    Talking Turquoise Costume: What color veil do YOU choose?

    Let me start off by apologizing for posting another Costume+veil=color match question but I'm curious and once again having trouble deciding. So for a Turqouise costume, what color veil would you think works best with the coloring. This is the costume I'm getting by the way from Bella. But it turquoise most likely since I believe I'm too white for a white costume. I think I'd blend in with it :) hahaha
    White and Crystal Bella
    I'm open to any color suggestions for the costume as well. I'm really white, brown eyes, light brown hair :)
    Feel free to also hive your color by color veil pick for different colored costumes :) thanks in advance!

    Wow what a beautiful costume. i realize that without the costume in your possession it is hard to decide (with bella you never know what surprises you may get as a small addition to your costume... maybe gold, silver accents, etc). But I'm gonna toss out some contrasting colors for solid color veils (assume you will pick whatever goes with your music): My first choice was a beautiful bright yellow or fuschia. But you could opt for a soft peach or bright orange or maybe even a eggplant (saw a friend dance recently wearing an eggplant cossie w/ a turquoise and eggplant veil. quite stunning). Or a surprise gradient involving turquoise, which gets tricky in matching the shade of turquoise.

    It's going to be my first Bella costume, I've heard she tends to change peoples orders hehe but from what I've heard, she is always right with what she picks. Her costumes are simply gorgeous! I think I'll wait til after I get the costume to get the veil, since I don't know exactly what the costume will look like hahaha! I'm assuming you order from Bella, does she ask for a picture of you before she makes the changes to color and style? How does that work? And thank you by the way :)

    Turquoise, purple, teal, bronze. either singularly or in combo. lime green can work as well.

    Beautiful costume. Turquoise goes so well with so many colors. I like it with lime green or red.

    Re: Turquoise Costume: What color veil do YOU choose?

    I like tangerine, hot pink, yellow, lime green with bright turquoise
    Recently I have seen some yummy dark turquoise costumes paired with shades like olive green & eggplant...Unexpected yet it works, especially if the costume has gold accents.
    With silver accents, you could try pastels like rose pink, lavender, peach...
    Hmm...what doesn't go with turquoise really?

    I think just about anything can go with turquoise....it's a very flexible color, here's some pics of me in turquoise with two different veils....oh and btw, that Bella looks FANTASTIC, can't wait to see pics of it in turquoise! :-)

    I believe Akai has a white/blue veil that could have some potential with you costume.

    Its an absolutly beautiful costume! I think with it being white you could almost pick any colour! Granted I don't usually use veils in any of my performances so I could be way off!

    For reference, I saw Bozenka perform this live and really loved her peach/pink veil with the turquoise costume:



    Although, she could be wearing a paper bag bedlah and dance with a bedsheet veil and I'd be like "where can I get one!?" haha

    I think turquoise is "neutral" enough that it goes with almost anything! I love my A'Kai La Sirena with my turquoise Bella, but my absolute favorite color combination is turquoise and purple.
