To Veil or Not to Veil?

Hi, everyone!

Curious to know if there are any brides on here who had or have a backless wedding dress and chose to wear a veil?
I haven’t been able to find many photos to compare it to - maybe I’m just wording it wrong?
Either way, would love to know your opinions! Would you wear a veil with a backless?
If yes, what length? Design or plain?
If no, why not?
Thanks!!

Late to comment. I have a backless dress and have a custome made cathedral veil. My hair will be in a low bun. I just like the look for ceremony and some photos with veils are just to die for. Wont be wearing it to the reception

I have very low back dress but its my second wedding and didn't want to bother with a veil which I would take out after ceremony and pics.

Cathedral veil hands down! It is so timeless and completes the entire bride feel.

My dress wasn't backless - but it was an illusion back dress? I wore a cathedral length veil!
Personally I think that the veil has more to do with the length and style of the dress rather than what the back is so I would go based off of that. Either way though, I'm always team veil, you just need to find one that suits the dress you have

I have a very low back wedding dress and choose a cathedral veil, knew from the beginning the veil I wanted..BEST DECISION EVER. Not sure if you will have your ceremony in a church, but it perfect for the church ! It also depends on the fabric you choose because you can definitely see the detail of your wedding dress still if you opt out for a different material. Both cathedral, chapel and floor are beautiful lengths but it also depends on the type of wedding dress you have.

My dress is backless and I am wearing a long plain cathedral type veil (no piece covering my face though) it doesn’t take away from the details of the dress because it’s plain and you can see through it

Mine is not lowcut. I’m team veil- I’m also doing a cathedral veil. Whichever you choose is your choice keep in mind the veil is usually only for the pics/ ceremony portion. I’m taking mine off for reception

I have a pretty low cut back on my gown and I went with a cathedral length veil. It was one of the things I knew I wanted. It is ivory with lace appliques on the bottom that go Perfect with my dress. I have a lot of fine detailing on my dress that you see through it no problem and I don't think it takes away from the back.
