I’m dreaming about wearing a mantilla veil..and I know many friends that had the intent of wearing one, but fell in love with a dress that it just wouldn’t compliment. My idea of wearing a mantilla, is with a very simple, classic white dress:
But….I fell in love with a dress that doesn’t fit this description. Its more modern and has rouching details going on, for WB sake Ill post this dress, which looks something like it:
My dress has more pick ups, more modern, and casual fabric than this satin, and my sash is a plain color, no sparkles.
Is a mantilla veil going to clash with this more modern dress? Should I give up on my mantilla fantasy?
Oh the dreamyness of these pictures….
Please post pics of you in your mantilla veil! Did any of you start out wanting a Mantilla but changed your mind?
Thanks Bees!

I wore a mantilla veil but I wore it farther back than it is traditionally worn. I was not going to wear a veil at all only a hair flower but I saw this on the clearance rack when my dress finally came in and it seemed like fate to me. After seeing my pics I was so happy I wore it. (some of these are pro and some guest pics. )
I suggest trying some on once you dress comes in. I totally didn’t think I was a veil girl and then I came to love it.

I love mantilla veils. I am going to wear one!
I think I will go with a lace a little thicker than this one shown

Ooh I love them all! I also want the thicker lace! Keep the pics coming all you ladies look so pretty 🙂
I think next time I try on my dress I will try it with the mantilla they had in the store, although it was the thinner lace.

I wore a Mantilla veil. I don’t have any good pictures of it, but if you want to see a couple of teaser pictures here, you can see how I wore it.

@Miss Sardine: wear the veil you want. no one is going to judge you if your veil isn’t matchy match. You get married once, do it the way you want to.

I wanted mantilla but it was too much with my dress, so I opted for this veil – ignore the scary model

I vote Mantilla but I may be partial because I wore one.

The second pic is my actual dress and veil. I love the mantilla viel. It adds so much drama to the dress.
