The bride’s grand entrance, the look in the groom’s face as the bride approaches, the wedding vows, the bride and groom’s first kiss, I could just go on and on and on about these moments that make a wedding romantic and magical at the same time. But one particular moment that can make the bride and her father choke and take a deep breath is when the father lifts the veil of his daughter and presents her to the groom. I mean, if you were in their shoes, it might just gift you the butterflies.

Ahhhh, the VEIL.

There are a lot of things that goes into your mind when you think about this single piece of clothing. What color should it be? How long should I have it? Is it going to be heavy? I don’t want it to flatten my hair.

Here are some key features you may want to consider when choosing your wedding veil.

Color

You can go with a color that has the same shade as your dress or a shade lighter. So better bring a sample fabric when looking for your veil.

Length

You may want to think about the length that complements the design of your dress, and then you can also think about how many tiers you want your veil to have.

Birdcage or Blusher

Flyaway – about 14″

Shoulder – about 19″ to 20″

Waist/Elbow – about 24″ to 30″

Finger tips – about 38″ to 42″

Knee – about 50″

Semi Waltz – about 61″

Waltz – 75″

Chapel – about 80″ to 85″

Church – about 95″ to 100″

Cathedral – about 100″ to 105″

Royal – about 120″

Next is the Fabric.

Here are some of the most commonly used fabric types for wedding veils.

Bridal Illusion – soft tulle made of 100% nylon, most common and standard, photographs well and suitable for a blusher layer veil.

Silk Tulle – made of 100% silk, drapes elegantly, most expensive.

English Net – made of polyester, has very soft texture and drapes similarly to chiffon.

Point D’ Esprit – features crisscross dotted patterns.

Swiss Dot – translucent and can be made in all length and tiers.

Chiffon – fluid and soft flowing, non-translucent.

Organza – semi translucent, stiff, synthetic polyester, nylon, silk fabric.

Accessories – Tiaras, hair clips and pins, headband. You may want to think about what your hairstyle would be, before picking these up.

Now that you have this one down, you’ll know that the moment when your dad gives you away will be extra special.
