Your bridal veil is the perfect compliment to your wedding gown. History of the veil goes back to the Crusades in Europe when brides made them as a symbol of virginity and purity when presented to their mates. In modern times, they are a perfect decoration headpiece and are worn in a variety of styles.

Veils come in single, two and sometimes three tiers (layers). The top tier of multiple tier veils can be worn as a blusher or covering over the face until the end of the ceremony. Veils usually come attached to metal or plastic combs that can easily be placed in the hair in desired area. If you are wearing a tiara, you may want to wear the veil a little lower on the back of the head. Lengths of veils vary from shoulder length, waist length, fingertip and knee length. More dramatic lengths include floor, chapel and cathedral lengths up to 120 inches long. Usually more formal gowns look better with a longer veil, but this is not necessarily the rule of thumb.

Veil edgings are another thing you may have the option of if you can create your own veil. Some veil edgings include cut edge (or plain edge), pencil, rattail, filament, various satin ribbon widths, rhinestones, lace and pearls. Scattered accents through the veil may be another thing to add for that extra touch. These would include scattered rhinestones, pearls or sequins.

Custom made veils are veils that require extra handling or design and some can be expensive depending on the materials used and time involved in making the veil.
