why are veils so ridiculous looking? Seriously, the only ones that look good to me are the retro netting ones, i think they are called birdcages (see below)
however my problem is that I don't think this will go with my dress. i'll have to mock it up in photoshop but i think i will have to stick with traditional.
Since i am attempting to make my own veil i have been doing some research and have found that there are all these rules that go along with veils. a lady has seriously made a webpage dedicated to how people wear their veils all wrong. for example i have seen a lot of brides that wear their veil under their hair bun. according to this lady that is wrong... who knew!
then the whole length deal. i could get one that was to my shoulders or one that is longer than my dress train. the rule of thumb here is that if your dress has decoration of any kind on the back it should fall above or below it. if the veil ended right in the middle of the back deco then it would be too busy and you would loose the detail. ah
i do know that i do NOT want to look like a snow beast with the veil perched way atop my head like this poor thing:
