I know I want a drop veil for sure. I’m not so sure about the length or edging I want yet, but no lace, crystals, pearls, or sequins for me. I’m thinking maybe fingertip length for the back tier and elbow length for the blusher. I like sheerness and lack of fluffiness in veils, of course. Ever the minimalist.
I’m not willing to shell out for tulle, but I’m also not crafty at all when it comes to the sewing department. I’ll probably check out the fashion district downtown, then veilshop.com and occanseydesigns.com. My coworker didn’t have any luck finding drop veils downtown though, and I already have my free swatches from Veilshop waiting to meet my dress. The mannequins on that site scare me :(. Occansey can even affix a clear comb to your drop veil to make it more secure.

from unkown sources:
I’ve only seen cut edge for drop veils so far…
Cut Edge - Minimal and undistracting, but a bit unfinished-looking.
Fine-Embroidered or Pencil Edge - Basic, but gives some definition to the edge of the veil.
Minimal (1/8″-ish) Satin Edge - The most definition.
What edge condition do you think would look best with my dress?
pencil edge!
Miss Lime, a while back I found a pic of a knottie bride who wore the same or similar style dress with a drop veil. I’ll email it to you.
Veil question: is it weird if I don’t wear one? I kind of want to go veil-less, but I don’t know if that would look strange.
The very thin pencil edge will look best with your dress I think, because it looks to be very detailed, and you don’t want your veil to compete with your dress.
I wish I had seen circle veils before I made mine

I think the pencil edge would look best with your dress. =)
Thanks for the input, everyone! And for the sources & other photos.
Aliya, it’s your wedding, it’s up to you. Depending on your dress, you probably don’t need one. A tiara or other things in your hair could easily take the place of a veil and look nice. I am doing the veil partially to make my mom happy (she’s asked very little in the process so far), as she wants me to keep certain traditions.
cut or pencil. - your dress is beautiful. 
I would actually go for a thick (maybe 2 inch) band of lace, almost like a mantilla.
Lovely dress!
i want what you want too! i haven’t researched veils yet, but thanks for letting me know what it’s called..=)
i really think you should go with the minimal look of the cut edge veil. let the dress stand out! for the most part, i think adorned veils are kinda old school/dated and tacky. *shiver*
but that’s just me.
Beautiful! I love the simplicity of it… it will look gorgeous with your dress! I’d go for pencil, just to keep it from being too fluffy. It adds a nice finished look, too.
I got my veil (light ivory with pencil edge) from veilshop.com and they were great!
I absolutely am in love with this dress. It’s beautiful! And congrats on getting a deal on it.
I think a cut edge would look sleek and lovely with your gorgeous gown!!
Thanks so much for this post! I want that type of veil too but never knew what it was called. I always referred to it as “the flat ungathered kind that sits on your head”.
Do you know if it has a comb attached, and if so, where? Especially if there is no blusher?
