me and df now cant agree on veil length (petty i know but i wanna know what you ladies say)
he doesnt want me to have something that he has to flip,and then flip and then flip just to uncover my face so he wants me to have a shoulder length
i want an elbow length, i think it would be pretty lol
so which length would go best with this dress? (same dress just has strings in the skirt to poof it)

I think an elbow length would be beautiful with that. Your veil does not have to cover your face. You can wear it more like a mantilla and not have it covering your face but just come down the back. I had an elbow length veil and I did not have it cover my face. I wore it attached to a pretty hair piece and it just flowed down my back - it gave me the tradition of wearing a veil but without having anything impede my face.
Quoting Metteba:
Thats first a man getting picky about a veil...ha ha he he ho ho.
I personally love the vintage simplicity of the birdcage veils, but they are very trendy right now. So I went with a classic fingertip length veil for our ceremony this past Spring.
I like the middle picture for the visual of the different lengths, but I would define birdcage veil more like THIS:
Nothing to flip for the kiss since the lips are exposed.


This is me. I just had the longer veil in the back, with nothing over my face at all.
I don't really care for the shoulder length. I feel it should be intentionally shorter, like a blusher, or intentionally longer, at least elbow. And I don't really care for the veils that cover the face and need to be moved either. You don't moved them until just before the kiss, right? So the whole ceremony full of heartfelt promises, you're going to be looking through it to make eye contact.
But with the style of your dres it will go!
Quoting CameronsMommy23:
I think shoulder length would be cute. I personally don't like the super short ones. Pick together. ;)
Quoting MixedCooke:Yeah I would just do one of those little ones that just covers to nose level. The dress seems to simple for a long veil that may overpower the dress itself.
You could buy a veil that doesn't go over your face at all and only goes in the back.
