Help with veil/headpiece! *FLASHES PLEASE*

Jonesey, 9 of January of 2012 at 17:41 Posted on Planning 0 36

Hi all,

I am seriously struggling to decide what kind of veil and headpiece to wear to match my dress (flashes below sorry they're so humongous!) as it's lace but with crystal detailing on it so I don't know whether to go with a lace or sparkly veil, short or cathedral length ? and also to add to my indecision I can't decide whether to have a tiara or a side hairpiece. I definitely want a bit of bling in my hair but nothing OTT as my dress has a lot on it, I've been looking into "vintage" looking tiara's but I can't decide what will match so would really appreciate another perspective and lots of flashes please! Especially if you've got pics of your veil/headpieces.

I will flash my dress (if I must! hehe any excuse), which will be in ivory and I think my hair will probably be all up.

Hope someone can give me some/any ideas! And if there are any HIB's out there that can advise me it would be appreciated!

Thanks

    FishTail dresses look stunning with cathedral length veils ( with or without crystals) as for hair piece it is again a personal opinion and preference but I love side headbands or combs with vintage inspired dresses. It's a gorgeous dress btw

    Oh and if you're looking for a recommendation I can't praise the work of Kerri at star stuck designs highly enough ( we stock her in the shop) www.starstruck-designs.co.uk

    I'm not sure what length veil, but I think one without lace would be nice - let the dress (which is amazing, wish I could pulll that shape off) do the talking. I'd go for a side tiara or comb.

    I really like short veils, but thats just my personal opinion. As for the hair I think with a dress like that a side comb would look lovely.

    Your dress is totally stunning by the way ?

    I have a lace dress and have gone for this side tiara. Veils are done to personal choice. I would go for a pretty plain veil so not to distract away from ur stunning dress.

    Thank you all for your replies ? I knew I could rely on you lovely hitched lot to help me out.

    Mrs H 2B that is gorgeous! I have 99% decided that I want a side tiara or a comb now and so will have a look at the websites suggested. Also I'm edging towards a more plain veil as the dress has so much detail and it means I can get away with a glitzier headpiece. Thanks all x

    I agree that a plain veil with a sparkley side tiara would look lovely, as you could always take the veil off after the ceremony and pics.

    I recommend Lisa - Louloubelle (a HIB on here) She is amazing. This is mine -

    I really like your side tiara Mrs Henderson.

    I'm also stuck on what type of veil to wear. I like the sound of cathedral length with your OP, as suggested.

    I wore this:

    Shows the head band (my veil sat just behind it)


    The veil sat behind my fringe, and head band but in front of the volume.



    Then with the veil back you can see the scalloped edge. I didn't want anything too fancy and whilst wearing a veil completed the look I wanted (and made me feel 'bridal') they're a pain in the bum to wear! The catch the wind and get in the way of hugs and kisses! I was so pleased I steered away from the cathedral length one I'd originally ordered!


    Hope they help!

    Wowie thanks everyone for your replies and flashes! There are so many lovely headpieces and veils, I'm overwhelmed with all the sparkliness!

    Cricks I really love your hairpiece and veil combo, I have decided I'm definitely going to wear a side tiara/comb on the side rather than a full tiara, my mind is 100% made up! (yippee!)

    I very nearly ordered this dress myself after trying it on about 5 times! When i had it on i put it with a fingertip length veil and also a side tiara. The veil had tiny crystals and pearls in it as does the detail on the dress if i remeber correctly. It wasnt too much as they were so small so they just caught the light.

    Stunning dress ?

    Hi Mrs Jones2Be. Firstly excellent choice of dress, I tried that one on and it was defintely a consideration for me, but I went with something else similar.

    This is my headpiece


    And this is the veil I am after but hip length

    I will do Mrs P and yes please a flash or your veil when you choose it would be fab!

    Chidders, where is your headpiece from? it's a stunner!

    I have gone from having no idea to having so many that I really like...would it be greedy to have 10!? ?
