I tried so hard to wait until my actual dress came in at the end of January to take pictures, but I just couldn't wait any longer and stopped by the bridal salon to get pictures in the sample today. Please keep in mind that the sample is a size too small and I plan on toning up my muscles before the wedding, so my actual dress would fit me properly and the back would lay correctly. Thoughts on my dress? Also, which veil/flower do you like best?
Single Layer Veil:
Double layer veil:
Hair flower:
Love your dress! What about the flower & a veil (I like the first one)? Too much?
Oh, I also forgot to add that I will be having a brooch bouquet, and the dress is quite sparkly in real life, so I don't want to overload on the sparkle. (Though my mom thinks sparkle overload doesn't exist. lol)
I'd love to see the single with the hair flower. That is an AMAZING dress!
First, you look beautiful in that dress! I voted for the hair flower. Usually, I am very much a veil girl, but the hair flower was a clear winner for me this time. It almost seems like the veils compete with the dress, but the hair flower really lets the dress take center stage.
I think it looks stunning on you. It compliments your skin tone and your beautiful hair color. The hair flower is gorgeous.
Honestly, you can do both. You wear the veil for the ceremony.
Your dress is stunning! Seriously, it looks like it was made for you! I don't even know you, and I can just tell that this dress is so YOU! :)
As for the veil/flower options, I say go for the double layer veil for the ceremony, and then take it out and put in the flower for the reception!
You are so pretty! I love that dress!!
I like the double veil, but would also love to see double veil + flower.
beautiful dress! the flower is gorgeous but i like the veil as well - can you wear both for the cremony and then take the veil off or is that too much??
@parasol: Your dress is stunning! Seriously, it looks like it was made for you! I don't even know you, and I can just tell that this dress is so YOU! :)
Ha ha! I thought the same thing when I first saw the pics! I thought to myself, That dress is so her. And, then I thought, Wait, I don't know her! I didn't have the guts to post it like you did. ;-)
@spoiledvamp27: OP, that dress really does look like it was made just for you. :-)
@JuneBride2012: I guess I'm just gutsy! That, or I rationalized that I'd be pretty ecstatic if a stranger could tell that my dress is SO ME! :)
Oh my god, you look incredible! I can't even imagine a more perfect dress for you. Glad you succumbed to the temptation to go back and take pictures :)
I am very firmly in favor of the hair flower. Your dress is so stunning I feel like both veils take away from it. But I understand the appeal of the veil...if you do really want one, I'd go with something simple and unembellished and wear it over the hair flower for the ceremony.
@RR: Oh no! Does that mean I'm creepy now? Haha, I think I'm in just too good a mood today!
you look AMAZING! i really couldn't tell the sample was too small. it seems to be the minority, but i really like the simplicity of the single layer veil with the beaded edge. the flower was a close second. maybe you could wear the veil for the ceremony and the flower for the reception, if your budget allows?
WOW! You look absolutely amazing!!!! I say single layer with the flower :)
@parasol: No, haha! Not at all!!! I just thought that dress was so her! But I had already said that her skin and hair was beautiful, along with the dress, veil and flower. LOL
Agree with PP, that dress is incredible and seems to suit you perfectly. If you are set on a veil, I like the single layer beaded one (don't cover up more of that dress than you have to!) and I really love the hair flower.
You are gorgeous in that dress!!! I love the double veil with it... and I like the flower too.
*cue heavenly music...
that dress is ah-mazing on you!!! and you're right, the model pics on your previous post do it absolutely ZERO justice! i love that dress so much!!!
if you want a veil, i'd go with the single layer because it's more sheer and you can see the details of the dress better through it... but like a PP said, i'd totally do the hair flower under the veil! then whey you take your veil off at the reception, you have that rockin' hair flower left to highlight! :)
also, you're hair looks great! did you do it yourself? it goes really well with the dress! :)
I looooove your dress! You look fantastic! I'd do the flower, with the single layer if you really want a veil.
Your dress is sooo pretty. The flower looks great with the dress. I don't think it would be overload at all.
Can I pick two? I'm with Mrs. Parasol: double layer for ceremony and flower for reception!
I vote single layer veil for the ceremony, flower for the reception!
First of all...Your dress is stunning!! And I love the 2 layer with it. And you can do what pp suggested and wear the flower for the ceremony :)
You look absolutely stunning! I really like the 2-layer veil and I think your mom is right - there is no such thing as sparkle overload :)
Thank you all so much ladies, for your wonderful comments! I never thought about doing both, but now I will seriously have to consider it after all of your suggestions!
@anotheroneofmany: Yes, I did do my hair myself. My future uncle, who's a hairstylist will be doing my hair for the wedding, and he did something similar in a bridal photo shoot I did a while back for a magazine, and I tried to do something similar whenever I went to try on my dress. I told him when he did my hair that day that he'd be doing my hair on my wedding day. Little did he know it would be to his nephew. (We weren't dating yet.) Here's a picture of that photoshoot:

Your dress is amazing. I love the straps. You look so elegant, congrats!!
oh my! Your dress is Stunning! You look so pretty! Id say to go for Either A) the double viel or 2) the flower! Even though I thnk that the flower is the prettiest because it looks tres chic and your dress already has a LOT of attention to it. You dont wanna over do it with the viel.. (:
Your dress is perfect! I like the double layer veil for the ceremony and the flower for the reception!
