Make your walk down the aisle a total ‘wow’ moment with a veil that suits your bridal style. Picking a veil for your wedding day look is an exciting—but sometimes daunting—task. If you’re wondering how to choose the perfect veil but not sure where to start, look no further! We’ve put together a wedding veil style guide to help you find the perfect one.
Cathedral Veils
A cathedral veil delivers a dramatic statement that’s classic and a touch regal. Lace trim, embellishments, or embroidery can complement the fabric and design of your wedding gown. With yards and yards of fabric extending from the comb, your veil will trail gracefully beyond your dress’s train as you move down the aisle.
Mid-length Veils
An alternative to a cathedral veil is a mid-length veil. Mid-length veils, including elbow-length, fingertip, and walking veils, provide a traditional look but also work with tea-length dresses and alternative bridal styles to add a modern flair. This veil type accentuates your look, while letting the beauty of your dress take center stage.
Birdcage Veils
A birdcage veil covers only part of the face and is attached to either a headband or a comb. This style gives off a vintage vibe that juxtaposes perfectly with modern wedding dresses and jumpsuits. Select a style with tiny pearls or tulle flowers for a classic look that will highlight your face beautifully.
Blusher Veils
If you’re dreaming of a real moment during the ceremony, you’ll want a blusher veil to conceal your face for your entrance and walk down the aisle. Consider pairing this short veil with a longer veil worn down the back.
Wedding Veil Details
Now that you have found the right veil style for your wedding dress, it is time to talk about veil details! Veils come in a range of shades, tiers, and have different embellishment options that can transform your bridal look.
Tiers — Single-tier or multi-tier options allow you to select a level of volume that is right for your look. You can even double up on veils to create a completely custom look.
Colors — Veils come in different colors including white, ivory, champagne, and whisper pink. We recommend trying to matching the color of your gown or going with the closest shade!
Embellishments — Metallic embroidery or statement lace can make your veil go from drab to fab! The trim or beading doesn’t have to match your dress’s details perfectly, but it’s lovely when the complement each other.
