My wedding dress?

Question

Should I have a long, medium, or shoulder length veil with my dress? My mama thinks a long one would be most elegant with this mermaid-style of dress.

thanks!

Answer 1

I'd go with something shoulder length so that you're still able to show off that dress!!

Answer 2

What a beautiful dress!!! That's the kind of dress that will look great with any length veil, or no veil at all. It's totally up to the style of veil you like. If there is a lot of detail in the back, then you don't want to cover it up with a veil, but if that is not the case, I think a long one would look the best-waltz or chapel length would be so elegant. Also, not a real pouffy veil either.

Answer 3

I would say stay away from short. Elbow length would be nice. Don't go too long, because the silhouette of this dress is lovely, and you don't want to obstruct that from the back with a too long veil. Another thing I learned to take into consideration when planning a wedding, is that you should think about your height when choosing a veil. A too long veil will make a short/petite girl look dwarfed. I also agree that it would look very nice with no veil at all, just an elegant up-do and some pretty barrettes.

Your dress is almost exactly the same as my sisters dress...we tried on dozens of veils (I picked mine in 2 minutes, she still hasnt picked!)

Personally I really liked the veils that came down right below your shoulder. I wouldnt go any longer because it covers the lines of the dress and covers your bare arms and shoulders (which you dont want to cover because I think its more elegant)

Your dress is beautiful! You should have a veil that adds to the dress and not distracts from it. Dont go super short but I wouldnt go super long either. Remember that no matter what your veil looks like you will look great! Have a great wedding!

Answer 5

I think that any size would work. A long veil is going to elongate you even more than the dress will. An elbow length that flares and has a trim to match your dress would absolutely look gorgeous. The dress is so elegant, it wouldn't necessarily need one. It is your wedding day, go try each size on and shoot snapshots. Use these snap shots to evaluate your opinion!

Good luck, and have fun on your wedding day!

Answer 6

What a georgeous dress! I would say a long veil or a shoulder length veil. As a matter of fact, any veil would look fabulous with this gown. Very nice. Lots of Luck

Answer 7

You asked for opinions. Mine is...don't wear a veil if this is the dress you're wearing. It's absolutely elegant. Just wear your hair up with some nice barrettes or a tiara or flowers.

That would complete the look elegantly! Wear diamond stud earrings or short drop earrings and wear a delicate necklace.
With the hair up, the jewelry and your bouquet, you will look gorgeous!

Answer 8

with a mermaid style the long veil just does something for the dress and it provides a little more train. very classy

Answer 9

It depends on how tall you are. My sister-in-law is a well-known bridal gown designer in NYC and made my daughter's wedding gown. My daughter is petite,5' tall and thought she had to have short veil, but my sister-in-law recommended a cathedral length because it actually gave her a longer,unbroken line.

Answer 10

I'd vote for medium one. I think a long one might take away from the dress, which is absolutely gorgeous by the way. :)
