Wilson2Bee: Amazon! I was actually looking for something else for my oldest daughter and came across it.

Wilson2Bee: thank-you! The dress is this one: http://www.justinalexanderbridal.com/mobile/wedding_dresses/8741
but I had tucked in the straps into the dress to make it strapless. It come wth straps and when I get I can try it both ways but will prob go the strapless route in the end!
Haha oops! I just realized now you were talking to catchyscreenname! She does have a really pretty dress!
I wasn’t worried about matching, but I had originally thought I wanted a Swiss dot veil – and then I ended up with a lace dress and decided maybe a little too much! I ended up picking a lace edging to match my shoes, and did cathedral length so that I could have a train for the ceremony, and then the dress had no train for the rest of the night!
It was one of my favorite details 🙂
I don’t think you can go wrong with a lace, beaded, or plain tulle veil. Depends on what look you are going for and your other accessories, and what length you choose. I have a lace dress and bought a very simple rhinestone and beaded edge fingertip-length veil to add some bling. Some lace veils I found too heavy or overpowering but some were absolutely gorgeous.
The back of the dress is butchered in clips, but you get the idea. I went with a cathedral veil. The edge is kind of like a cross between raw cut and horsehair.
I personally think cathedral-length veils are WAAAAY too much for mermaid dresses. I would vote for finger-tip veils to show off the bottom half of the dress. Cathedral/floor-length should be only for ballgowns or thick A-lines.
