Veil- how to choose which style

I know there have been several veil posts, but I really am unsure how to pick a veil that matches my dress. Any suggestions would be very helpful.. TIA!

is there a specific "look" you're going for??

how ornate is your dress??

i found mine by just going back to the salon and trying on every veil they had along with my dress (ok not literally every veil) but i knew i wanted a mantilla veil, so i tried on different mantillas with different lace edges, etc...

if your dress is ornate and lots of beading, i would go with a veil that doesnt "cut you off" meaning one that doesnt hit your waist or distract from the beading on your dress...

I'd lke some feedback on this as well. Initially I was set on a mantilla style veil (with lace trim) but I don't feel that will work with my gown.

I have some confusion more about the SHAPE of veils (oval, circular, etc...) than anything. The length is fairly self explanatory, but do different shapes "fall" differently? More specifically, what's going to just lay nicely without having too much volume?

I was confused about veil style too. But here are the things that helped me decide:
1) my face is a bit round, plus I'm doing an updo. This means my veil needed to be more "flat" around me when it falls from my hair so I don't look too fat.
2) My dress had tons of decorations in the back, so I didn't want a veil with too much lace/gems/pearls to cover that up.
3) The dress is ivory with beads, so I went with a pearled edge, ivory colored veil
4) My dress has a long train, so I didn't wanna drag a cathedral veil around along with my train
5) I'm 5'8", so I definitely didn't want a short veil. I went for something that falls a bit below my waist.

So the veil I got was simple, 2-tiered, ivory with a small pearly edge. I didn't need it to be a designer veil, so I ended up buying it at Downtown LA for like $25... It really compliments my dress well.
