English net veils: pros/cons?

Hi all,


I still have not chosen a veil. I keep going back and forth about what I want: lace or no lace? Cathedral or waist-length? English net or bridal illusion?
In particular, I am wondering if anyone has experience with the pros and cons of English netting. My understanding is that it drapier and more opaque. I’m having a hard time imagining what this would look like with my dress, but I like the idea of a more opaque veil in theory.
I am especially wondering if it makes a difference for hairstyles? As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I have quite thin and fine hair, and I plan to use extensions and everything but I’m wondering if English net is a heavier fabric that will squash my hairdo or make the veil more likely to come loose.
Thoughts and photos appreciated. Many thanks.
