What colour veil?

[stretchmarkqueen]

Hi. I am getting married in Oct and i have bought a dress from bhs. It is a mocha colour and i love it, BUT can i wear an ivory veil with it? Bridesmaids are in ivory. thanks.

Bump?

Would depend on the style of the veil I think.

hmmm, think ivory would be too bright.

Thanks for replying. Just a short one, i don't think you can get any other colour, can you? Apart from white, of course.

i had a golden creamy coloured mid length veil for my wedding, looked v antique.

it also depends on if you are wearing it over your face.

post a pic!

is this how you do it??

its the main picture. I know it's classed as a bridesmaid dress, Do you think it's bride-y enough?

That's lovely! Have you got a link to a veil?

just a normal veil

first time posting links!!

I think it'll be gorgeous.

thanks.

I had that veil for my dress which was also from BHS, though isn't on the website any more. It's a beautiful veil.

Which dress was it??!! I tried all of them on!! The veil is nice then? There wasn't any instore, was worried it may be a bit thin.
thanks for replies.

Lovely dress and I reckon the ivory veil will look lovely with it. I'm getting married in Nov and have a red dress so have avoided a veil because I had no idea what would "go"

Red dress sounds lovely! I have red hair so that would be out for me! I like white/ivory dresses but they wash me out, but i would like a bit of tradition with the veil, have ordered it, so fingers crossed it will go with the dress!

It's this one:

I love that dress!! Did you get married at the Mill Forge in Gretna?

I did! Am now 13 days into married life!

Where are you getting married?

Congratulations!! Wow, hows married life? My friend got married at the Blacksmiths last year, it was gorgeous! We were going to get married at the Mill, but families weren't keen to travel that far, pay for hotel etc... ended up doing here instead. (leicester), . Your pics look lovely, wish we'd stuck to our guns.

You can dye a veil simply by dipping it in a vat of black coffee.

Seriously, it should turn out the right colour. Try on a small scrap of veil fabric.

I have 'aged' lace before by dipping in black tea (for a yellowy/ivory 'old' look). Coffee should give you a light mocha colour.

Married life is fun, but not really any different, just have a different name really!Husband did the whole of the wedding so I only had to get the dress and all my bits. Did you see all the photos?
