    Hi,

    I am trying to find a veil that goes with my wedding dress.  The attached is the veil that I tried on at the time I ordered my dress but I was hesitant to get it.  I am not sure if the ribbon edges of the veil go with my gown. Also, do you think a more puffy veil would go better with this dress?

    Thanks everyone!

    I like the idea of having a fuller veil with that dress.  BTW, the dress is gorgeous!

    I really like that veil with it.  I think it seems puffy enough already.  Love your dress BTW.

    It's a beautiful dress!  I'd go with a simpler veil, with a cut edge and all one length, not tapered like the one in the photo.  The simplicity would really set off that dress.

    I think the veil in the picture looks great with that dress! It's full enough that it doesn't look like an afterthought or something.

    I think it goes really nicely... are you having an indoor church ceremony?  If you're having an outdoor ceremony, perhaps a shorter veil with the same edging would work better?  I really love your dress btw... who is the designer??

    Thanks!  The dress is Priscilla of Boston 4216.  It won't be a church ceremony.  The wedding is going to be in Istanbul, Turkey and I attached the pictures of the venue.  I am still debating whether I should get a long or short veil but I will probably go with a shorter veil than the one I tried on.

    WOW... that venue is awesome. Is all that green from the lighting, or is that part of the venue's colors? Either way I love it. :)

    that green color is from the lighting. i still have to pick the colors, and the decorations but this looks pretty.  here is one more picture- this is the cocktail area.

    I love your dress, and I think it would look great with a fuller veil. Maybe two tiers?

    cool, another Turkish bride!  Beautiful venue :)  Our wedding will be in Izmir, so not too far away ... I would suggest trying a shorter veil that is still long - like the type that doesn't drag on the floor but ends mid-leg - that is less waterfall-y around the top; it could be too busy with the layering effect and take away from the crumbcatcher and sash detail, you know?  I say that because I spent like an hour picking out a veil for my dress (which has similar details to yours - layers on the bodice and a broach on the sash) and that was style that I liked the best.

    The veil you have on in the picture looks great too, and the dress is beautiful so I am sure everything will turn out great! GL!

    I think that is what I was hesitant about.  The edging and the layering of the veil kind of took away from the top part of my dress.  The veil you attached is very beautiful btw.  I will consider more simpler styles like this one.  So your wedding will be in Izmir?  It is a very beautiful city.  I am sure it will be a lovely wedding.

    @so2203:  I just checked out Style Me Pretty and they have a picture of a bride in a crumbcatcher dress!  Her veil is fuller but without the layers, I think it looks really pretty:

    Good Luck!

    I love the dress but don't like the ribbon on the veil.  Fuller would be fine...I love me a puffy veil :) but i think the ribbon edge takes away from the BEAUTIFUL dress

    I like a veil without the ribbon around it, it takes the wow factor from the dress, I can't find the word haha it makes it heavy ....lol i don't know, I think It would look much better with the veil that Peanutlovespumkin suggested with the picture ;)

    I agree with everyone, I like a cut edge best because it doesn't draw the eye right to the edge of the veil so much.

    I think you could go a little poufy-er if you want, but I thought the one in the pic looked great.

    thanks:-) That was actually the last dress I tried on.  I was about to give up my search and settle for one of the gowns that I liked previously but when I tried this on, I fell in love with it:)
