The wedding veil has a long history as an integral part of the marriage ceremony of many cultures. When most brides think of veils and the options open to them, the first factor that comes to mind is length. Veils are available in a wide range of lengths, from short blusher veils like the Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil that may extend no farther than the chin or shoulder, to full-length cathedral style veils, complete with trailing trains. While shorter styles can be used for most gown types, longer veils are usually reserved for full-length gowns, which are not overwhelmed by the flowing lines of a longer style. But choosing a veil is about more than veil length. Depending upon the type of wedding you are planning, and the type of gown you are wearing, you can choose whether you veil is simple or highly embellished, what type of edging detail it has, and even what color it is. Choice of a headpiece is also important, and can literally add a crowning touch to your ensemble.

Embellishment

Depending upon the type of mood you hope to create as a bride, your veil may be simple and unadorned or deeply embroidered and embellished with lace or beadwork. Although some veils offer embellishment designed to coordinate with a specific gown, they can be combined with any gown to create a look that is uniquely yours. Look for embellishments such as a lace floral appliqué that encircles the mid-portion of the veil, creating a look that is ideal for garden weddings or springtime venues. You may find embellishments as a vertical accent, offering the illusion of tiny petals raining softly down.

Profile Veils can be offered in a slim profile involving a single tier, or in more dramatic styles that include two or more tiers of cascading fabric. Both single-tier and multi-tier veils can be either long or short, and both lend themselves to full-skirted and slim-style gowns. Brides planning a princess-style wedding, as well as those planning a traditional affair might prefer the profile offered by the three-tiered cathedral veil. This veil is the one most often depicted in artists’ renditions of the traditional bride. For an even fuller look, choose a multi-tier short style, offering two tiers that offer an extra measure of fullness. You may also find a full-length one-tier veil, ideal for both traditional and contemporary gowns. Single-tiered veils are also usually the best choice for wearing tucked under an updo.

Edging

Many fingertip veils offer great examples of full lace edging. Fingertip veils can also employ pearl accents, which create a look that can be traditional or Victorian, and can also be well suited to more contemporary looks. The mantilla style offers similar edge details, featuring lace appliqué and pearl embellishments that are an ideal complement to both ornate, princess-style gowns and more simplistic contemporary styles. Other, bolder styles may even use edging detail to add a slim swath of color or a sparkling finish to the veil. Some elbow length veils use a unique crystal edge, ideal for reflecting both candle and natural light as you walk down the aisle. This style is also a good choice for winter weddings.

Color

Most veils are offered in a choice of either pure white or soft ivory. Which color you choose depends on the color and style of your gown. Many brides planning Victorian or otherwise antique-themed weddings prefer the look of an Ivory veil, which can evoke the appearance of antique lace. If Victorian is the style you are looking for, consider an elbow-length veil with beaded vine detail and a simple pencil edge. Wrought in ivory, the look is pure Victorian elegance.

Brides planning a contemporary or metro-style wedding may prefer a more streamlined profile in white. This veil also offers a slim ribbon edge detail that enhances the modern look. Some veils go a step farther than white and ivory, adding colorful embellishments that often coordinate with bridesmaids’ attire. The Apple Lace Veil With Apple Ribbon Edge combines the time-honored white wedding veil with an eye-catching deep red trim that adds a unique dimension to an otherwise traditional treatment.

Headpieces: To wear or not to wear?

The type of veil you choose can also be influenced by your headpiece. For brides who opt to tuck their veils into the underside of an updo, single-tier veils are usually the best option. These veils usually are held in place securely with combs, and can be easily removed before the reception. Brides choosing a headpiece should try the veil with the headpiece, to ensure the two pieces coordinate and that the headpiece will complement and not overpower the veil.

Your veil is an important part of your wedding ensemble. With so many options to choose from, your veil can help you create a look that is as unique and special as your wedding day.
