A bride's wedding veil is her most important bridal accessory and it's important that she picks the most appropriate style. A bride's ideal wedding veil will convey her taste, match her look and make a statement. However, in choosing her veil, every bride will need to consider how her veil works with her wedding gown, her face shape, body shape, hairstyle and wedding location.
As a bride considers which veil is most appropriate and strikes her best, she may also want to consider veil length and tiers as well as other, newer styles. Choosing an appropriate wedding veil can be tricky, but with this guide and some online shopping, you're sure to select the most exquisite finishing touch to your bridal look.
Length
When it comes to wedding veils, there are 3 popular lengths, elbow-length (30 inches long), fingertip-length (36 inches long) and cathedral length (floor length). The elbow-length veil is generally reserved for wedding gowns without a train and often compliments those gowns with a full shirt. The fingertip-length veil is a versatile length choice and its length should reach the fingertips of the bride. Cathedral length veils are most commonly worn during formal weddings. This most dramatic look often extends to the floor at least 6 inches past the train.
One-tiered Versus Two-tiered Veils
One-tiered veils do not generally have a blusher, which is a shoulder-length veil worn over the face. One-tiered veils are simple and elegant, often worn by brides who wish to wear a veil in the back of the head or to accentuate hair that is worn up from the neckline. On the other hand, two-tiered veils do commonly have blushers and are more formal and dramatic.
Elbow-length Veils
Brides looking for a one-tiered, elbow-length veil, go no further. Today's hottest veils in this style have either beaded and scalloped edges, often with a beaded flower motif, pearl and crystal edges or corded edges, sometimes with scattered rhinestones. As for the two-tiered, elbow-length look, there are many styles out there including beaded veils, flower motif adornments, corded edges (often available with colored edges) and the beautiful, classic scattered pearl veil.
Fingertip-length Veils
One of the most gorgeous fingertip-length veils out there is adorned with pearl embellishments in the Alencon lace style, which retails for about $200. If you're looking for something more inexpensive, the best deals on the hottest styles include the fingertip-length veil with metallic pencil edge and lace embroidery or the scalloped edge veil with crystal vine style. For two-tiered veils, any bride will love the embroidered edge style or the dangling crystals style.
Cathedral-length Veils
The cathedral-length veil carries a look of tradition and romance. The embellished cathedral veil style is a classic choice for any bride. Equally as stunning are the cathedral-length veils with beaded metallic edges and the scattered pearls and pencil edge style, which, with some savvy online searching, can be found between the $100-150 price range.
Blushers
For someone who truly wishes to embody a blushing bride, perhaps the bridal blusher is an appropriate style. While not necessary or required, the blusher is a simple veil used to cover the face before the ceremony, then removed or flipped back before the big kiss. There are plenty of new blushers available, especially online. For instance, a top seller is the black Russian tulle blusher, as well as the flower comb with detachable facial blusher. Like the black Russian tulle blusher, the father fascinator style and the Russian tulle blusher with scattered crystals both display intricate netting.
More Tips & Trends
Shorter or mid-length veils are an ideal choice for showing off your back or the back of your wedding gown. For a more glamorous, dramatic look, the longer veil has become very popular at outdoor weddings, where it can flow and ribbon in the air. Of course, any bride can remove the longer veil at the reception and swap it for a shorter or mid-length veil. For a trendier look, sheer blushers are all the rage at the moment, as well as hair flowers that can also be worn be the wedding party.
Veil detailing has allowed many brides to detail the look to their specific tastes. For example, many brides choose to adorn their veils with crystals, pearls, lace and gorgeous beading. While some brides may choose a classic white veil, there are also veils available in colors such as ivory. In addition, brides can choose a veil with colored edging or colored beading detail.
Shopping online is simply the best way for a bride to find that special, perfect veil to wow her wedding guests on the most special of days. A perfect wedding day makes for perfect memories for you and your new husband to build a life upon.
