    I'm needing suggestions for my veil.  I can't decide which length to go with.  I sort of like the one that I tried on with the dress....but I am a horrible decision maker.  Please help me!

    First of all, you look slamming in that dress! I think a long cathedral length veil would look gorgeous with that dress. But if that is not your style, maybe a birdcage or even a hair ornament that has some bling in it to match the sparkly parts of your dress? I don't think the the edges of the veil in the pic match the dress well, it seems to have a pattern that doesn't go with the feel of your dress.

    yeah, that dress suits you so well, I like the idea of a headband or a veil that it finger tip length...

    I don't like that length with your dress and I don't particularly care for that style of veil. I would go with a fingertip length that attaches with a comb instead of that bling-y headband type style and if you want to add bling, do it with some sort of hair comb or a tiara if you're a tiara girl.

    Just my opinion based on my style so feel free to ignore.

    You look amazing in that dress! Gorgeous :)

    Personally, i do not like the veil in the picture too much, i think a simpler 1 tier would showcase how good you look in the dress. I agree with a pp about a cathedral length because it will add drama but will not be too full, KWIM? I also second maybe a flower or comb with bling to match your dress. Good luck..and just try on a bunch of styles, you never know what will pop out at you!

    I think a birdcage veil would look great!

    I would avoid both the birdcage and the cathedral length and opt for either an elbow or a fingertip length

    I would do a fingertip as well.....the birdcage is a toootally different style and I think the length pictured cuts the dress in a funny spot......I think if you cathedral.....i dunno its too much!  i think a finger tip length is perfect!!

    I had a fingertip length veil and loved it! It's the perfect hybrid between fun and formal. I also agree that something simple would be best because your (gorgeous) dress is pretty ornate.

    Love that dress on you! You look fabulous! That veil works great and no birdcage for sure!
