So I have the choice of two veil lengths... either a fingertip length, or chapel length. I forgot to take pictures with them with the dress on when I was getting it altered. I just can''t decide between the two. They''re both narrow, and not poofy at the top at the comb. I''ll be wearing it on the back of my head, not the top - on top of the bun or whatever I have with my hair in the back. Both are plain with no beading, and have a small pencil edge.
I really like the photos you can do with the longer ones blowing in the wind and all that stuff, but I worry about it being to heavy/cumbersome after a while through the afternoon/evening. At first, I wasn''t even going to do a veil - so I just worry about it being way too much for me. I''ll likely have it on for a while through the hours of pictures before, and the ceremony itself. I''d probably take it off after that, as we''re doing a tour of the winery then dinner - and my dress will be bustled for that.
I also really liked the fingertip on me with the dress. It still made me feel bridal, but not SO much that I felt silly. Just pretty. I liked it hanging all behind me, just straight down so you could see it behind me from the front, but not all spread around my shoulders. I could possibly keep this on all night if I wanted, since it wouldn''t interfere or cover the bustle.
So, I just need you ladies'' opinions! Here''s a few photos... the back of the dress is beaded through the bodice, then from the waist down is plain with buttons running all the way down the train. The fingertip veil hit right below my rear. And of course, the longer one is chapel length. I just wonder about if it would look right to have the longer one chopping off the line of the train. Does that even matter? Would one look better than the other?
This is the back:
Better shot of the back (ignore how she''s holding it up):
The front, for reference:
And this is an example of the bustle they''re doing - it''ll look almost just like this:
I also suppose if an overwhelming amount of people think a cathedral length would be best since it would probably match the length of the dress, I could go pick up one of those instead. I just worried about it being even more cumbersome than the chapel length, especially considering how much dress I''m already going to be carrying around.
