I would like to know what kind of veil should I wear? I am not sure if I need a long veil or a fingertip veil. I do not want to be overpowered by my dress and veil. Im a size 6. And I would like to wear a blusher and a tiara, but I am not sure if they can both be worn at once...I am not sure how I want my hair, it is shoulder length and straight... I do not really want it all in curls or in that hairstyle you see a lot with like a big ball of curls with a tiara, and the veil coming from underneath it...Also any websites of wedding veils, i have looked at some, but so far they werent much help.

Answer 1

I would go with a fingertip, plain veil. Perhaps with silver threading along the edges. Make sure it is in the color of the dress you get (I notice it is available in oyster, white, and ivory). If you don't, the veil won't match the dress. There isn't much of a different between those three colors until you pair them with each other.

www.weddingchannel.com has chat boards where people have posted hundreds of wedding hairstyles. You will be able to find a lot of elegant hairstyles that are not just curls piled high. With an updo, you put the tiara in front, and the veil is pinned behind. This would be the best style for you, since you don't want to be overpowered by the veil.

Answer 2

What a fabulous dress! It is just gorgeous. With your small stature, though, you should go very simple with the veil or you will completely disappear into all the fabric. Elbow length at the longest. Personally, I would not want to see you wear a blusher . . . I know it's very romantic, but you will be all but invisible as you walk down the aisle.

Another thought would be to not wear a veil at all, but just do a beautiful tiara or some hair jewelry. That can be stunning, especially with an ornate dress.

Answer 3

You want something that doesn't take away from such a gorgeous dress!
Probably something no longer than elbow length would work. And you should be able to get the tiara & blusher to work.

In fact, if you or someone in your family is barely handy with a needle & thread, you can make a veil for a fraction of what it costs you retail. If you have a JoAnn's or other fabric store near you, just go in & talk to someone. And don't buy that tulle in the packages. You NEVER get all the wrinkles out.

in case you will placed on your hair in a voluminous updo, a veil would not look top. A flower could look stunning, yet i do no longer think of a birdcage veil is going with that form of gown. even however, I do trust those posters who suggested you're able to look like a triangle with that finished-skirted gown and an updo. long wavy hair and veil could look the main suitable.

Answer 5

Try LCBridal.com. They only sell to retailers but they have TONS of pics to look at. I got mine from them through customweddingsolutions.com. They offered the best price. I just emailed the second place i mentioned and told them what i wanted. It was great!

Answer 6

I prefer hair that is shoulder length or longer, And since that men who like women are more often then not straight, they like long hair because it looks more feminine, as most guys have short hair.

Answer 7

long hair is nice but requires upkeep and u have to grow it out for a long time

Answer 8

I don't think a veil is necessary unless you absolutely want one. try TheKnot.com. They have all kinds of sources and things. Good luck! BTW...very pretty dress!
