I would be tempted to go elbowlength so the veil stops before the dress gets interesting, but a sheer chapel length veil could work also. I wouldn't go mantilla, though... those always seem to go better with simpler dresses.
My first choice would be a chapel length too, but to honor your FI's wishes I'd go with the fingertip!
Your dress is gorgeous :)
I would do a two-tier fingertip veil with a cute edge and no embellishments. Or, depending on your size/height, a bubble veil could work (although not if you're tiny/petite).
I have a similar dress and I am doing a chapel length veil. I love the look and as long as it is sheer you can still see through it.
I would probably do a simple fingertip because the back has so much volume and you wouldn't want to cover it! Gorgeous dress.
I say go with the fingertip. A chapel length might detract from the interesting back, and a mantilla I think would be a little too much, since the dress is already so intricate.
I'm all about chapel length veils! It's not as if you'll be wearing it all night. . .even if a super sheer veil covers the back a bit, the reception is the long part and everyone can see the back then!
I created a poll!
@RecessionistaBride - I'd like to honor my FI's wishes, too, but if I can change his mind... :P
Do you ladies think that the one in the picture is too much for my dress? It is a mantilla veil ( I didn't even realize it until I looked at the name of the picture), but the trimming is very light/think, I guess? I kind of like this veil. Or do you think it's sitll too much detail and would compete with my dress?
I like the third pic of the fingertip veil. It won't take away from your dress.
Simple fingertip - don't outshine the dress. Definitely NOT a mantilla, I don't see that coordinating too well.
A fingertip would work well with the dropped waist.
I think a chapel length veil would be weird, like you had a cathedral veil and it got caught in the car on the way over and you had to rip the end off....
I think a sheer chapel veil would complete the look perfectly. Your dress is very dramatic and elegant that the chapel veil would complete it. As long as it's the right veil you shouldn't worry about it covering up the back of your gown, just think people wear veils over their faces for the entire ceremony.
You could even do a small trim on the veil around you face like the mantilla you had mentioned. I think as long as you don't add much to the bottom end of the veil you should be good.
Something like this would be perfect...NO trim please the simpler the better!

I need help with veil go with this dress! I love the dramatic look of chapel length veils, but my FI doesn't want the veil to cover up the back of the dress. Would a sheer (not as much gathering) chapel length veil be too much for my dress? I am thinking you can still see through the veil and it should be ok?
Another option I am thinking of is a 2-tiered fingertip length veil. I tried on a single layer finger length veil when I was trying on this dress at the store and I thought it looked too flat for the dress, as the bottom part is pretty full. What do you think of the length?
Mantilla?
Elbow length?
Help? I am open to suggestions!
The two pictures with the veils are what I have in mind.
