Bridal Veil Styles You’ll Adore & Tips for Coordinating Them with Your Wedding DressBridal accessories, especially the bridal veil, is the finishing touch to any bridal ensemble. Besides the perfect dress, the bridal veil is the one unmistakable element that should elevate your complete wedding day look. Similar to how wedding dresses range from simple and elegant, to extravagant and sparkling, veils do too. A bridal veil is the most iconic piece of your bridal ensemble, the perfect opportunity to make a bridal style statement all your own. While a veil is no longer an absolute must for the modern bride, many women are still choosing to wear them, mostly because, well, it makes them feel like a bride! The trick is knowing what type of veil to pair with what type of wedding dress to make the most impact. Choosing the perfect veil is a personal task that comes with a few decisions. There are wedding veils of all lengths and materials, including statement making cathedral length veils that give your look a dreamy elegance, as well as vintage-inspired blushers that add an air of mystery as you walk down the aisle. Find inspiration here with seven of our favorite bridal veil styles: Cathedral Length Veils A cathedral length veil feels more dramatic than a classic veil. Its sweeping train will glide effortlessly across the floor as you walk down the aisle. In fact, it’s fair to say that your veil will be what your guests will notice most of your bridal ensemble, as you stand at the altar with your back to them. Not planning a church wedding? Many brides have worn cathedral veils on mountain tops, by the sea or in an enchanted garden. The extra length can add the perfect amount of drama to more relaxed settings and will create gorgeous wedding photos you will love to share for years to come. A cathedral veil acts as an extension of your dress, so a beautiful lace trim or embellishments will be a striking focal point that will pull together your bridal look. Cathedral length veils are the preferred choice of veils for royals around the world, and the way to go for the bride who wants to make a formal statement. This iconic accessory is perfect for the classic bride. It can be worn with or without a blusher, depending on whether or not you plan to cover your face for the ceremony. TIP: As long as your gown doesn't have a ton of back detail, you can pretty much wear any type of veil with a dress that has a long train. Just make sure the veil extends past the train. This is particularly important if the train on the wedding gown is heavily beaded. Embellished Veils A favorite bridal veil style is the embellished veil. More is definitely more when it comes to our stunning range of embellished veils. From dramatic embellished lace cathedral veils oozing with drama, to vintage inspired veils and designs dripping with shimmering, eye catching crystals, rhinestones or beads. Let your wedding veil take center stage with embellished veils. Bridal veils with lace and other embellishments always look gorgeous. Accessorizing an already dazzling dress with an embellished veil, with beautiful beading and metallic embroidery, can lend a touch of sparkle and shine to your bridal ensemble. There are several options to choose from lace trim to rhinestone edging to beading throughout. The trick is to choose a veil with details that match the color of the beading or embellishments on your wedding dress. TIP: If you have your heart set on a heavily beaded or embellished dress, you can go in the same direction with your veil. For the princess bride who loves all things bling, a classic, raw/cut edge cathedral veil with scattered Swarovski that will 'twinkle' as you walk down the aisle is absolutely stunning. Floral and Lace Veils Delicate floral and lace veils are the stylish answer to a simple, understated wedding dress. We love the romantic effect these veils add when paired with a glamorous updo or long, loose waves. This bridal veil style combines the most romantic day of your life with the most romantic of fabrics. Lace wedding veils offer the subtle detail that bride’s love, without overdoing it. However, if you prefer a veil with small amounts of lace, there is an array of veils that feature lace trim or those that showcase floral motifs. When picking accessories to pair with these bridal veil styles, be sure to pick simple wedding accessories to complement the ensemble. Bridal Birdcage Veils Bridal birdcage veils, also known as cage veils, are the signature wedding accessory for a vintage glam look. And nothing says vintage glam like a feather adorned birdcage veil. This bridal veil style features flirty cage netting that frames the face and embellished fabric that has a delicate, feminine air. It also allows the lower half of your face to be free as the piece of netting drapes off the side of the head. Bandeau Veils This alluring version of the bridal cage veil only covers the eyes, imparting an air of mystery and adding an element of intrigue to your bridal look. Pair this bridal veil style with a wedding dress that’s just as sexy, one with a low-cut neckline or a willowy profile would be perfect. Blusher Veils Blusher veils are double tier veils that can be worn over your face as a blusher or flipped back for a more voluminous look, or short single tier veils. The veils add an ethereal and romantic feel to any bridal ensemble. This modern bridal veil style is ideal for the vintage inspired bride as it adds an air of mystery as you walk down the aisle. They’re worn over the face before the ceremony, then either flipped over the head or removed afterwards. We love pairing blusher veils with a lacy, feminine wedding dress. Headpiece and Veil Combo Pair a bridal tiara or haircomb with a classic veil for a look that is uniquely you. You’ll feel like a princess! Pairing a headband with a veil is another great way to keep your hair out of the way, while still staying stylish. Headpieces also add a brilliant sparkle and glamour to any ensemble, and the headpiece and veil combination is absolutely beautiful! Make sure your bridal veil is a reflection of you! Your veil and accessories will turn “THE Dress” into YOUR Dress. While certain styling “rules” might apply to getting a great line and proportion with any bridal ensemble, it’s also important to think about 2 things: 1) How did your chosen dress make you feel and what made it “the one”? Romantic, modern, retro? Tap into this emotion for help guiding your choice of veil and accessories. 2) What style or theme do you have in mind for your wedding? Is it a formal wedding, an intimate elopement, a casual garden wedding or glamorous evening affair? Come up with 1-3 keywords you would use to describe your wedding to a best friend. This will help you set the tone for how you want to accessorize your dream wedding dress. As you nail down these two elements, they will often guide your ideas of finishing touches for your veil, such as pearls, crystal, lace, embroidery or other details to personalize it and reflect your authentic style. Additional Tips * Make sure that your favorite parts of your dress aren’t overshadowed or even covered up by your veil. If you want to accentuate the back of your dress, a shorter veil might be a good idea. * Consider selecting a veil color to be a shade lighter than that of your gown so that it brightens the dress. * Slim, fitted wedding dresses usually work better with longer veils; generally the veil should be slightly longer than the hem or train of your dress. * Think about your desired wedding day hairstyle. The longer and heavier your veil is, the more support it will need from your hair, be it a bun, half up/half down, or an updo. * All of the beautiful accessories shown in this post can be found in our boutique. #ABeautifulBrideBoutique
