MemberSo this is my dress, but I’m not sure what veil lenght would look the best with it?
Help!!!!!
MemberSo I wore a fit n flare lace and tulle wedding gown, similar to yours in detailing. I originally tried on a bunch of different size veils with mine and the cathedral was just way too long and way too much with my dress, even though I had it in mind that that was the length I wanted….plus I really didn’t want to cover the back of my train with tulle from the veil so I chose an elbow length veil with lace detailing on the bottom…I’ll post a pic for reference. It ended up working out perfectly and didn’t feel like the veil was competing with my dress…
MemberWow you two look beautiful!!
you definitely made the right choice. The veil is perfect for your dress!
Thanks for the advice! 🙂
Where did you purchase the veil?
MemberFinger-tip or chapel length raw-edge single layer veil. That back is too pretty to hide so the more sheer the better.
Memberchaneladdict : thank you Bee! I got it from the dress shop where I bought my dress! I spent way too much on it and I’m still annoyed about it but I tried looking for different ones online and in cheaper stores but I just couldn’t find one that literally had like the exact lace from my dress that this veil had! And I was also nervous to buy a veil elsewhere without trying it on with my dress on because of the colors. I wasn’t sure if I should get white, off white, Ivory, champagne, etc. bc my dress had a nude underlay so it def wasn’t white white…. I spent $350 and it was annoying because it’s literally a piece of tulle with some chunks of lace 😳
MemberP.s. When does your dress come in? Would love to see it on! It’s gorgeous!!!
MemberCheekie0077 : oh girl! I love seeing your pics again! So pretty!!
chaneladdict : your dress is gorgeous! I wouldn’t want to hide the back, I agree with PP:-)
Member Cheekie0077 : Thanks! My dress would be in around April! 
Memberchaneladdict : i would do a 1 layer raw edge finger tip veil on a comb with beads. This way you can still see the beautiful back.

MemberI agree with the other bees, 1 layer and raw-edge fingertip veil. The back of your dress is gorgeous, definitely should be shown off.
Memberchaneladdict : I think a fingertip veil could make your dress look too ‘busy’ in the middle, I would go for a long (chapel or floow length) veil! And no beading so it doesn’t distract from your beautiful dress 🙂
MemberI likw the idea of a raw-edge veil as others suggest, but I would go longer. You can shorten a cathedral length to suit the train, but a simple, one-tier/layer full length would be so beautiful. To me, the shorter fingertip veil with your wedding dress style would feel top heavy and bottom heavy. I think the beauty in your dress is the shape, and a long simple veil will give it the attention the dress deserves 🙂
MemberYou are absolutely correct.
Thank you so much for the advice, I would go long then 🙂
