I cant decide....

i REALLY Wanted a veil at my irst wedding, but was talked out of it by HIS bloody family saying it was only a registry office and why was i wearing a wedding dress for a registry office, i shoulda just got a dess or skirt suit....

NOw, i dont know whats going to go with my dress,... and if i have a veil it wont be over my face, just worts worn at the back of my head...
ok, i know i have plenty of time to sort this, but well I am impatient and i HAVE to ahve all these details sorted out in my head asap


IF i get one do i go for a short one... or the one i really want which is longer than my dress/

i just cant decide if one will go with my dress, as it isnt a wedding dress, it is a cocktail dress, so quite informal as a wedding dress, and plain.

and I dont want to buy a veil and THEN find it doesnt go.

arg there are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding lol

If it looks like a wedding dress then you shouldn't have no problem hun, im should it would look lovely, can you picture yourself with the dress and a veil on? xx

just thought of something else..... i am having a bolero and possibly gloves...... for two reasons one i will have flabby arms byt hen, after my gastic op and two have tattoos on my lower arms i want to cover up...

dont think it'll go with a veil

I think it's a personal choice, I'm just having a tiara. I tried a veil but I felt weird and it was alot of money for a bit of net.

I'm having a bolero and my dress shop suggested a veil and a tiara and a bolero is too much (talking themselves out of a sale!). I've looked online and I agree that you can have too much. I would say if you are having a bolero and gloves, perhaps only have a tiara or a veil. That's my opinion.

I'd say go for the veil for the ceremony, especially as you wanted one last time... you could then take the veil off for the reception and put a tiara on if you wanted xxx

I'm having a huge bow with a birdcage veil.

Wear what your heart tells you!

i think i will be having both

I'm having a feather head dress with a few crystals....unless I change my mind and have a tiara lol, but no veil.....I had one the first time round

Ha that is exactly what happened to me my first wedding was also kinda controlled by my exs family it couldnt be a church it had to be at a hotel and if it was a hotel to get a nice suit instead ok they were religous so i respected that and didnt have a church but they werent telling me what to wear!!! so this time my fiance has given me everything a lovely church and i have a lovely dress with a tiara and am gonna wear the veil at the back as its my 2nd wedding. however if you have a bolero and gloves i would just opt for a tiara

Janie why don't you have lacey sleeves sewn on to your dress - less bulky than a bolero, equally slimming (probably more so) and a veil wouldn't overload so much.

Not def decided yet but i want to have a side headband that is quite sparkly and a long veil not over my face.

If you can then try it all on with the dress to see. I was determined i didn't want a veil having tried a elbow length one but when i tried the cathedral length veil with my dress and the side headband i fell in love! Will go back and look again to make sure as it is a lot of money!

I agree with LMB - either sew on long sleeves or find a lace bolero, there are some really nice ones around :) (will try find a pic)
I think having a short sleeved bolero and then long gloves would look a bit odd...

Looking @ your dress pic I'd say a full length veil like you wanted will go really well with your dress! :)

But personally if I were having full length sleeves/bolero and a full veil I wouldn't have a tiara too. If you want some bling you can get veils with diamantes scattered on? Or maybe a simple diamante headband? Xx

Janie, take your dress into some bridal shops and try it all on together, including bolero and gloves. Ask the assistants or any other brides in the store if they think it works or looks too much! I did this as I've got a bolero with my dress and wondered if it was too OTT. I was convinced that it wasn't as long as the veil didn't go over my face.

Wear whatever you feel most beautiful in. It's your day ;) xx

The celine dion pic cracked me up.

Kate Middleton had sleeves, a tiara and a veil. Or look at dresses from the 40s to the 70s - they all have sleeves and veils. In the 80s and 90s the dresses started to overload on ruffles, poufy sleeves and sequins and then it started to look totally ott. So my conclusion - as long as you keep it sleek and not too fussy you can have it all!

Here are some pics:
Lace boleros:

Lace boleros/sleeves and veil:

Lace bolero & veil & tiara:

I think you will end up with too many different fabrics.

How tall are you Janie? I think if you are taller you can get away with three out of the four things, but not all four.

It doesn't have to look odd. Depends on the style of the bolero and dress. I found this pic Janie and it kinda works... it depends on your taste but there are options out there!

Sounds good Janie - I'm sure bridal shops near you will have plenty of options/combos you can try :)
(Then you can find them cheaper online lol) Xx

i need at least elbow length sleeves as after my op i will no doubt have huge saggy arms lol.

lace bolero, no gloves, small simple tiara OR HEADBAND! And simple veil MAYBE

if not sod the tiara I want my veil lol

Get your veil!

WELL DONE! Yaaay xx

I'm hoping to have both veil and tiara. Have whatever you want to have its your day xx
