I don't think a regular veil looks good on me. I look like I've just wrestled with a giant tulle monster, and lost. A bit reminisant of walking out of the bathroom with something stuck to your shoe... or rather my head. It's like those cardboard graduation caps... they never looked good on me either. That's why I really searched for something different. However, on so many other people the veil looks great. I think it might be head and hair shape that effects how it looks. My head is big, so veils look more like mosquito netting than anything else.
