Your dress is so pretty and unique on it's own. I feel like the raw/cut edge veil is the only one that doesn't "compete" with your dress...the others seem like they make things too busy & my eyes aren't sure where your focus is (but maybe that's what you want?). My second choice would be the flower. Then again, I tend to like things a little more simple. Go with your your instincts and with what makes you feel beautiful!!! :-)
I like the bridal cap best, personally. I think it gives the look a really unique bohemian look while still being fashion-forward and ethereal. I suppose I'm in the minority, though :).
I don't know, I usually love bridal flowers, but there's something about it that looks a little...I don't know--common?--for this look. The bridal cap makes you look like a fashionable little bridal gypsy or something.
B. Simply because it is as unique as your dress... they complement each other well =)
i like the raw edged veil or perhaps the flower, but maybe a smaller one.
I'm super into bridal caps lately. So of course I voted for that. I think it goes best with the look you're going for. So chic!
I love the bridal cap with that gown and your bohemian wedding. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you chose that cap.
The cap is beautiful and goes along with your theme well, but I think the flower is the best choice. It really compliments the style and theme, and looks wonderful with your dress. The other veils are pretty, but I think they compete too much with the details in your gown. I think a simple flower fascinator is the perfect compliment to such a detailed and unique dress- plus it coordinates nicely with the flowery ruffle detail at the bust!
Lurve your dress and I think the bridal cap looks the best option.
What about something like these:

I love either the raw-edge veil or the flower. I think the other options "compete" with your dress, as a PP said. With a statement dress like that, let the dress be the focal point! Keep it simple with the other accessories.
I voted cap. Look up Kate Moss' veil! It would be perfect...
Wait, I'll just find it for you.
So pretty!!!
I still like the bridal cap. Unlike some of the other posters, I don't think the raw edged veil compliments your dress. The mantilla is ok, the flower is ok, but the bridal cap looks awesome! :)
Personally, I don't think a veil goes with this dress at all. It overpowers the beautiful detailing and takes away from it's uniqueness. I think the dress is beautiful on it's own, with minimal accessories.
I think something 1920-1950 inspired would compliment it rather than detract from it (IMO):
@NatDawn: A birdcage? Hmm..not heard that response yet. I will try it and see how she looks. :)
@boombacha: Hey Boom! The raw edged veil or the cap are my favourites, love the second etsy cap! The kate moss cap would lookk absolutely stunning too! If you're after a birdcage you should have a look at the sample gold mine thread, lots of accessories including 2 birdcage veils are available :)
Just realised the flower and feather part of the birdcage above are so similar to the last picture you posted! It matches your dress perfectly!
@LaraW: Wow. How funny! I just posted on the Sample Gown thread at the same time you wrote this!! :) Thanks for looking out, Lara! You are awesome! How did your dress end up working out for you? Have you started accessorizing yet?
@boombacha: OMG! That's so awesome! Definitely on the same wavelength! That Cheryl King birdcage is amazing! I sold my reception dress, it was so beautiful but was a little too big and long and I wouldn't have the finances to alter both dresses (my ceremony dress needs altering too). I'm really happy that it's gone to another bride though ^.^
I like cap or flower w/ no veil...a small accent for your head that let's your dress stand alone. The veils hanging down distract me and compete w/ your dress. The old-fashioned modesty of a veil (esp. the first mantilla that reminds me of the sorts of head coverings that women used to wear to catholic churches) seems to be a different statement than you're going for w/ your dress and tattoo.
I have never thought of bridal caps before, but with the bohemial feel of your dress, it looks like it fits PERFECTLY! I've never seen a dress before that looks like it would go so well with a bridal cap. So that is definately my vote.
@LaraW: Oh, I'm sorry the dress didn't work out for you, but I am happy you were able to rehome her. Do you have a pic of your ceremony dress posted?
@spoiledvamp27: I agree. I love the idea of a cap! Just hate that nobody locally retails caps and I would have to order online before I can try it with my dress. Frustrating that bridal boutiques don't stock more accessories. Boo!
What about a cool headband like this to stay with the modern boho style?

Or maybe a headpiece?

Every since I first saw your dress post I have been thinking birdcage but now i really like the cap so I don't know. Maybe try a birdcage as well to see if you like it?
@vanessasyra: Great options! Thanks so much! I looked at the LaBoheme headbands (love um!). Just not sure they go best with my dress. Definitely a reception option, but I really like the idea of a "veil type" headpiece for the ceremony and some photos. Love the hat, but not sure that goes with my dress, either! It is just such an unusual style that I haven't seen other brides choices for veils and I can't try on caps witih it because nobody locally stocks them. I think I have narrowed down a few caps and am looking for feedback, so stay tuned to my upcoming poll! :)
@secondchances: Sure, I tried a cage, but it had french netting and not tulle and had a big flower and was not flattering at all with dress. Really, I think it needs something light, airy and "fae". I am posting a new poll and would love your input. :)
I really like the cap! Not so much with the long train attached; I think the cap alone would look pretty and less competing with the rest of the dress.
Another vote for CAP!!! It will be perfect with your dress. PERFECT!!
ok, i couldn't vote...i'm torn between the mantilla and the cap, and even different ideas FOR the cap. i feel like with the mantilla and cap, you need to keep in the same vein as the lace on your gown or they might clash. OR...maybe do like your makeshift cap with the raw-edge veil and pair it up with the flower on top?
I love mantillas but for your dress I think the bridal cap looks amazing. Very boho chic, ethereal...everything you said you wanted it to be.

Good day to you, my weddingbee friends! I went to a local boutique today to have my dress (just arrived last week!!) properly laced up to get a better idea of potential alterations and veil options. As it turns out, it does need to be altered, so pardon the clamp in back.
My dress is certainly unique and likely not for everyone, but I LOVE her and want to do her total justice. When I check the designer's website, I never see the models in veils besides a few caps and one mantilla, so I am unsure what might be suggested with it. So, here's my vision and I would truly appreciate all of your honest veil advice!! :)
Theme: Vintage Modern Bohemian Chic- romantic, feminine, ethereal, fae, but bridal.
Now for the pics (never mind my bad hair day..lol):
