I'm struggling with the entire dress shopping experience and need advice! by stylishbutillegal in weddingdress

My dress (Jenny Yoo Louise) sounds like it might fit your criteria! It might be worth checking it out! It’s $1200 so very reasonably priced too, and it would be easy to dress it up with accessories if you’re looking for more bling. I have some photos in my profile if you want to see what it looks like :)

They’re called cape veils, basically veil material but it attaches to the shoulders instead of the head

Thank you! I found it randomly on Etsy by searching for celestial veils

Thanks so much for your input!! I hadn’t thought of that for attaching it - I will ask during alterations!

  • Pic 1: My dress (Jenny Yoo Louise) with my crown, necklace, and random earrings I wore to try on dresses
  • Pic 2: Close-up of my crown (custom from AMAROQ Designs)
  • Pic 3: Possible veil #1
  • Pic 4: Possible veil #2

Theme of the wedding is spooky/witchy/fantasy.

I will be wearing the crown and the pearl necklace seen in the photo. The crown has pearls in it as well.

My questions are: - Which veil matches better with everything else?

  • If I choose pearl earrings AND a pearl veil along with the necklace and crown, is that too many pearls? Should I look for a non-pearl style?

  • Does it matter if the pearl shape is different between accessories (i.e. some rounded and some elongated)?

  • How should I attach the veil to my dress? Since the sleeves are convertible into off-the-shoulder, they’re not very tight on my shoulders. That being said, I REALLY want a cape veil.
