if its something that you really like, go for it!!

Irene -- are there flowers or embroidery on your dress?

Kimberly, have you ever seen it done before? I havne't. In my mind it seems like it would be beautiful, but I have no idea how it would look in reality.

By dress is below. There is very little detailing on it. Do you think it would take away from the dress?

I haven't seen one in person but what I am picturing in my head I don't think I like it. Just did a search on flower embroidered veils. Here are 2 pictures. Is this what you are talking about?

Irene your dress is gorgeous and the back corset is a showstopper. Definitely no embroidery on the veil. The dress is stunning and that should be the focal point. JMHO.

Re: What do you think of this idea?

I agree that the dress should be the focal point. And it is beautiful. If you decide to go with any embroidery on the veil, I would suggest sticking to just a little bit of flower embroidery in the same color as your dress. I think other colors would detract from the dress.

Oh, I don't like that at all. Hmmm. Ok, forget it them. I don't think it works with the dress now that I see it. Thanks ladies.

Irene:
I do not think it would look bad except I have to agree -- the back of your dress is killer and I would not want anything to block its view!

Just wanted to say I love your dress. It is very similar to mine. Who is the designer? As for the veil, I say keep it simple. You don't want to take away from the dress.

Thanks. It's Olympa by Maggie Sottero. I love the dress. It was the first one I tried on, but the one I ran to after I tried on all the rest.

Mine is a Maggie too! I just fell in love with the corset back. Mine was the third one I tried on.
