back detail dresses and veils?

sweetlikechocolate, 10 of July of 2014 at 13:23 Posted on Planning 0 15


I am looking at accessories to go with my dress and trying to decide whether or not to have a veil. My dress has pretty back detailing and I am not sure if a veil would ruin it. Anyone else had a similar dress and what did you do?

    Couple of options, based on all the reading I've done about veils:

    1. Consider where the details are on the dress and have a veil that doesn't cover them

    Or 2. Go for a simple 1 layer veil, no details on it, so that the dress can be seen through it?

    Gorgeous dress BTW!!

    Have you tried any veils on, I was umming and ahhing about a veil as my dress also has a lovely keyhole back, when I tried one, I hated the feeling of it and couldn't wait to get it off!!

    Problem solved!

    My dress has a similar back to yours. I've not ordered a veil yet, but tried on several styles, i'll be going for a single tier with lace edging that matches my dress. I wasn't sure if i wanted a veile or not, but tried it on and it just finished off the dress!

    Gorgeous dress. The back of mine is similar and I've decided not to have a veil.

    This is mine -

    Lottie is this an Essense of Australia dress? It's beautiful! So is OP dress! I don't think a veil would detract from the gorgeous back detail. Mine has a fancy back and I've decided to heve a veil just for the ceremony and photo opportunity - some of the photos using the veil as a feature are gorgeous!

    I agree and for purely selfish reasons I do miss it when there is not a veil, the way it lights up with the sun behind it is great, and can sometimes give the effect of a diffused glow around the bride - softening the light on the face, and I am also able to have fun and do stuff like this.

    Ooooh I like the idea of a birdcage. Any recommendations? And has anyone got any flashes of them in theirs?

    I'm in the same quandry - hairdresser has recommended I have a veil but my dress has lots of back detail around where a veil might hit and not sure a short one would work for me!


    Your dress has lots of beautiful shoulder detail so I think one with not too much material and not too long would look gorgeous with your lovely dress - you can always ditch it after a bit if you feel like it Smiley smile
