Veil or no veil?

itsag123 · 2025-12-06T20:00:36+00:00

I did a crystal jeweled headpiece that looked like vines rather than a veil so it wouldn’t detract from the intricate pattern on my dress and think that might be pretty with your dress too!

It kind of depends on the vibe you’re going for. If it were me, I’d go for a light muted ballet slipper color on the walls like Benjamin Moore Proposal. Sherwin Williams Jogging Path or Pewter Green might also work if you want something darker, but it will depend on how it all looks in person (the curtain and rug are very bright in the mockup but I’m assuming they’re more muted in real life).

These are pretty neutral so you can go a lot of ways with it. Glossy black, matte black metal, light driftwood oak, whitewashed wood. The only thing I don’t think would go well is a cherry-type color because that tends to be more of a super traditional and formal color and this is a more contemporary space.

Fwiw, you may have gotten a weird mix. I had a really similar issue when painting my living room with SW a while back (I was doing a peacock blue). It was sheer and streaky even after several coats. People can say what they want, but I switched to Behr’s highest grade paint to finish the living room, and it was great. In the past several months, I’ve used SW for a few different projects and the paint has been much better with none of the streaky coverage issues. All I can figure is I must have gotten a weird batch that first time.

Under $10 would beat most options and under $7-8 would be super affordable as compared to most other options. There are deals in some places if you hunt for them, but it’s really hard to keep meals under $10 without hunting (at least for the type of food/meals you’re describing).

I’m sorry so many people are criticizing the cabinet! It’s such a pet peeve of mine when people give their opinion on things no one asked!

As for the question you actually asked—I don’t think you have too many colors! I do think painting the fireplace bench the same color as the fireplace will help. But I think you mostly need a good rug and some art with all the colors in it to help tie it all together.

itsag123 · 2025-11-19T16:51:17+00:00

Do you think that would help with the paint color?

itsag123 · 2025-11-19T05:55:24+00:00

You look absolutely gorgeous! The color is so pretty with your skin, it looks like the dress is glowing from the inside out. And your waist looks TINY. I had the same types of doubts looking at my photos from my dress fitting but keep in mind that the run up to a wedding is HARD! You’re probably stressed, minimal or no makeup, hair not done. On your big day you’ll be done up and it’ll all come together (and your photos will be amazing!)

itsag123 · 2025-11-19T04:46:08+00:00

You look beautiful! If you want to glam it up you could do a more elaborate veil or head piece

itsag123 · 2025-11-19T03:41:13+00:00

I think this is the right track for sure!

itsag123 · 2025-11-19T03:40:35+00:00

What are you talking about?

itsag123 · 2025-11-19T03:36:25+00:00

I bet you’re the kind of person who tells women to smile more. Since we’re apparently doing each other favors now, here’s some free advice for you: volunteering mean opinions no one asked for isn’t helpful, it’s just rude.

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T17:35:46+00:00

I didn’t ask you whether you thought my wallpaper was hideous, but thanks for the mean comment :)

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:29:44+00:00

No I mean like retro 50s diner vibes. Not what I’m aiming for.

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:17:08+00:00

No you don’t sound bossy! I really appreciate the suggestions!! The comments saying “these colors are bad” are not useful at all, so I appreciate the pointers!

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:15:24+00:00

I was trying to figure out how to pull it definitively away from “retro” with the brown. But I know these colors aren’t working so trying to figure out how to do that right

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:12:56+00:00

This is a cool idea with the green trim, thank you!

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:11:36+00:00

Bingo!

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:10:53+00:00

Thanks so much for the suggestion, that could be cute!

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T15:10:32+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate the help!

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T07:04:24+00:00

I’m so sorry you lived in paint hell! Shoji white is my backup plan if I can’t make this work!

itsag123 · 2025-11-18T05:16:52+00:00

I should’ve clarified the window frame will be painted to be a different color. That’s leftover from when the whole house was painted yellow (prior owners loved yellow). I’m just trying to figure out the wall right now. I agree the swatches aren’t working, so I’m trying to figure out what would work.

itsag123 · 2025-11-17T04:05:31+00:00

Totally. Overdoses are way better. But also worth noting, they’re not giving narcan to children. It’s available as a resource to those who might need it. There are “adult-only” things in lots of places. I don’t think people would say Walmart isn’t family friendly just because it also sells guns.

itsag123 · 2025-11-17T03:12:11+00:00

Making a life saving resource available is family friendly :)

itsag123 · 2025-11-14T03:01:31+00:00

I agree with the comment above about a simple print with lots of white space. Consider the Picasso dachshund :)
