Hi Ladies,
Im wearing a gray lace wedding dress with white sattin underneath. Like this:

I want to wear a veil (not a birdcage) but Im not sure how it will look with a coloured dress? The dress hasnt been made yet so I cant try it on to see what it would like like. Any ideas? Would a white net veil work or will I have to go with something coloured?

@Suikerbossie: Could you do a white veil with a gray lace edge? Using the same lace that’s being used on the dress? Just make sure the white of the veil matches the white satin underlay.

@Suikerbossie: I actually really love the look of a white veil with a coloured dress. I think this e.g. is just stunning:
And there’ll be less of a contrast with your dress anyway because there’s a white satin underlay. The photos are pretty small but a white veil with a grey dress looked great in this wedding:

I think a white veil will be fine. That lace is GORGEOUS btw! I can’t wait to see your dress once it’s finished!

I think it should look fine to be honest.. if you can get the veil to have grey work on it, I think it would look pretty nice too!

Thanks everyone! I really like the idea of putting grey into the veil..that could really work well! 🙂
