Wedding Veil Guide
Wedding veils are a timeless accessory that can beautifully complement any bridal look. Understanding the different lengths and styles is essential for making the perfect choice for your big day. This guide will help you navigate through the veil lengths and styles, ensuring you find the ideal match for your wedding gown and personal style.
Types of Veils
Blusher
Blusher veils are a beautiful and traditional choice for brides, elegantly fastening to the crown of the head and gracefully covering the face. Available in various lengths, including chin, shoulder, waist, or hip, these sheer veils add a touch of romance and sophistication to any bridal look. Perfect for those seeking a classic aesthetic, blusher veils enhance the overall bridal ensemble while creating a sense of mystery and allure. Embrace this timeless accessory to make your special day even more memorable.
Single Tier
A single tier veil is a classic choice that gracefully flows from attachment point, typically a comb, down the back. Unlike veils with a blusher, this style does not feature a section that covers the face. Single tier veils can be designed with a full gather for a more voluminous look or with a minimalist approach for a subtle elegance. Whether you prefer a dramatic or understated style, a single tier veil adds a timeless touch to any bridal ensemble.
Two Tier
Two-tier wedding veils are a beautiful choice for brides looking to add a touch of elegance to their special day. Featuring a 'blusher' that can be gracefully pulled over the face, this veil creates a stunning moment during the ceremony. As you share your first kiss or exchange vows, the blusher can be lifted, revealing your radiant smile. After the ceremony, it can be swept back to form a lovely second layer, enhancing the overall look of your bridal ensemble.
Mantilla Veil
The mantilla veil is a stunning accessory that beautifully frames the face with intricate lace. Typically worn two inches from the hairline, it adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any look. Available in various widths and lengths, these veils are true statement pieces that exude a sensual charm. For the best results, consider matching the lace of your veil with your outfit.
Veil Styles by Length
Shoulder Length (20 Inches)
The shoulder-length wedding veil beautifully frames your face while letting your gown shine. This classic design is perfect for brides seeking a traditional look that complements, rather than competes with, their details. Embrace this style for a memorable bridal appearance.
Elbow Length (30 Inches)
Elbow length veils are a fantastic choice for brides seeking a short veil that offers a bit more flow than the traditional shoulder length options. This elegant length beautifully complements vintage bridal styles, adding a touch of nostalgia and charm to your wedding look. Whether you're going for a classic or retro vibe, an elbow length veil can enhance your ensemble perfectly.
Fingertip Length (40 Inches)
A fingertip veil extends beyond the bride's hips, showcasing the gown's back design through its delicate fabric. Ideal for mermaid or fishtail styles, it ends at fingertip level, creating a stunning and harmonious bridal look.
Veil Styles by Length Continued
Waltz length (60 Inches)
Waltz length often referred to as 'ballet' length, typically measures around 5 feet. For most individuals, this length will fall at ankle or calf level, depending on height, without touching the floor. This makes it an ideal choice for dancing, allowing for graceful movement while still providing the elegant appearance of a long, flowing veil. Perfect for those who want to combine style functionality!
Chapel Length (90 Inches)
A chapel-length veil offers a stunning way to enhance your bridal look, creating the illusion of a train without the hassle of bustling. This elegant veil gracefully sweeps across the floor, extending just beyond the bride's gown, adding a touch of sophistication and romance to your special day. It's the perfect choice for brides who want to achieve dramatic effect with ease
Cathedral Length (120 Inches)
A cathedral-length veil is the ultimate choice for a truly regal entrance. This stunning veil extends beyond the train of the bride's gown, creating a dramatic effect as you walk down the aisle. It's the perfect accessory to elevate your bridal look and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Embrace the elegance and grandeur that a cathedral-length veil brings to your special day.
