Bridal Veils:
A wedding tradition dating back to ancient Greece, today the veil is a fashion statement that adds a sheer touch of mystery and elegance.

Ballet: falls to the ankles
Blusher: short, single veil worn shoulder length or short and forward to cover the bride's face as she enters the ceremony and worn pushed back afterward attached to a longer veil.
Cascade: several layers of veiling of varying lengths to give a waterfall affect.
Cathedral Length: falls 3 1/2 yards from the headpiece, usually worn with a cathedral train so it will fall several feet behind you - like a wedding gown train.
Chapel Length: Falls 2 1/2 yards from the headpiece to or near the floor.
Shorter version of Cathedral veil.
Elbow Length: considered less formal style; ideal for a wedding gown without a train
Fingertip Length: touches the fingertips when the arms are held straight at the sides
Fly-Away: Several layers of fabric brush the shoulders; favorite for informal dress.
Mantilla: Lace-trimmed veil frames the face; typically fastened with a comb or hair pins
Pouf: Short veil gathers and attachs to a headpiece; favorite for informal wedding dress.
