    I can't figure out what type of veil will go best with my dress?? I know I don't want a cathedral length veil, but I'm not sure what kind? My hair will be this length or shorter at the time of the wedding, and since its short it will probably be down and wavy-ish. Or wedding isn't super formal so I'm not even completely sure if I'd want a veil...

    What do you ladies think?

    Thanks for your help! :)

    I think a long veil would look great with that beautiful train!

    I think you could really go with whatever you want. If you don't want something long, you can go with a fingertip veil, or something even shorter could be fun.

    OOh, I love the blue.  I think, as someone said, pretty much any style would work with that, but if you wanted to go edgy, a fascinator/bridcage with a blue accent in it would look fab.

    I had the same problem...  Although, depending what your views are, the veil is traditional.  I've decided to do the veil, but not over my face, it's going to be tucked in the back on my hair (i will be wearing my hair half up).  The veil I chose just falls above the waist line...  very plain with a few accents around the edging... nothing special...  I think the same type would fit you perfect.

    Ok, I got completely sidetracked on the question because I LOVE YOUR TATTOO!!! Gorgeous!! 

    About a veil - I think just about anyting would work with the dress, depending on what kind of feel you want.  Perhaps something more dramatic for the ceremony then taking it off for the reception?

    I think that a birdcage veil would look great with your dress. A long veil would cover up the gorgeous corset back and your tattoo.

    I think a birdcage would be great since it won't hide your angel wings either. alternatively, an elbow or fingertip might work. try one with a rolled /pencil edge or even cut edge so it's more discreet

    I was thinking something short and poofy, similar to what melodicsigh posted.  I really like the idea of not covering up the gorgeousness that is your figure, tattoo and dress!

    Short, short or very long, I think. A short bubble veil or birdcage would be super cute and a long cathedral length veil would be very elegant. What sort of mood are you aiming for?

    Thanks for all your opinions! Here's the "mood" of the wedding: Short fun dresses for the BMs, tuxedos for the guys, catholic wedding (by default), but FI and I don't take ourselves too seriously :P. He specifically asked that I not have anything in fron tof my eyes :).

    I would say a short veil.  Too long and it will cover up the back of your dress.
