Wedding dress veils are back in fashion! With vintage bridal wear making a big impact in the wedding fashion world, veils are becoming a must-have accessory once more. There are many different varieties and length of wedding veil, and each one is designed to suit a different style of wedding gown. Here's a quick guide to wedding veils and how to wear them, to help you choose the right look for your big day.
Birdcage – This is a short vein ending at the chin area. A chic vintage look, this type of veil is often paired with a pillbox hat and may be made from delicate lace or netting. For a modern twist, why not wear it swept across your eyes or forehead?
Shoulder Length – Perfect for wedding dresses that have elaborately detailed bodices, as this veil just brushes the shoulders. A good contemporary choice for a wedding that is not overly traditional.
Elbow Length – Elbow length veils look great with traditional wedding dresses in ball gown styles or those with full skirts. Weaving a veil this length with this type of dress helps to balance out your silhouette and looks very elegant.
Fingertip Length – This is the most popular length of veil as it suits a wide range of wedding gowns, body shapes and sizes! A lovely choice for both traditional and modern gowns, fingertip length veils come in lots of styles, with beading, lace, embroidery and special edging to make them look extra special.
Ballet Length or Waltz – A slightly longer veil that works wonderfully with fitted or sheath wedding dresses. If you have a gown with a full skirt, it's better to stick to a shorter veil, but a waltz veil will not detract from figure-hugging dresses, despite falling below the knee. This veil works well with a train, too, for a real showstoping look!
Chapel Length – This traditional, long veil skims the floor, or falls on top of a train for a truly classic brid look. Suitable for a big, traditional church (or chapel!) Wedding, this veil works well with a simple cut of wedding gown. A good rule of thumb is to limit ornate detailing to either the veil or the dress, as having both heavily detailed can look busy and over complicated.
Cathedral Length – One for the dramatic, or to suit a large, ornate venue! This veil will trail behind you as you walk down the aisle, almost like a train in itself. You will need your bridesmaids to help you manoeuvre with a veil as long as this, and may want to remove it after the ceremony.
Whichever type of wedding veil you choose, match it carefully to your style and design of wedding dress. Use the experience and opinions of your bridalwear store staff, who will know exactly which style suits your gown best.
