What kind of VEIL/MANTILLA would look good with my gown?

It has a lot of lace and beading, so I don't want to overdo it with my veil. I really like the look of mantillas though, especially the ones with lace around the edge. I like the old-fashioned, romantic look of them. Would that be too much lace, though? If not, does anyone know where I could find a matilla with lace that would match the lace on my dress?


Oops! the pics of my dress were too large to attach to the message! They're in my album if you want to take a peek! Thanks!

I think it would look great. Just get one with a thinner lace edge, so it doesn't compete too much with the dress....

who made your dress? Do they also make veils?

I bought a san patrick gown, and also got my mantilla from them.... a perfect color / style match!

try bloomingveils.com

I ordered my veil custom through them. Mine is cathedral length with alencon lace edging all the way around but gathered to a comb instead of mantilla. I thought the price was pretty reasonable, it cost a little over $200. FM me if you want & I'll give you a TON of websites with lace veils

I agree with portjeffbride. A thinner lace edge will look gorgeous with your dress.

Thanks for your ideas ladies! Casablanca makes my dress. I will try to contact them to find out if they can make a mantilla with matching lace.

I had my mantilla custome made a Barrons in Tri-County. I brought pictures of my dress (including close up of the lace) and viewed almost every lace sample she had before picking one.

This was what I chose:
