I think any drop veil option would be lovely. They are sheer and romantic and would go great with the look you already have planned!
As for the sash.. you could, but its definitely not necessary ! You look fabulous either way ! ๐

@fredericksondes: i looooovve the whole look and feel of your dress and accessories. i dont think a sash is necessary and would probably just be distracting. its not needed on the dress as your waist is already defined by the rouching.
i ADORE your crystal headpeice….where is that from??? can u send me link??

@Khlobee: yes it looks exact! you can actually manipulate it slightly so you can get it to sit on your head/hair accordingingly. this is mine.

@fredericksondes: I remember you posting about your amazingly gorgeous headpiece a while back. I think a drop veil is a perfect choice (I adore them to no end and think they don’t get enough play).
Have you looked at Etsy for drop veils? Despite the creepy photo, this one is lovely and super sheer. So, it’d showcase your headpiece beautifully.

Or you can check out used/preowned sites for gorgeous drop veils for less. I would also look for a silk or silk/blend tulle veil. Those drape better than the stiffer nylon tulle.
As for the sash, you have an incredible figure, and I don’t think you need a sash since those tend to do the opposite of slimming/accentuating the waist. Plus, the ruching on the dress provides the slimming effect already.

Have you tried lightinthebox.com? I ordered my veil from them. They have HUNDREDS to choose from and the prices are definitely right!
Also, they have waltz-length veils, which I didn’t even know exsisted, and turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Mine hits about mid thigh in the back and I ADORE it! This may be the right length for you too!
Good luck!

I say no sash — I also say you’re insane for thinking your body is “squarish”, you have a beautiful waist.

I wanted a longer veil, but not a cathedral length, because I felt that it would be a little cumbersome. I bought a Waltz Length Veli, which hits me about mid thigh (I’m 5’3″). I got it from lightinthebox.com for a VERY reasonabel price, and it’s beautiful. I hope this helps!
