Birdcage or cathedral veil?

I'm torn between a birdcage or cathedral length veil. I envisioned birdcage because my dress feels sorta vintage. I tried on cathedral length veils with my dress and loved it. I did a makeup and hair trial; now I'm loving the birdcage veil. My fiancé loves the pinup girl look so I'm thinking I should go for it. What do you think? Cathedral veil pic to follow.

    Like others have said, I think you pull off the birdcage very well. But I don't think that style necessarily goes with the style of the dress (which is gorgeous btw). I also don't like the cathedral veil, because I think it takes away from the details on the back/bottom of the dress. I know it wasn't one of your options so I'm not sure if you're into it, but I think a fingertip veil would look great.

    I'm not well educated in birdcage veils, but if it comes in a different material other than the fishnet, that might go a little better with the dress.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm going to keep looking and see what I decide. Sorry for the delayed reply back. We celebrated my birthday/engagement party over the weekend.

    I really don't ever have opinions about veils, but I am 100% positive that I like the cathedral veil at least 6,000x better than the birdcage veil. It just looks timeless and beautiful, and really looks like it was made for the dress.

    Gorgeous dress btw!

    Cathedral is beautiful!!! And I love how the bottom looks like it flows off the rest of your dress

    I have never liked birdcages for a wedding. That's just me. This is the one chance you'll ever get to wear a cathedral veil. Which I find stunning with your dress! Cathedral all the way!

    The birdcage looks great on you but I prefer the veil with your chosen dress

    Cathedral. The dress doesn't fit the birdcage for me... I pictured more of a truly vintage or long sleeve or high neckline dress with birdcage. I also just dislike birdcage veils in general... my friend had her lashes caught in one and it was a hot mess lmao. Either way I think know you'll look great!
