Articles - The Bridal Veil

Tips for wearing a Veil

· Keep diamantes and other fine details on your veil to a minimum. They may show up in your photos like black dots

· Complement a heavily beaded gown with a plan sheer tulle veil

· Don’t go for heavy detail in your dress and veil

· Don’t wear a long and multi-layered veil if you’re petite. The veil will overpower you and your gown. Try to keep it in proportion.

· Your veil doesn’t have to be exactly the same colour as your dress, just don’t mix start white with ivory colours

Types of Veils

Blusher
The short part of the veil that is pulled down over the face until it is lifted back over the head during the ceremony.

Ballet
A veil length that’s falls somewhere around your ankles

Chapel
A formal veil that extends on the floor. Complements a formal style gown with a train

Cathedral
The cathedral train is the most formal veil style. May have multiple layers. Most appropriately worn with a cathedral train in a very formal setting

Elbow
The elbow length veil is most appropriate for an informal setting. It finishes at or near the elbow

Fingertip
A long veil that reaches the fingertips. Single or double layered

Flyaway
A multi-layered veil that just brushes the shoulders. Appropriate for an anakle length gown. Suits more informal styles.
 

 

 



True love does not come by finding the
perfect person, but by learning
to see an imperfect
person
perfectly.
