Bridal Veil Tips

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

Brides wear:

• Blusher veils at informal or formal weddings
• Fingertip length veils at formal and semi-formal weddings
• Chapel or Cathedral veils at formal weddings with a dress with a train
• Shorter veils to show off more detail on the back of your wedding dress
• Try your veil on with the hair style you’ll wear at the wedding
• Dress up a simple gown with a more ornate veil
• Dress down an ornate gown with a simple veil

Types of Bridal Veils

• 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.
• Waltz Length: see Ballet
