okay, i have shoes. that''s it. i''m clueless as to what to do for a veil (my wedding is october 11th, and i still don''t have a veil!), so any suggestions? i know i don''t want a really long one because a) ALL of my friends have worn one, and b) i''m 5''2", so they make me feel a bit overwhelmed. WARNING: i''m about to go on a picture frenzy...i think i''d like something that coordinates with the details on my dress, so i''m going to post 150 pictures of my dress''s details.

if nothing else, the pictures may lure in additional help, haha! thanks in advance, ladies!! first, the model pic of my dress...

You already have shoes, right?

Then I can''t help.

I think I need pics of the shoes....

you''ve seen the shoes, but here''s another with it on MY foot!

hey doodle

beautiful dress - where''s it from? I think it''s so gorgeously embellished that a simple veil would be good so as not to clash or overpower the dress (otherwise, it might be hard to find lace to match the hem). I''d be tempted to go for something with a beaded edge to compliment the sequins on the dress, possibly fingertip length that allows the back of the dress to speak for itself.

Here''s a possible one with a rhinestone edge (waist length) from www.bridalpeople.com that retails for $193, just within yr budget

or you could try a bubble veil which is shorter and more ''pouffy'', will attach one in separate post (can''t do more than one pic at once)

 

[trinity911]

had another look at your sequins - are they gold or slightly champagne-y? If so, there''s a lovely waist length ivory veil with gold embroidery / beading from http://beautiful-bridal.com/veils/designer/AA99384.html

or, I''ve just noticed there''s a pearl border on the dress (is that right), if so maybe a pearl edge veil? this one''s a bit shorter:

or scattered pearls and rhinestones (pretty)

or, I think a 2-3 tier flyaway veil might work e.g. http://cgi.ebay.com/Flyaway-Bridal-Veil-on-Comb-Antique-Gold-Metallic_W0QQitemZ200166136153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200166136153&_trkparms=72%3A1077%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14 (i know it''s ebay but it''s the best pic of one i could find and it''s done in lots of different colours)

or even a funky cage veil like this one from erica koesler (http://www.bestbridalprices.com/wedding-veils-and-wedding-tiaras-erica-koesler-c-2_795.html?page=3&sort=1) - it comes in champagne which i think would look great with the dress


Right, think I''m done now. thanks for indulging my current obsession - veils!

wow, trinity, you''re good! i didn''t realize i had so many options! i think the colors in my dress are throwing me a bit--the dress is ivory with ivory sequins and silver seed beads, so i know ivory fabric would most likely work best, but should any ornamentation on it be ivory or silver? ha, i''m waaaaay over thinking this! my obsession with detail is why i''ve done FINE with no wedding planner, but maybe i should''ve hired a stylist!

thanks so much for making me realize i can do a lot more with my dress than just a plain cathedral veil!

 

[trinity911]

hey, you''re welcome; like i said, it''s my latest thing after dresses, venues, flowers, invitations and table plans (i''ve only been engaged a few months!)..like you i''m obsessed with details! I think an ivory veil is def the way forward with yr dress, don''t think the colour of the detailing will matter so much if it''s subtle. let us know what you decide!!

Are you having a tiara? I think that''s going to be my next obsession

 

[doodle]

i nixed a tiara in favor of a floral hairpiece (something else i need to buy, argh!), so i''m thinking i''ll do my hair like this...

 

[doodle]

and put something like one of these in it.

Hey Doodle!! Sorry for taking so long to respond. So you want something that works with your dress and floral piece, right? Beautiful gown, btw!

I think you would need to order any of these in ivory/candlelight to really match the dress.

If this were shorter it might work: Floral detail on veil .

This looks a lot like my veil and I think this may work and keep with the floral

More floral

Elbow length with floral detail

Let me know if you like the floral at all, if not I will keep looking!

thanks sarah--i love those!! i read from a few older posts that occanseybridal.com was really good, so i think i may contact her to see what she can come up with. i''m panicking because at this point, i''ve waited too late to order from a lot of places, so i need to get it done! now i have some pics to show her of things i like, so thanks to all of you for giving me some ideas! i really appreciate it!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

No problem, let us know how it goes. It will work out!! It''s late, but it''s not like the wedding is tomorrow either so I think it''ll be fine!

Pretty veil quickly PS dust!

 

[doodle]

my first fitting is wednesday (for some reason, i''m REEEEEAAAALLY nervous!), and my mom has graciously volunteered to go a-browsing for veils--my mother hates shopping, so i''m touched!

hopefully, that PS dust''ll kick in on wednesday around 2:30!
