Charlotte, 23 April, 2022 at 17:42 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 25
Just after some advice from some others. More like confirmation.
I've just had my final fitting for my dress, it's a stunning white lace strapless gown, corset laced back, sweetheart neckline. It has a huge train which flares really wide. I'm having my hair in a curled updo, with wispy bits just framing my face.
My parents said the dress speaks for itself, no need for any veil or even any hair piece. I've looked at a veil with the dress and it looked off but I'm just wondering if it would look "too plain"? Without any veil or hair piece....thanks xx

    Congratulations on finding your dress it sounds beautiful!
    If you tried it with a veil and wasn't keen then go with your gut. I very much doubt it would look plain at all but if you wanted a bit of something to add - with a sweetheart neckline and an up do then maybe there is scope for a nice necklace and matching earrings? Or if you want something to go in the hair maybe incorporate a flower or two? Simple is always better in my opinion especially if you have a stunning dress! 😊 Hope this helps x

    Becky. I know my H2B has been asking for a day were they can possibly find me a gift so I think I might just mention it to her. She also thought there was something not right with the veil. I don't know if it was because the other dresses I've tried on have been ivory and this is white, but I think there can't be that much difference 😅
    Thanks for your help xx

    Thanks Michelle,, no I was thinking about it being curled and just having it all pinned up with some loose bits. So no comb or even fancy pins. I'll see if I can attach the image Accessories 1

    Yeah I've seen that. Its beautiful isn't?
    I'm still thinking, I'm really unsure about having nothing in my hair. I'm gonna message my hairdresser and ask her opinion too. I don't think I will but I wanted others opinions or tips. Thanks hun for sending it over xx

    It’s totally personally preference and is up to you!
    If you feel like a veil doesn’t look quite right then there’s nothing saying you have to have one.

    The hairstyle you’ve chosen looks beautiful so if you don’t want any hair accessories then I don’t think there’s any risk of you looking plain at all!
    I think someone said earlier on that you could wear a necklace or some delicate earrings to add some accessories but there’s no need for anything super blingy if that’s just not you.
    Do whatever feels right for you 🤍

    Thanks Charlotte. I do have a pair of delicate teardrop crystal earrings, like in the photo. So I think I might just see if I can get the necklace to match. I feel alot better knowing from you ladies that it won't be plain. The support and confidence that's given is lovely.

    Hi, the dress sounds beautiful but it’s all down to how you feel. If you personally feel like a veil will be too much or not you, what about a hair comb? Or if your hair is perfect as is, a lovely necklace would be just as beautiful and simple.

    If it makes you feel better, I'm also going with no veil or hairpiece. I worried it didn't look bride-y enough but when I tried a few things on I felt they just detracted from, rather than adding to my dress. I've gone for a big sparkly pair of earrings and that is all.

    I'm definitely going no veil! Similar to you I just felt it covered up my dress! Debating a bridal boho headband but quite willing to have no headpiece whatsoever if nothing feels like winner - people on this group really helped me realise that you only need it if it makes YOU feel special, because you're in a wedding dress so you already look like a show stopping bride!

    Thanks Chloe. The weddings I've attended they've all had a veil and it made me think will I look "out of place" or "underdressed " without some sort of headwear. But inside I felt the dress just "says it all"....we're going with rustic theme throughout so I've searched bridal boho ideas but nothing stands out to me. Maybe I'm just too fussy 😄 xx

    Yeah that's exactly how I feel. The veil just doesn't look right, it almost spoils the dress. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is having this "issue". Enjoy ladies xxx

    This is my hair trial the other day, I am not having a veil and this hair accessory is only from Amazon, I am going to have 2 pearl hair grips in each side to add a bit of interest but that is it. I wanted to be able to see the back of my dress as there is a pearl detail on there. Good luck whatever you decide!
