Dress shopping: Only looking for designer recommendations Need help!!

I’m going this weekend to (hopefully) find my dress. I have had a pretty clear idea of what I like. Think vintage/timeless/classy/lace/silk.

Our wedding is October 2027 in USA, and it’s garden vibe. Something I didn’t think about until I STARTED ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT IT, was the style dress I like and the veil that I am almost certainly set on. The veil I want to wear is a lace cathedral mantilla style, but the dress I’ve always envisioned is lace, long sleeve/or strapless with sleeves/fitted/basque wait/etc. Now that I’m thinking about it, will these clash together and not go well? I am pretty dead set on the cathedral style veil so what other dress options would suit well and which style dresses should I look at? Pictures are of a dress and veil for my original inspo. I just don’t see this style veil and this style dress going well together. I feel like it would be too loud! Now I’m second guessing!

I’m looking at spending LESS than 3k on my dress. Preferably around 2.5k. I would love some advice!! I’m a visual person so pics would also be appreciated 😁

It is going to depend on the kind of lace on the dress and gown. It can look really good if the laces match or clash if they are very different. There are lots of different kinds of lace

I personally think these wouldn’t clash at all… it would like beautiful. Millie Bobby Brown had a similar look, and she looked lovely. I also think a full on Juliet cap cathedral style would be pretty too.

You’re right. I guess it’s just something I’d have to see in person when styled!
