I just purchased my dream dress yesterday, and it’s in Maggie Sottero’s "antique gold". I think I want to wear a veil, but I can’t decide what goes with gold. Haven’t seen many gold veils out there. Ivory? I was also thinking about playing with a white/gold bridal dupatta, but I haven’t gotten that far yet.
I love the veil I posted (found here on WB) but I can’t afford that. I guess I could attempt to make a toned down recreation but wow, that seems overwhelming.

hmm that is a hard thing to figure out. I have a Maggie dress but I am unsure of what the antuque gold looks like
My dress is in Champagne/light gold so I didnt want a regular white veil either as it was just too white on my dress and I ended up finding a veil that was called "rum" but it had a darker hue to it rather than it being white and it was that juust a bit of color to the veil that made it look much better against my dress. maybe you can find something simmilar rather then going for a white veil with gold accents (like the crazy amazing veil you posted above)

My sister wore a gold veil (it was like a sparkly net) with her antique gold dress (sorry, no online photos, it was just pre-digital). I’m not sure who made the veil, but she got it from her bridal shop. So they are definitely out there. Her dress was St. Pucchi…so the veil might have been as well. I would definitely suggest you call around to find out.

I am wearing a gold dress (Well, it is technically a dark champagne, but in no way could it pass for white) and I was in the same boat.
I ordered a veil from veilshop.com in the peach (I actually ordered their sample card, so I could see all the colors) and it looks PERFECT. it matches the dress without being all "whoa, is that a brown veil"
that is my suggestion!

My gown is also antique gold. I’m actually thinking about wearing an ivory or gold dupatta with light work on it so it’s not too heavy and doesn’t take away from the dress too much. Another bride here suggested a mantilla veil which also the look of a dupatta but again, don’t know what the gold options are for veils…
