Juliet cap veil?

Megan, on May 25, 2018 at 8:26 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14

So I'm gushing over some Juliet cap veils I keep seeing online... but I have an a-line/ball gown dress with a crazy train. Has anyone successfully pulled this combo off?

    Can you post a picture of your dress and veil inspirations? That will really help

    I would go for it - I love Juliet cap veils. So classy! Is there a way to try on a few different styles with your dress?

    Yeeesss a fellow juliet cap veil lover!
    I haven't seen many juliet cap veils for sale outside of etsy but you could try to make your own first as a tester to see if you like the two together.

    With Wendy has a great tutorial in her veil video:

    I personally think it would look fine, especially if it's longer than fingertip length.

    I'm not sure. I'm planning on doing my own alterations (there isn't much that needs to be done) and I don't know about taking it to a random shop since I bought it second hand. Not sure what the etiquette is for that.

    I love Juliet cap veils! I didn't end up with one because I chickened out. Also have a lace ballgown. However, looking at your dress I definitely think you can pull it off! I can't put my finger on it but I think your neckline matches the vintage vibe of a Juliet cap veil. I understand your frustration. Every Juliet cap veil shop models them with simpler gowns. But I think it's because they want the focus to be on the juliet cap they're trying to sell. If they were more popular, you'd have more online inspiration pictures of ballgowns and juliet cap veils. I say go for it!

    Yeah, I keep looking everywhere, but all the gowns shown are sheaths. And really simple ones. There are some lace decals on the skirt as well, but most is on the bodice.

    Neato. I’ve never heard of it and just looked up images. So beautiful & feminine! I think it easily works with your dress (the flower pattern on the bodice is also feminine). Do you have pics of ones you like?
