    Got the dress! Now, it's time for the veil/accessory. I honestly am terrible when it comes to visualizing which headpiece for which dress and I really need some assistance, ladies. I am looking for chic, classy sophistication with a modern vintage feel. Also, I will be wearing a BLACK BIRDCAGE VEIL during my reception, so I am strictly looking for a ceremony piece! Thanks so much! :)

    @CupCakeMeg: I LOVE BIRDCAGES!! Just want to be sure I look like a bride during the ceremony and go with what looks best with my dress. I plan to wear a black birdcage veil during the reception (guess I should include that up top). So glad you were on my side about the dresses. ;)

    Do you mean like this, as far as bandeau veil?

    @boombacha: YES! very much like that! I got a bit Etsy crazy looking at the veil cuts and lengths and styles! I love love love it! I am going for a Bubble "Parisian" Tulle Birdcage Veil for myself! (or so im hoping!)

    Are you able to go try on your dress again?? if so I'd play with veils if you can! My dress is tafetta and I just didnt like the way the french netting looked with my dress; so when i found out about TULLE birdcage veils my wedding veil worries diminished!

    You have a great facial structure, andI think you could DEF pull off the bandeau or a birdcage veil PERIOD! But for the ultimate Bridal look... I say Tulle Birdcage, still gives you a Bridal "veil" look but still not overpowering your beautiful gown!

    I talk way too much! I apologize! Best of Luck in your decision and please keep me posted! xo

    @CupCakeMeg: Oh, don't apologize! I love to hear feedback and similar plans. Do you have any pics of the veil you hope to use? I took a pic of me in the sample dress with a birdcage last time and then me in my actual dress with a cage this last time, but both were french netting. They didn't have a lot of options there for birdcages. 

    Sample:

    I love the idea of the tulle birdcage for your dress.  To me your dress gives off a "vintage" vibe and I think the birdcage veil would be perfect!  I like the style of the first tulle birdcage you posted.  I think it will compliment your dress well.

    I don't know if you've found one yet, but have you considered a black tulle veil? I think it would look smashing, especially in your dark hair and with a fascinator that plays off of the flower on your sash!

    And I realize that this pic is over the top and it's netting not tulle, but it gives you and idea of a black veil on dark hair with a white and black dress:
