My veil doesn't match my dress :(

Jenny, on June 24, 2017 at 12:32 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 18

I love my dress but its been a pain in the ass because it's a more cream color than most bridal ivories. Champagne looks a little too dark, but ivory looks too pale. Anyways, I ordered my veil after trying it at the salon and thinking I had finally found a match (I did it in an evening sess, and did not look at the bunched tulle vs. the dress).

Now that I've recieved it, the veil is definitely a lighter shade. Is this a big deal? I don't want to look weird or like I ordered a $12 dollar veil off of Amazon

    Mines doesn't match either. It's hard to match a lace with another lace. But honestly I think you could barely tell. When I went veil shopping, the girl told me that when the light hits it or if you're looking at it in " non light" it looks a different color. I kept telling her my dress is ivory the veil looked white. But when I got it home the color was fine, lace is different. Which I'm okay with.

    I don't think it has to be an exact match. Have you tried them on together? Can we see a picture?

    It's hard to get an exact match laying the veil over the dress. Can you enlist someone who doesn't know your concern to take a look from a few feet away when you're wearing the dress and see if they even notice?

    I doubt anyone will notice - mine is ivory and my dress is ivory over antique blush. So mine won't really match either. With your pictures, I would never notice it tbh

    My veil looks very dark when it is bunched, but it's an identical match for my light ivory/off white dress when it's laying appropriately. It may also look entirely different in your venues lighting

    By the way, where did you get your darker veil?

    I totally understand what you mean, although from the pictures, your veil will be spread out when you're wearing it and I don't think you'll be able to tell the difference.

    If it really bothers you try Blanca Veils on etsy. You can order samples of material and trim to ensure they match with your dress.

    I think the veil looks just fine with the dress. Very beautiful
