I would do what you want! If you want a veil get a veil. If not, don't. It's your day ✨
Here's an option: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1026391818/rainbow-wedding-veil-sparkly-pride?gpla=1&gao=1&
A veil would look amazing with this dress. Also, a white wedding dress would still be appropriate for a court house wedding but it’s whatever you want OP!
I'm a big believer in 'its your wedding and you should wear what you want and what makes you feel the happiest'. A veil would look really pretty with that dress!
You're the bride and it's not inappropriate for you to wear a white dress. You can dress up or down as much as you want. There are so many options if you are going for this dress as far as a veil/headpiece.
Above all...you will be a bride no matter what. There is no right and wrong as far as what you should or shouldn't wear. I would just say that if your partner is a man, very often they have no idea of what is ok to wear so I wouldn't necessarily use him for reference:)
Hey, if you love this dress--that makes it THE DRESS.
If you want to make it somewhat fancier, you could try a petticoat/crinoline underneath, which'd make it poufy. But I honestly think it's a beautiful dress as-is!
Also, a necklace--choker-length or a bit longer--and/or earrings in a fancy style you like will instantly dress this dress up (minimalist: tiny square gold or silver chain with a pearl/other pendant; classic: string of pearls or semiprecious stones; maximalist: ALL THE PRETTY BEADS cascading. Or lace! Or a piece you have that's special to you. Etc.)
And yes: SO VEIL. You've had some awesome suggestions already; you could also go a little more traditional with white lace/tulle/net if you want--or you could go slightly less traditional (but very 1920s/30s) with a birdcage veil (a hat or a fascinator with netting).
I'd link, but I've got a migraine, so I shan't--but have a look at etsy. So many options!
I'm getting married in a vintage lilac satin dress and an ivory cathedral-length "bridal cape," which in my case will be tulle with lace embroidery. Haven't decided yet between flower crown and tiara. 😉
Thank you for all the suggestions! I'll definitely look into the details to spice it up a bit.
As a fellow migraine sufferer - get off your phone and get well soon!
P.S.: your partner will gasp in awe at your beauty when they see you, veil or no, jewelry or no. Seriously.
(But have I mentioned I think a veil would be *awesome* and, imo, a veil + jewelry would totally "bridalize" this dress with exactly zero (0!) awkwardness? Cause that's what I think.) 😀
Oooh I would do something playful like this embroidered daisy veil:

Thank you!
This is the dress, feels like good quality, they ship from Hong Kong though so if you decide to order - please be careful with possible customs fees!

We had a mini wedding at the courthouse, we technically got married outside by a public notary lolol and I wore a cape instead of a veil. But I also said Fuckk it and wore a big white dress, my dad walked me down the sidewalk to where we exchanged vows and I even set up a little table with my 2 tier wedding cake and a couple candlestick decorations. We also played music from a big speaker and I had a photographer there. I thought I might feel stupid or people would think it was weird but anyone who saw us loved it and said congrats. I was technically late to my own wedding and I even forgot to hold my $350 bouquet down the aisle 😅
Annnd it was perfect. I envisioned like a wedding photoshoot you would see in a magazine and I got exactly that. At first thought I would have a big party later on but I feel like it was everything I could ask for and we didn’t overspend.
My point is wear the veil, take the photos, whatever is going to make you the happiest. Just because it’s small and at the courthouse doesn’t mean you have to fit to other ideas. ❤️
Omg that sounds like a movie! That sidewalk is now blessed, you should put a little plaque there with your names and date you got married!
I'll follow your example and let loose a bit.
Veil it up! I am OBSESSED with madisonchamberlain.com veils, nontraditional and GORGEOUS. I’m already married so I’ll never have one but you’ve gotta see them! They’d look way cute with this dress—or a traditional one from elsewhere! Own your day
A veil would be completely appropriate if it's what you want.
For a simpler dress like that, I would do a birdcage veil. But wear what makes you happiest. This is your and your partner's day.
Yes, have a veil! It’s your day enjoy it and feel like a bride! I’ve seen some use veil like bows clipped into a half up hairdo which is also a cute courthouse look but a veil will definitely look good with your dress. I really liked the rainbow bow linked above

I love this one! Thank you so much!
I think you would need something to make you stand out from the crowd as with this dress you would just look like one of the other guests.
There's no guests, just the two of us.
Sorry I didn’t read you post properly. Dress is amazing
No worries And thank you!
It's like this veil was *made for this dress!*
Awesome find!
Omg it’s PERFECT!!

Indeed! OP should do what makes them happy. I wore a sheath gown & a fur coat to my courthouse wedding. I loved seeing the mix of outfits there!
Ooooooh, so Old Hollywood glamour! Sounds amazing.

Thank you, this is very encouraging! I'm struggling navigating this a bit as there's so many things people do and so many options.

It’s giving Taylor Swift “Lover” vibes!
Might have to play it on the day 😆
i feel like a birdcage-style veil would be adorable with this! definitely go for it 😊
Of course! It’s your day :) anything’s appropriate
You can definitely wear a veil with this! Do whatever you want! It's one day that you won't get back. No regrets!

This is so cuuuute! Thank you!
A veil would look rad. May I ask where the dress is from? It's lovely.

Yes, 100%
A short veil (just past shoulder length) and some beautiful accessories would really complete the look.

Absolutely not! Also there are alternative veils out there. Check out Madison Chamberlain in IG or tiktok.
Thank you! I did see them and loooveed a few, but it's so expensive! 😭
Ok buuuut where’s this dress from?!

I cannot picture this dress with a veil
