Veil or Flowers?

Veil or Flowers? 3Hey there! I just bought my dress and now I’m trying to decide whether or not to wear a veil with it. Im torn because I love all the romantic photos you can take with long chapel veils, but I feel like this dress calls more for just little white flowers in my hair. I’ll be wearing my hair half up. What do you think? 😊

    I love your dress and how it looks on you. I'm usually a less is more person, so I vote flowers in your hair with no veil. The train on your dress needs no competition from a veil.

    I personally think that you could go either way with this dress! You could always do a shorter veil - one shorter than a chapel veil.

    I agree with the above! The back of the dress & the train are so beautiful. I would just go with flowers in your hair & let the dress shine on it's own. Smiley heart

    I love the dress on you!! Its gorgeous! I tried that one on and it was not it lol

    If you got a plain veil I think it would look nice, but I'm all for flower in your hair and letting your dress shine!

    That’s a good idea! When I go to pick up my dress I might see if they have any really simple shorter veils to try on

    You could get a cheaper veil just to get the pics you want, but during the ceremony/ other pictures/ reception/ whatever, just go with flowers!

    I would say no veil just because the dress is beautiful and that back needs to be captured in the photos

    I love veils, but I think none for this dress - the lace on the bottom of your train is so pretty and it would be a shame to cover it.

    I am envisioning some kind of hair ornament rather than real flowers. Maybe something like these?

    Why not both? But maybe tuck a simple raw edge veil into the back so it doesn’t take away from your dress.

    I'm currently in the same boat. My dress is very similar to yours. Lace with a really pretty open back with lace details. I was looking at simple fingertip length, but I would only wear it for the ceremony, so I decided to to a low messy bun with a fancy hair clip instead. I went back and forth so many times and I finally chose to nix the veil. I was afraid of it catching on stuff and just being a hindrance. Less is more, especially when your dress has so many beautiful details!

    Thank you so much Leanna!! It helps a lot to hear from someone else in the same boat Smiley smile I think you’re right that less is more. I think a veil with this dress will be a little too much and kind of hide the dress too much.
