    Hi Bees,

    I really wish veils didn't have so many options!  I just wanted some advice on what you think would look the best with my dress:

     

    No edging:

    Pencil edging:

    Beaded look:

    I voted for no edging, but would also vote for pencil edge.  I think you should avoid the beaded veil because they dress has so many great details.  Your dress is really beautiful!

    Ive voted pencil edging, your dress is beautiful and you dont want anything to take the shine away from it on the day, a simple classy veil will compliment it really well and accent the beauty of the dress x

    I think that the beaded veils might take away from the detail on your gown. I voted for the non-edge veil....gorgeous!

    Your dress is beautiful and should get to stand out on it's own, so I would go with the simpler first two veils. My first instinct picked the pencil-edged veil, but I also think the no edging veil would look great too.

    Hey Jenny it would help me immensely in helping you if I could see the entire gown, especially how the hem is done, because - usually - the edge of the veil needs to be done in a way that is similar to the hem whereas the length of the veil depends on the "breaking points" that your gown has. Therefore, I think I can't advise you without seeing the gown in its entirety.

    I think the pencil edging has just enough detail and not too much to overtake you and your dress.  I think it is the perfect balance!

    Thanks for all the votes and advice!  I tried to attach another pic of the whole dress to the initial post, but that didn't work so here it is:

    Either scalloped edge or with ruffles (both would match your gown!).

    Thanks, bees for all the help.  I ordered the 2 tiered, pencil edge with no beading.  I was going to go for the no-edge, but my mom wanted the pencil!

    Thanks again for all the advice!
